Patrick M Great classic Rom Com, a few things didn't hold up over time, but overall enjoyable film. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/24 Full Review Gertrude F Oh my god! That was GOOD. best Rom-Com I've watched so far. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/29/24 Full Review Isaiah Y Predictable and shallow, but good performance by Tom Hanks Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/29/24 Full Review Erica K 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... Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/12/24 Full Review R 9 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. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/24 Full Review Jacob B 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 Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
