Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Writing a review for a movie which was released even before I was born is really funny.Too bad I hadn't seen it until today... Rom-com is a genre which I rarely engage inI think the last time I saw a Rom-com was "No String Attached" (2011)What can I say I really liked this film.It is a simple sweet story. Sam(Tom Hanks), has lost his wife and lives with his 8 yr old son and has recently moved to Seattle, WA. Even after a year and a half he still finds himself missing his wife and pining for love. Then one incident happens which changes everything.Surely one of the best Romantic movies I have seen so far, having usually seen the Tom Hanks in his Dan Brown films, it was weird for me watching him so young. Meg Ryan plays her part to perfection.The film is studded with amazing singles from the 80's. I loved the "Make someone happy" by Jimmy Durante.Go watch it you won't regret it!

Sleepless In Seattle is one of those overrated classics, it's average at best. The comedy aspect is a 4 out of 10, Rosie O' Donnell is the one with the most funny lines and she is not in the film that much, the romance...there really isn't that much romance, these two male and female main characters don't know each other from Adam, and he doesn't know anything about her until halfway through and even when he does he doesn't have the same mindset as she has towards him.We see Meg Ryan's character "Annie" stalk this man by sneaking around hiring a private investigator, travelling to his house, watching him play with his son at the beach, if the roles were reversed and this was a man doing these things it would look creepy, but because it's a female doing it, we're supposed to find it "Romantic".Sleepless In Seattle is one of those Christmas/New Years movies, only worth watching once a year.

A lonely father and his young son suffer greatly after his beloved wife dies, thus leaving a huge hole in their lives. Obviously, the one who is the most affected is the little one and as his father doesn't give any sign of trying to restart his life with another woman, he calls the local radio to ask for advice. His father also gets involved and ends up telling the entire public the story of his life. From there, their lives take an unexpected turn, the mailbox being flooded every day with mails from various women impressed by their story. All pretenders seem the same but the son spots something different and is determined to make his father meet that woman before he gets deeper in his new relation.It's a sad story but with well inserted comedy elements which manages to impress you with every single thing it does, with its great story, actors and subtle comedy but it quickly gets predictable while the ending doesn't do the love story much justice. It leaves you a bit disappointed, finishing so abruptly and not providing many details regarding what will happen next. Overall it's a great watch, especially with the loved ones, which had everything to be brilliant but its finale didn't receive as much attention as the rest of the movie.

This movie was a pleasant surprise. I was expecting it to be good since people talk about it all the time but what I didn't know how funny it was! Haven't actually laughed out loud at a movie since a very long time.Some of the scenes were so simple but hilarious.Meg and Tom's chemistry was incredible.The story was different, heartfelt, and beautiful. It made me cry multiple times!!I would highly recommend everyone to watch this.Also I think this 6.8 is way too low. It should be more!They don't make movies like this anymore which is such a shame.Must watch, timeless movie!
