With a hat tip to An Affair to Remember, this is a great romantic comedy about two people who barely know each other but fall in love based on one of them hearing the other one being interviewed on the radio. It’s also a time capsule about dating in the 90s when people had to go out of their way in all sorts of different ways to meet each other. It’s hugely implausible but wins you over with heart and with a lot of really good humorous scenes and characters.

heartwarming tale with the standout performances

This is one of those films I could watch over and over again and never get bored. The other is Beaches. It's so touching, funny and sad. The performances drove the story and you care about every single character.

Delightful rom-com fantasy with good acting and just sufficient depth to elicit thoughts of why we are attracted or not to someone.

Sometimes, I believe in movies, the performances is what makes it worth it in the very end. "Sleepless in Seattle's" story have not have been original, but the performances are the reason why it feels so natural, creative, original, and fresh. The film itself may have been intended to be a "rom-com," hence the genre label, but I felt more emotional watching this, with a few laughs here and there. More on the performances, Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan, and Ross Malinger were are wonderful and have great development. I love the arcs that these characters go through, and the chemistry between Tom Hanks and Ross Malinger. They perfectly captured the feeling of a widowed father with his 8-year old son. You can feel their struggles, insecurities, determination, and stubbornness. It all feels so natural. Meg Ryan also gives a remarkable performance. Her struggles with her love life and feelings proves that love is a very complicated matter.

It's Good Enough. It's cliche as hell at times. with lazy dialouge and lazy moments in others, but in the second half it finds it's rhythm and some genuine sincerity and tightens things up enough to make up for the not so special first half. Kate Hudson is solid and the best thing in this. When she's trolling Matt is the best moments and her little devil horns come out is quite charming. This gets in trouble in the middle when it feels like stuff just happens, very cliche stuff that isn't organized in a very sharp fashion that drive each other nuts. The music can get very lazy and is the same rom com soundtrack that you've heard in every Rom Com the past 30 years for first half too. M.M. is just alright in this and really can't match Hudson's charm and energy consistently but he does have his moments and isn't bad overall. Everyone else is super forgetable though the film makes no serious attempt to flesh any of them out. Overall the acting is decent, the soundtrack is good overall thanks to a big improvement in the second half with tracks that are more unique and have dientity to them, and some geniunely charming scenes in the second half. When they play B.S. and driving together is way more charming than the Knicks game or playing cards and has sincereity that is sorely lacking in the first half. Cinematography isn't bad again the first half is very forgettable but the second helps. the direction is pretty basic though. The editing isn't bad and the second half gives this a solid pacing overall. It just tightens up and finds a rhythm even if that rhythm is hitting the cliche genre moments. It does so in a good way. If your a fan of any actors in this, the director, or RomComs I think you'll like this. It's pretty harmless stuff along the lines of something like while you were Sleeping but it hits it's cliches well in the end.

There is no way not to praise each other's actors in this film. Really great acting. Of course, the main character was the best.

Such a heartbreaking love story. Its made me cry

Mission accomplished team. So cute and heart touched movie

Oh my god! That was GOOD. best Rom-Com I've watched so far.

Predictable and shallow, but good performance by Tom Hanks

When i watched this movie, it was totally NOT what i expected, to be honest... Its a cute classic romcom movie, but was it really good? In my opinion, it was just confusing and..weird maybe? By all means its not a bad concept for a movie; i thought that the whole radio concept was actually really cool and funny, i never really seen it anywhere else in any other film (which is why this one is unique). But most parts of the other film kind of ruined it... To start off, Sam's dead wife was never established later in the movie after the whole beginning sequence, which i find just kind of takes the writing and characters a little less seriously when connecting them with their backstories. Second the entire movie seemed SOOOO dragged out: an example would be why they gave Sam his new date (the weird laugh lady), was for there to be more drama between Sam and Annie (even though they never met nor had drama in the first place? ALSO HELLO THE WHOLE STALKING THING?). Leading to my next point, Annie went way over board on this one; i get it people could get really nervous about weddings and their future spouses, but her LITERALLY stalking Sam, at this point wtf... ALSO wasn't she saying already how crazy in love she was about Walter? I guess that just got thrown out the window. Lastly, i know romcoms are all about coincidences, but this whole thing was just not even trying to hide it...The fact Annie heard the radio, the fact she wasn't happy with her fiancé (why? i don't know they seemed fine), the fact HER letter got picked out of ALL THE OTHER THOUSANDS OF LETTERS by Jonah, the fact that Sam ONLY SAW HER at the airport?!, the fact no other girl on that roof was named Annie... Y'all i don't know but this movie was just not sitting right with me with how weirdly placed everything was... In general though, its not a TERRIBLE movie, but it definitely didn't really make me feel any romance... i love when characters meet, and talk, and grow upon each other, and actually have a good interactive story about their journey throughout the entire film, instead of a "love at first site" situation, and them only ever interacting actually at the very last minutes of the film... Another example (with the same actors surprisingly), is You got mail; that movie is a example of how i love how the characters interact with each other. In conclusion, cute film, really interesting and unique concept, could have been portrayed better, the comedy was good, actors were good, the entire romance part of the film was lacking, and the coincidences were showing up to much it just seemed kind of weird...

Great classic Rom Com, a few things didn't hold up over time, but overall enjoyable film.

I can't say I had a fun time with 'Sleepless in Seattle'. Post-watching, I was unsure how I felt about it. The whole set-up and how the story is portrayed is weird, the fact that the two characters in what supposed to be a romcom don't even properly meet until the final act is an odd choice, like don't get me wrong I can see it working but here it didn't for me... especially with one side giving stalker vibes, which adds to the weirdness. I also wasn't convinced by the two leads, in both their performances and in their suitability - obviously the latter is hampered by the fact we barely seem them together so they cannot show any chemistry. Tom Hanks is the standout but only just, Meg Ryan tries though her character is just a bit mundane; and is in my opinion better suited to Bill Pullman's Walter, even though the film attempts to show us the opposite. No-one else onscreen sticks out, though credit to youngster Ross Malinger. It's a nae from me, both Hanks and Ryan have thankfully done much better.

A cheesy yet entertaining romcom with likeable performances, amusing comedic moments, well-executed dramatic ones and good direction from Nora Ephron. Sleepless in Seattle and judging by the comparisons this crowd is making, I think When Harry Met Sally is an ideal movie to watch next Valentine's Day #ShamelessSequelBaiting :p

This film is highly over-rated. Although it had an all star cast; the jokes were terrible, the love storyline was nonsensical, I didn't get the point of the film and the city of Seattle does not play a big role in the film despite it's title.

The way they see one another makes lets my heart know that true love exists.

Exactly what it needed to be. Nothing more, nothing less.

Brainrotting.........

Everything corny and sappy I say I usually hate and ruins movies . This time I guess it gets a pass 3.4
