 Written on February 27, 2008 Summary: Delightful Sleepless in Seattle This movie (DVD) is wonderful. I thank the producers and the actors for making it superb. Written on February 5, 2008 Summary: Happy with Sleepless You just can't miss with Tom Hanks & Meg Ryan. It has a good story line, well carried out. My wife is absolutly in love with the movie. Written on December 29, 2007 Summary: Exceedingly Amiable Rom-Com Offers Hanks, Ryan and a Plethora of Intentional Hollywood Contrivances Between the excessively repeated TV showings of this 1993 concoction and the 1998 You've Got Mail, Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan seem like they have made a hundred movies together when in fact, they only made three (the one people tend to forget about is the quirky and wholly original 1990 Joe Versus the Volcano). They have an easy chemistry when it comes to mainstream romantic comedy, but the irony of this film is that their characters don't really meet until the end. Nora Ephron, who directed and co-wrote the screenplay with David S. Ward (The Sting), Jeff Arch and her sister Delia, regales in the predictable contrivances of the plot which hinge repetitively on old-fashioned Hollywood conventions like fate and destiny. She pays particular tribute to Leo McCarey's An Affair to Remember, which in itself is an inferior remake of his 1939 classic, Love Affair. It is the presumption that all women love the 1957 remake so much that they will be taken in by this contemporary throwback. It turns out she was right. If you don't know already, the story follows too-good-to-be-true Chicago architect Sam Baldwin and his eight-year-old Jonah to Seattle as he attempts to start his life over to forget his recently deceased wife. Concerned that his father has been grieving too long, Jonah calls into a national radio program hosted by an unctuous therapist named Dr. Marcia Fieldstone. She convinces Jonah to get Sam to talk about his feelings of loneliness, which causes an avalanche of letters from smitten women across the country. One is Annie Reed, a Baltimore-based journalist who is already getting cold feet about her recent engagement to allergy-prone Walter. So enthralled by Sam's description of "magic", she writes a letter to him only to throw it away. Her best friend and managing editor Becky, not a fan of Walter, mails the letter, and Jonah immediately recognizes Annie to be the one for his dad. Meantime, Sam has started dating a decorator named Victoria, whose hyena laugh is an understandable sore point for Jonah. There is no need to go further since the rest of the plot is inevitable including a wish-fulfillment finale on the top of the Empire State Building that serves as a what-if variation on the previous cinematic incarnations. Neither Hanks nor Ryan is particularly stretched here, though both manage to exude the charm to get away with the basic silliness of the storyline. His character's ailments and boring attempts at wit aside, Bill Pullman is almost too likable in the Ralph Bellamy role of Walter, so much so that his open-hearted naiveté becomes concerning toward the end. Rob Reiner has a couple of amusing scenes as Hanks' business partner, while Rosie O'Donnell is both funny and uncharacteristically restrained as Becky (she claimed later that her role model for Becky was Bette Midler). A talented child actor, Ross Malinger manages to play Jonah with a minimum of irritable precociousness. As Sam's sister-in-law, Hanks' real-life wife Rita Wilson gets a funny scene to herself when she tearfully describes the ending of An Affair to Remember to eye-rolling Sam and her husband, who respond by recounting The Dirty Dozen in a brotherly crying jag. There hardly seems a valid reason for the 2003 10th Anniversary DVD given how often it plays on TV, but it does offer an interesting commentary track by the Ephron sisters (recorded separately). Also included are a disposable making-of featurette from the time of the film's original release, an execrable Celine Dion music video of "When I Fall in Love" (the song played over the closing credits), and several trailers for films of that period. This is a contrived but still likeable film. Written on December 7, 2007 Summary: great romantic movie this movie is great..tom hanks is a best movie star ever to me..so where you find tom hanks in a movie..it should be great Written on November 13, 2007 Summary: Soulmate anyone? This movie is so romantic and makes you want to follow your heart and throw caution to the wind and submit yourself to your destiny. Mind you, please keep in mind it is just a movie! But that is what you will feel at the end of it! It is totally worth adding to your collection if you are a romantic at heart and love happy endings, that have dignified characters which warms your heart. Also, if you love While you were Sleeping, you will love this movie. Bill Pullman is in both but a total contrast in this movie to While you were sleeping but he is still lovely. You've got mail - forget it - this is the Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan movie that you must see. |
