Baltimore And Seattle Connect

Sleepless In Seattle is truly a film for the Nineties. It's a film that is in part based on the high tech culture that the Nineties spawned with computers and nationwide talk radio. How could have you done a film like this in another time?

Well romance is certainly eternal and if the way humans connect is different now, the point is they still connect. And this film takes up the proposition that some folks are fated to be mated.

If I had ever done this thing for either of my parents back in the day or something similar I shudder to think of the consequences. But when young Ross Malinger calls a radio psychologist played in voice only by Caroline Aaron about his father it sets off an entire chain of events that make you believe in fate.

Tom Hanks is the recently widowed father of Malinger they've just finished burying his wife Carey Lowell and he thinks a change of scenery is in order to assuage his grief. Hanks and Malinger move to Seattle and its from their new home in Seattle that young Master Malinger makes his fateful call. Hanks gets on the phone as well and his story touches female hearts across America and he's known by the moniker of Sleepless In Seattle.

One of those touched hearts is Meg Ryan's who is ready to marry Bill Pullman who is playing what used to be called the Ralph Bellamy role. Good old reliable steady Bill, but Meg is hearing a different calling and taking her cues from that Leo McCarey classic, An Affair To Remember she goes in a nationwide hunt for Hanks.

More cynical folks than myself would say that Ryan was stalking Hanks and there are laws against it. But if one is fated to be mated than those laws just don't apply.

Hanks and Ryan strike just the right note as the fated couple and Hanks has some great scenes with young Malenger. Rosie O'Donnell has a nice bit in this as well as Ryan's equally romantic minded friend who kind of quarterbacks Ryan's moves.

Sleepless In Seattle got two Oscar nominations for Best Original Screenplay and Best Song. Nora Ephron directed her own screenplay and the result is a magic romantic film like they used to do even in the high tech Nineties.

Iconic rom-com

Sam Baldwin (Tom Hanks) is heart broken after the death of his wife. So he decides to move with his son Jonah away from Chicago where he is reminded of her everywhere. Annie Reed (Meg Ryan) is engaged to marry meek Walter (Bill Pullman). One faithful night, Jonah calls into a radio talk show to find a new wife for his dad Sam. Annie is listening and falls in love with the magic.

This is in the tradition of great Hollywood rom-coms. The constant referencing to 'An Affair to Remember' only adds to the feeling that this is made by people who watched and loved old rom-coms. That is the intention of Nora Ephron. Her love of those movies really shines through with all the discussion of romance. Tom Hanks and Victor Garber have the hilarious fun scene ridiculing it. And it had the audacity of minimizing the interaction between the leads. Ross Malinger is great as the inquisitive young son, and Rosie O'Donnell puts in yet another brash BFF performance.

Haven't laughed out loudly since a long time!

This movie was a pleasant surprise. I was expecting it to be good since people talk about it all the time but what I didn't know how funny it was! Haven't actually laughed out loud at a movie since a very long time.

Some of the scenes were so simple but hilarious.

Meg and Tom's chemistry was incredible.

The story was different, heartfelt, and beautiful. It made me cry multiple times!!

I would highly recommend everyone to watch this.

Also I think this 6.8 is way too low. It should be more!

They don't make movies like this anymore which is such a shame.

Must watch, timeless movie!
