Like all Nora Ephron characters, they feel lived-in, with that squishy quality around the edges. The characters are fully realised, with fleshed out relationships and tics and nuances. Despite spending hardly any screen time together in this movie, there's an electricity that crackles between them. You've Got Mail came after this, when the seeds of their chemistry had already been planted.
Is there such a thing as love at first sight? Can you have it twice? And can you fall in love with someone that you've never even met? Is there such a thing as love at first sight? Can you have it twice? And can you fall in love with someone that you've never even met?

SLEEPLESS IN SEATLE TRAILE MOVIE
But the actual central conceit of this movie is slightly different. ("How long is your programme?") That's the plot.
On the other side of the country in chilly Baltimore Annie Reed (Meg Ryan) is listening to the conversation unfold, and finds herself increasingly drawn to Sam (Tom Hanks), as he talks about how much he loved his wife. Jonah calls into a radio station, sharing with the cheesy, honey-voiced psychologist-anchor that his father needs a new wife. They move to Seattle for a fresh start and neither are sleeping (hence the title). Could you guess that from the title? The tale of this movie follows Sam and Jonah Baldwin, a father and son, struggling to come to terms with the death of a mother and wife.

" "Sleepless in Seattle", a real charmer, is a romantic comedy about an ultimate long-distance relationship. " A movie to which director and co-writer Nora Ephron brought her terrific flair, wit and nous, although she propagates the terrifying fallacy that a widower makes a wonderful romantic catch." - Guardian Unsure where it will lead, she writes Sam a letter asking him to meet her at the Empire State Building on Valentine's Day.Īmerican Comedy Awards - Funniest Actress in a Leading Role, Meg RyanĪcademy Awards - Best Original Screenplay (Nora Ephron, David S.
