Short
plot summary |
|
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...?
|
What
our panel of critics thought |
"A
guaranteed weepy."
"Voted
most weepy movie at 1993 World Movie Weepathon or did I make that
up?"
"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."
"A
rainy afternoon picture."
|
Please
tell me the ending. |
|
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.
|
Quotable quotes (real) |
|
"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."

Other
comments |

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
