DOWN &
DIRTY:
Romantic Comedy: Two rival
bookstore owners unknowingly
carry on a relationship over the
Internet.
NITTY GRITTY:
Kathleen Kelly (MEG RYAN) runs
The Shop Around the Corner, a
children's bookstore in New
York's Upper West Side. Living
with a newspaper columnist, Frank
Navasky (GREG KINNEAR), Kathleen
believes her life to be good and
enjoys the company of her
employees and coworkers, such as
Birdie (JEAN STAPLETON) and
George (STEVE ZAHN).
Joe Fox (TOM HANKS) also thinks
his life is fine as he lives just
a few blocks away from Kathleen
with his arrogant book editor
girlfriend, Patricia Eden (PARKER
POSEY). Joe is heir to the Fox
Books super store chain run by
his father (DABNEY COLEMAN). Now
Fox is opening one of their mega
stores right around the corner
from Kathleen's quaint little
bookshop.
Joe and Kathleen soon become
bitter business enemies once they
finally meet in person, but
unbeknownst to them, they've been
anonymously flirting with each
other by e-mail.
As Joe and Kathleen's business
rivalry grows, so does their
cyber-relationship.
THE ENDING:
NY152 (a.k.a Joe) and Shopgirl
(a.k.a Kathleen) finally decide
to meet in person. Joe gets to
the meeting place late and
discovers that Shopgirl is really
Kathleen. Kathleen thinks NY 152
has stood her up. Joe enters the
restaurant and talks with
Kathleen. He really likes her.
She slowly comes around to liking
Joe. Joe as NY 152 arranges
another meeting and when Kathleen
sees it's him, Joe reveals his
secret.
WHAT EVERYONE WILL BE
TALKING ABOUT:
The chemistry between
Hanks and Ryan. They did it once
before in 'Sleepless in Seattle'
and again here.
