Summary: Way too pat
Review: I re-watched "Sleepless in Seattle" within 24 hours of "While You Were Sleeping" so I have to say that "Sleepless" pales in comparison. Tom Hanks is earnest, moving and believable in his depiction of a "guy who just lost his wife". The kid, "Jonah", could be worse, but then again he could also be a lot less nauseating. Meg Ryan IS just downright annoying. This film is guilty of heavy gender stereotyping (please! I cried in the clown/church scene in "Brassed Off", not some dumb weepie). It was also somewhat disturbing that the potential partners Walter and Victoria are dismissed for, it seems, his allergies and her laugh. The two stars I give this movie are for Tom Hanks' performance, and for some genuinely sweet scenes in it. Unfortunately, in a movie supposedly about the perfect couple, two ie. a couple of good performances are needed. The idea of fate and the perfect match is one we all love, but surely it is a more powerful notion that relationships are built when two strangers get to slowly know and love each other, rather than some pre-determined guff. There is one scene in this movie, when Sam sees off Victoria and sees Annie at the airport. He is telling Jonah about how single people "try other people on and see how they fit" It is moving and true to life; however, in the next minute he does indeed feel a connection to Annie who he spots as a complete stranger in a crowd. Frankly, I prefered the first explanation. For a really charming love story, I suggest "While You Were Sleeping". No sweeping statements about society and love, no putting-down of less fortunate characters or relationships. Instead you get a movie where both of the protagonists are pleasant, and which shows that relationships are based upon getting to know that you get along together - that the significant other is "someone you can laugh with".

Summary: A Cute Movie
Review: I thought this movie was cute because the kid calls a radio station and says his Dad neads a wife. It was funny too. It's a really good movie.

Summary: Sleepless in Seattle: SE DVD Review: It's all good!
Review: I have been a fan of Ephron's work and also of movies such as "When Harry Met Sally", "You've Got Mail"...love stories. I'm not sure how many times I have seen this movie but I love it. The thing is I own the VHS copy and when the first DVD came out, "Widescreen Edition", I was disappointed. The reason is because it was just the movie and it was widescreen, that's it? Well, not too long ago, they released a second DVD. The "Special Edition". Now, I'm happy because it's widescreen and it has quite a few extras but it wasn't in digital 5.1. I know this is a dialogue movie but I watched many dialogue movies that still use 5.1. Aside from that this is the right DVD to get, especially if you enjoy love stories. I'm so happy to see the music video of "When I Fall in Love" by Celine Dion and Clive Griffin. Also, there are a few theatrical trailers. Also, they included subtitles from other three Asian countries (except Japanese...what's up with that?) The commentary was very interesting. To hear Nora Ephron and her sister (the fourth writer in the movie) Delia discuss how certain things happen in the movie and especially how Tom Hanks did certain things to enhance a scene. It shows how good and how true this actor is for his work. I know there were several cut scenes but I wish they included them in the movie. The featurette was interesting especially to see Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew of "Loveline" in it. What it boils down to is it's better than the VHS version if you love the movie and it's definitely better than the previous DVD because it comes with more features. If you enjoy love stories, this is one that will be a classic for romantics forever.

Summary: One of my favourite!
Review: Aren't we all secretly hoping that there really is a match made in heaven out there somewhere just waiting for us? And that there are forces at work trying to get us together with the right person? Well, that's exactly what I believe, and I'm so glad Nora Ephron makes films that help our faith along, just like the books by Johanna Spyri ("Heidi") or Lucy M. Montgomery ("Anne of Green Gables"). Why don't we finally begin listening to the voices in our hearts instead of smothering them in all the turbulence the world offers us today? This film is refreshing, heart-warming and wonderful. I can recommend it to anyone that needs rejuvenation. Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks are both wonderful actors, and I have immensely enjoyed the films I have seen with them. This one is no exception. Applause also for Ross Malinger and Gaby Hoffmann for their roles as Jonah and Jessica. If you enjoy romantic comedies, this one shouldn't be missing from your collection.

Summary: A movie men and women will like.
Review: Tom Hanks plays a widower from Chicago who, because of the death of his wife, decides to start over in Seattle. Meg Ryan plays a soon to be married D.C. yuppy. Their lives couldn't be farther apart. Ryan hears of Hanks when Hanks' son calls into a radio talk show looking for help to cure his dad's depression. After hearing Hanks talk about how much he loved his wife and hearing the sadness in his voice Ryan begins obsessing over Hanks. Good fun ensues from there. Most guys will think that this movie is nothing more than a "chick-flick". I was of the same opinion and only watched it because I was forced to.` What sold me was Hanks' comedic preformance. This movie is truly funny. I could not stop myself from giggling throughout the film as Hanks struggled with getting back into the dating scene. So guys, if you want to impress your lady friend by not bringing home an action flick, this is one you will be able to sit through. And girls, if you want your men to sit through a romance movie, this is a good choice.

Summary: The Perfect Romance Movie
Review: Tom Hanks, one of my favorite comedy actors, stars in this wonderful romance story about a woman (Ryan) who falls for a widower in Seattle when she hears him over the radio. The story is great and the supporting performances from O'Donnell and Pullman are excellent. I like the movie because the Empire State Building is in it. A GREAT ROMANCE FILM.

Summary: Love Story
Review: If you like love stories, a good story line, and laughing, then you should watch this one. It is very entertaining, and you will enjoy it even after many viewings. It's story line resembles One Fine Day, but Sleepless In Seattle is much better.

Summary: Great movie for all ages!
Review: I first saw this movie when i was 11 years old and typically because of my age I wasn't into the romance genre. However I absolutely loved this movie and it touched me like no other! Meg Ryan was perfectly cast for the role and Tom and Meg are the best portrayed on screen couple ever! Romantic comedies have been my favourite film genre ever since and Meg Ryan has been my all time favourite actress ever since! I definitely recommend this movie to all ages!

Summary: How can you not love this movie?
Review: Seriously, there is nothing better than watching Sleepless in Seattle with a loved one... if you're going to watch movies. This movie is the most romantic, cute and heartwarming movie in the world. Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks are such a cute actor/actress combination. Its almost a traditional valentines day movie, and at least one that you should see if you haven't before.
