In the movie You've Got Mail (1998) at approx. 21:15 Joe Fox (Tom Hanks) says to Annabelle Fox (Hallee Hirsh) and Matt Fox (Jeffrey Scaperrotta) "I know you, I know you" as they run on to the marina. Chuck Noland (Tom Hanks) says the same to Wilson the volleyball as he is repairing Wilson's face at approx. 1:31:12. See more »
Goofs
Wilson's box bears the AVP (Association of Volleyball Professionals) logo. Spalding was the "official" manufacturer in 1995, not Wilson. See more »
As the credits are "in order of appearance," Tom Hanks is listed a significant way down the list of actors/roles, not at the top as one would expect. See more »
I simply loved this film but was shocked by the bad reviews that people gave it. To this I say to them: You seriously misunderstood the meaning of it. Although I won't reveal any real details about the meaning because I think that you should try and understand it yourself. The movie was terrific and simply breathless the whole time. I felt awestruck about how the life of one man could be so changed after an experience that Hanks went through. I say that every element of the film was perfect. And for those of you who hate Wilson, you have to understand about how human he really was to Chuck. I was amazed on how well this movie was made and think that everybody should have an experience that should cause you to take stock of your life. I was so adamant to get this movie; I got it at 8:00 the day it was released. I give it an 8/10. Well done Robert
