[.ca] Sleepless In Seattle [Deluxe Widescreen Presentation] (ISBN 0800130944)

Additional Features:
Digitally remastered, and includes a never-before-seen-on-video mini-feature, "Love in the Movies!"

great chick flick for chicks:
Tom Hanks stars as recent widower from Seattle who talks to a radio show host about his troubles and Meg Ryan plays a recently engaged woman from New York who develops a relationship with Hank's character. The plot is a bit cheesy as well as the lines, but that is how chick flicks are made--cheesy plots and lines. Though most guys will not like "Sleepless in Seattle" unless they enjoy other "chick flicks," most women enjoy this contemporary classic of long distance romance. If you like the movie be sure to check out the DVD, which has many more added features such as a music video and commentary by the director and co-writer.

Very original storyline!:
As a rule, I like romantic comedies. But even I can admit that most of the time, the plots are somewhat lacking, if not out-and-out "redos" of some other movie. However, not so with this movie; the storyline here a unique and charming twist. Before I begin gushing, I'll discuss the one issue I had with this movie: the sexual references. Totally inappropriate coming out of the mouth of an 8-yr old, and not what I would expect of a PG movie. Having said that, the story, if somewhat implausible, was definitely engaging. Tom Hanks will break your heart as Sam, a widowed father trying to put the pieces of his life together--working hard to be a good father while depending on his son to help him "get out of bed in the morning, & breathe in & out all day". Meg Ryan is always charming (well, except for in Top Gun), but Annie is probably her most charming role. Her struggle between a stable, predictable life with her soon to be husband and what she begins to perceive as her "destiny" culminates with a trip to the Empire State Building and a very touching scene as Annie hits it off with Josh who badly needs a mother's love. The ties it makes to "An Affair to Remember" add a humorous sentimentality to this movie, but in no way "copy" the plot of the old classic. In fact, these scenes poke gentle fun at the movie, without being disrespectful or harsh. Not necessarily a classic itself, but all in all a really good flick!

Very Charming.:
Sleepless in Seattle is a movie icon that couldn't have been possible by the A plus chemistry between Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. The film is really wonderful. It makes you feel like you know the characters and actually feel for them. Meg Ryan is cute and funny as always and Tom Hanks plays the lovesick loner role very well. Roseie O' Donnel plays the role of the best friend to Annie (Meg Ryan), and coincidentally Rita Wilson plays one of Tom Hanks's friends, who knew. The plot is a little slow but it isn't a romantic snoozefest. I highly reccomend this movie.

Sleepless in Seattle:
WOW! I LOVE this movie! It's a favorite of all my families. I think this is a great love story and almost anyone would enjoy it.

Absolutely wonderful!:
I first saw this movie when I was in college with my roomate, who knows all the best movies out there. I absolutely fell in love with it, and I went out and bought it immediately. It's ideal if you are single, it gives you hope for finding that perfect someone :), at least it did for me. If you like You've Got Mail, you'll also like Sleepless in Seattle, or if you haven't seen either, they go perfect together!!
