Sleepless in Seattle finds a way to put a fresh seasoning on top of the genre. What are we teaching the other little sons of America, when they see so few movies as humane and woman-positive as Sleepless in Seattle, and so very many that portray women as evil incarnate? The emotional weight of the drama rests on Hanks, and you appreciate how skilfully Ephron structures the film so that the two principals are bound by song and sentiment rather than physical proximity.

But the movie's problems go deeper-than the dialogue: its whole premise is flawed. Sleepless In Seattle balances romance and realism by giving its central characters two different but equally pragmatic philosophies on love. The rest of this romantic comedy about the strange power that pulls a man and woman together Emphasize "romantic.

For nearly two hours, Ephron keeps her marvellous stars apart, a potentially dangerous tactic that works superbly. My Movies. Sleepless In Seattle. Confirm current pricing with applicable retailer.

Hanks stars as Sam Baldwin, a widowed father who, thanks to the wiles of his worried son, becomes a reluctant guest on a radio call-in show. He's an instant hit with thousands of female listeners who deluge his Seattle home with letters of comfort. Meanwhile, inspired in equal parts by Sam's story and by classic Hollywood romance, writer Annie Reed Ryan becomes convinced that it's her destiny to meet Sam.

There are just two problems: Annie's engaged to someone else and Sam doesn't know yet that they're made for each other. Director :. Sleepless in Seattle is manipulative and unashamedly so. The fact that it is somewhat old-fashioned is not a bad thing at all, in fact it is done wonderfully.

The idea to keep Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan apart for most of the movie is a dangerous one, but guess what, I found that it worked! Strictly speaking, Sleeping in Seattle is made up of two story lines, one is about a recently widowed man who moves to Seattle and does nothing but grieve.

The other is features a woman journalist from Baltimore, who overhears the broadcast with Hanks's son pouring his heart out about his concerns for dad and decides to track him down. The scenery is striking, the soundtrack is very welcoming, the direction is solid and the script has heart and wit. In terms of acting, both Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan give marvellous lead performances, while Ross Malinger is a nice surprise as Hanks's son. Overall, a charming and enjoyable film.
