Sleepless in Seattle
1993
****
Director: Nora Ephron
Cast: Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan, Bill Pullman, Ross Malinger, Rob Reiner
Practically the entire female population, including the reporter played Meg Ryan, falls in love with a Seattle widower when he calls into a radio show and talks about his dead wife. This romantic comedy is in danger of turning syrupy at several points, but it just simply charms you. However, I cannot completely surrender to a film that lifts so much of its story from another romantic classic, An Affair to Remember.
