- Synopsis:
- Christmas is a magical time when anything can happen. And for Annie Reed (Meg Ryan), a down-to-earth newspaper reporter, it's just about to. Whilst driving to her fiance's house on Christmas Eve, she hears a radio broadcast that will change her life. Eight-year-old Jonah (Ross Malinger) is worried about his recently widowed father, and calls a radio station agony aunt. Persuaded onto the phone, Jonah's dad Sam (Tom Hanks) tells of his love for his dead wife and how their time together was pure magic. Annie is so touched by his heartfelt sentiment that she becomes determined to meet him. But there are a few problems: Sam's in Seattle, Annie's in Baltimore...and Sam doesn't even know that Annie exists!

Classic Film Romance - Sleepless in Seattle review by GI
Unashamedly a soppy and very contrived love story designed to highlight that movie romances are simply fairy stories. It references and homages An Affair To Remember (1957) and in doing so it's a throwback to the classic romantic comedies of yesteryear. But none of this is a criticism because Sleepless In Seattle is a lovely, heartwarming American romcom with two charismatic leads who have real charisma even though they share very little screen time together. Tom Hanks plays Sam, who having lost his beloved wife to illness, moves with his 8 year old son Jonah (Ross Malinger) to Seattle to start a new life. Jonah, sensing his Dad's loneliness, one night calls a radio station asking for a new wife for his dad and inadvertently starts a nationwide story which is picked up by journalist, Annie (Meg Ryan). She begins to feel a strange connection with Sam despite never meeting him and which brings her own relationship into question. The course of their two stories drives them towards each other in a lovely story that defies all sense of reality but this is movie world and it all works a treat. Although this is not a Christmas film it sort of feels like one so it's a great film for that season. the support cast are excellent including Hanks real life wife Rita Wilson as well as Carey Lowell, Bill Pullman and Rob Reiner.

Love this movie - Sleepless in Seattle review by DH
This is a timeless romance and one of my all time favourites. Hanks and Ryan work beautifully and all the references to 'An Affair to Remember' are special. Wonderful easy romance to watch.
