Sleepless in Seattle

Not much I can say about this that hasn't already been said. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan are introduced by circumstance and fall in love. Sappy romance that is now almost a caricature of early 90's sappy, romance films. It is interesting how different a RomCom of this era is so identifiable and different than anything produced 10 or 20 years later. In fact, watch Pillow Talk (1959), Sleepless in Seattle (1993), and Admission (2013), all films with this same plot (characters introduced by circumstance and fall in love) and see if you would classify them as films in the same genre.

3 stars (out of 5)
