Love the long scene in the car with Meg Ryan listening (and reacting) to the radio interview with Tom Hanks and his son Ross Malinger (the interviewer is Caroline Aaron). It's a good screenplay by Ephron, David Ward (Steelyard Blues and The Sting) and Jeff Arch from the latter's story.
Film has properly fleshed out characters e.g. work buddy Rob Reiner, kid's girlfriend, boyfriend Bill Pullman, Baltimore Sun editor Rosie O'Donnell. It all helps.
Exchange between kids:
"How much does it cost to fly to New York?"
"Nobody knows. The price changes every day."
