You’ve Got Mail! It’s our movie topic for today featuring Bill Murray and Meg Ryan. It came out in 1998.

Quick Summary~

They met online in a chatroom and clearly like each other. However, there are a few problems in the way. One, they are dating other people. Two she runs a local bookstore and he runs off-brand Barnes and Noble. Will they be able to see past each other’s flaws and find love? You’ll have to watch and find out.

It’s not creepy in context. These days it would be like going on a blind date with someone you met online.
