With this boxset i dont now where to start really, each film displays Meg Ryan's great acting ability. My faviourite of the three is City of Angels in which Meg Ryan playes a straight face doctor who has had one of her patience's die, as you can imagine she is devistated, but she bumps into Nicolas Cage who is a angel ready to take away Meg's patient, she dosnt realise this however, and the two lost souls connect magically, but eventually Meg finds out that he's an angel, and begs him to become human, But will he ? or will he still lead the life as a angel he's always been used to. (just get you tissues out at the end as it is despratly sad) The two leading actors are brilliant and give real and raw performances, especially our heroine Meg! The story is apsolutely brilliant, there are some lines in that film that can littrely break your heart and there are some lines that will make you smile whenever you think about them. Although this film is despratly sad, it still leaves you with a positive feeling and that is usually not there most films are restiricted to either depression or happiness and that shouldnt be so.Now youve got mail is the complete opposite of City of angels, Youve got mail is the most uplifting completly happy film on this planet, this is how we all wish our life was, living in a beautiful side of New York walking down the steps to your great appartment with the song dreams playing, it's the picture of most peoples most ideal fantasy, and thats really how the whole film plays along, the pacing is so great because it isnt so fast that all the information is cramed down you throat, but neither is it so slow that it becomes tiresome it's just right. The bones of the story is that Kathline Kelly (Meg Ryan) owns a little childrens book shop but, Joe Fox (Tom Hanks) is opening a huge book market which could potentially wipe out Kathline's store, but Kathline's been chatting to the person she supposedly madly in love with on the internet, and who do you think that could be, you guessed it it's Joe, so will they get together or wont they, well i think we all know the answer to that, but if your feeling deppressed then just swith this film on and you can gaurentee that you'll be instantly uplifted. Probably my least faviourite of the three is Addicted to love, because it dosnt really seem as if there's anything truly original or inspiring about it, althjough Mathew Broderick and Meg Ryan put in great performances it's just not enough to inject enough life into this other wise dieing film, the main story revolves around a women who has had the love of her life stolen from her by her biggest rival, she's truly devestated so she gets with Mathew Broderick to break up their ex's relattionships, it's not that funny, and if meg hadnt been in it then it wouldnt really be worth making it. From the diffrnt feels to each of these film i think it really shows Meg ryan true diversaty as a actress and i think that she is truly wonderful, this three dvd box set is well worth buying because each one of these films has something diffrent and unique to offer Jay
