Woman falls in love with man she hears on radio chat show, anonymously named Sleepless in Seattle by the chat show production team.

Romantic comedy as the two of them eventually get together, or do they...?

"A guaranteed weepy. Ooohhhooo iee oooooo!"

"Voted most weepy movie at 1993 World movie weepathon."

"One of those cheeky kids with their nice Dad stories. One of the first Tom Hanks blockbusters, if you do not count Splash or Bachelor Party."

"Tom Hanks can really do pining. I am filling up even writing this now."

"Was that that nice Niles Fraiser in such barn storming philosophical performance? Yessum mister."

"That is the first time I have heard the phrase yessum mister since Little House on the Prairie all those years ago. A triumph of movie reviewage!"

"A rainy afternoon picture."

"Call me old fashioned but there really should have been more porn in this movie. A nice movie, but no red hot lust in sight. I want my money back."

Of course they get together...

They meet at the top of the Empire State building. Not a dry eye in the house. After this you may like You've got mail, same stars. We preferred it to this one.

"It's easier to be killed by a terrorist than for a woman to get married after the age of 40."

"Winter must be cold for those with no warm memories. We've already missed the spring."

Home baked cakes with icing.

A missed marketing opportunity: the Hanks character has a kitchen suitable for the Galloping Gourmet. Would have made a nice Christmas cookery book tie-in.

Lesson in life #244: People just don't look as good as this based on just their voices. #567: Accidental on purpose meetings just don't happen in real life.

Written by hardened cynics who cry a lot.

Dogs will think it is ironic to sleep on their front legs so that when they get up, they will get sympathy from falling to the ground again. Ensure you have a bowl of water on hand at all times.

Cats love Meg Ryan. Warn them the morning before to avoid scratch marks on the floor, which are inevitable if you surprise them that the movie is just about to start.

Tarantula spiders are great Louis Armstrong fans and will become sleepy during that part of the soundtrack. Beware: they will be scared by the fireworks and may attempt to jump into your arms.

Love is a many splendored thing, uhm just don't miss the spring... uhm... ergh...

A super adsorbent weepy movie handkerchief/chamois leather/un moistened bath sponge.

The Meg Ryan character uses up to date 1993 technology to do a search on 'Sleepless in Seattle'. A triumph of orange on black fonts.

We saw this movie after You've Got Mail in a freak movie reviewing timing paradox. You've Got Mail was much better than this one, even though it isn't really a sequel. The main plot issue with SiS is that the two characters don't meet until the end .

A Cary Grant movie without Cary Grant. A nice humor-weepy
