Reviews
MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
akgonen60 I thought the movie wasnt that bad i was reading other revews and kinda understand what there saying but in my point of view i thought it wasnt that bad or it could have ben the superstar actress and actor in the movie that made it seem special but either way 7/10
nadinesalakovv Sleepless In Seattle is one of those overrated classics, it's average at best. The comedy aspect is a 4 out of 10, Rosie O' Donnell is the one with the most funny lines and she is not in the film that much, the romance...there really isn't that much romance, these two male and female main characters don't know each other from Adam, and he doesn't know anything about her until halfway through and even when he does he doesn't have the same mindset as she has towards him.We see Meg Ryan's character "Annie" stalk this man by sneaking around hiring a private investigator, travelling to his house, watching him play with his son at the beach, if the roles were reversed and this was a man doing these things it would look creepy, but because it's a female doing it, we're supposed to find it "Romantic".Sleepless In Seattle is one of those Christmas/New Years movies, only worth watching once a year.
harshsaini-64496 I personally fell in love with her eyes and God Tom Hanks looked handsome when he had hair, and the story is of the simpler time, I think for today's generation it will serve as a reminder that life doesn't have to be fast-paced. Enjoy the moment, instead of being anxious about the next one.
Predrag This movie really benefits from a strong cast of good actors and an excellent soundtrack. The more I study romance movies the more I see that there plotted where a suitor male or female must quest after the love of their life and that fate or destiny brings them together despite long odds. I guess that's the where the idea of 'romantic,' comes from as I've always understood it to mean. To quest after a nearly unobtainable goal.Meg Ryan, as well, is an accomplished actor who can play drama as well as comedy (check out her performance in "When A Man Loves A Woman"), but she really sparkles in romantic comedies like this one, and she is absolutely perfect for the role of Annie (just as she was for her role in "You've Got Mail"). She makes Annie a very real person, and through her we can empathize with Sam's situation, as she enables and allows the audience to experience what she is feeling right along with her. Ryan, through her character, makes that emotional involvement possible, and it's one of the strengths of the film. And like Hanks with Sam, Ryan makes Annie a character you're going to remember. The exemplary supporting cast includes Bill Pullman (Walter), Rita Wilson (Suzy), Victor Gerber (Greg), Tom Riis Farrell (Rob), David Hyde Pierce (Dennis), Dana Ivey (Claire), Gaby Hoffman (Jessica) and Rob Reiner (Jay).So begins a romantic odyssey that probably could only happen in the movies, but it makes no difference because in Ephron's capable hands, this story works, and it works beautifully. There's a line in the movie, in fact, that kind of sums it all up: Becky (played by Rosie O'Donnell) says something to the effect to Annie that, "You don't want love, you want "movie" love. And maybe that's why this movie is so endearing and enduring; it's about the kind of love you find in a perfect world, the kind of love everybody wants and needs (though few will admit it, even to themselves) but rarely finds, and Ephron knows exactly how to make it connect with her audience. It has to do with understanding basic human needs and knowing how to translate it all into a cinematic art form that will effectively reach those who see it.Overall rating: 9 out of 10.
