The Shop Around the Corner Ratings & Reviews
- Kylacham15 June 2025Before Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in You've Got Mail, there was The Shop Around the Corner. James Stewart being as charming as ever, even when he's not, and supporting characters that feel like they just walked off a Frank Capra film, make this a feel-good romance that is well worth your time.
- Marcelo Zambon20 March 2026This is what you might call the perfect film. A sophisticated, funny, intelligent script and an ode to classic literature. A must-see.
