Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks play single adults, a newspaper journalist and a newly-widowed father, on opposite sides of the country who find each other by chance and by purpose. SLEEPLESS is a candid fulfillment to both romance and comedy. It is true to the sense of how we often meet those relationships in our lives...some by chance, some by application. The writing is invaluable and each character is beautifully developed. Ryan and Hanks are genuinely the woman who is worried about making the wrong choice and as the single father reluctant to move on. Rosie O'Donnell lends a beautiful and honest portrayal as Ryan's BFF. Maybe that is because her blatant regard reminds me of my best friend I am so grateful to forever. But that is part of the beauty of this film, so many bits and pieces that remind us of our own lives, friends, and loves. SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE is a cute, sweet romantic comedy on the surface and entertaining in this right. However, there is a timelessness in the hope and intimacy in every scene provided by every aspect of the film. After wearing out my VHS copy of this film, it was time to move on to the DVD, especially because I was anxious to see any bonus features.Read full review
I like this movie very much! It's totally family-friendly. The story is lovely; it was very interesting for the kids as well as the adults. [We do have a hard time of finding movies that we can watch with our 'twin'-aged kids.] You can watch this story time and again. I highly recommend this video to those who don't want to see violence, blood, killing, or bad language.
