Weirdly creepy and startlingly out-of-date remake which capitalized on Sleepless in Seattle nostalgia at the time. Now that I know this is a remake of a romcom from an earlier era, some of the scenarios make more sense and I can see them being delivered in a TransAtlantic accent, but I couldn't get over the bizarre sadistic sociopathy of Joe Fox knowing that Kathleen Kelly was unaware of who he was but choosing to brazenly manipulate her, ending in a twisted romantic finale ("i was hoping it was you!"). I think IRL the female lead would have exploded and pummeled such a twisted sneak. Unless of course she was so beaten down by losing her business that she'd accept anything.
Avoid unless you're a woman with no self-esteem, or a creepy internet stalker male who likes to catfish.
