Rating:  - Shallow film
"Sleepless in Seattle" is a prime example of what has gone wrong with American filmmaking. Packaged with likable and talented actors, good music, and a heartwarming concept, its contents turn out to be empty, trivial and unconvincing.
The characters of the film are so shallow and poorly developed that one can only care about them if one automatically roots for Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan no matter whom they are portraying. If one lacks this automatic inclination, one can at best generate sympathy for Hank's role as the grieving single father Sam Baldwin and little else. Ryan's character Annie gives one practically no grounds for appreciative identification. She is basically an irrational airhead who provides the viewer with no objective reasons for admiring her. The script and story line are weak and vulgar, providing no compelling motivations for the characters' actions beyond loneliness on the part of Hanks and impulsive and superstitious romanticism on the part of Ryan.
A romantic comedy is not about realism. But the script must motivate the viewers to care enough about the characters to suspend judgment about the fantastic and unrealistic plot lines that are characteristic of romantic comedies. In fact, when one loves the characters because they are noble, brave, funny, insightful, self-sacrificing or possessing some other special trait, one roots for them to experience all possible unlikely twists and turns of positive fortune.

Rating:  - A Classic~*
This is a timeless classic. It is a love story, I think we all know this, and well, yeah. Your basic love story. But there is something about this one that just makes you give it five stars. The love story cult followers, maybe? Am I one of them? *GULP* I don't think of myself as one... Personally, I like Harry met Sally better... but I like Tom Hanks better... so they both get fivers... make sense? lol....

Exactly as described. Honest description and quick shipping made this a most pleasant shopping experience. Kudos.
Rating:  - I'd give it 3.5 stars; a very good movie
It may not be very realistic or even original, but in a way, that's kind of what I liked about. It's a very pleasant, old-fashioned love story, generally without a lot of the bad language and other "adult" situations that can sometimes be a part of some romantic comedies. The gentle pace, the impressive musical score, and the footage of Seattle and NY really make the film better. It may not be a masterpiece, but in a way, it's the kind of movie they should make more of: a funny, sweet film for people of all ages.
Rating: - Want to enthrall your woman??
Chick flick, all day long. Women just love this film. Don't know why, but if they force you to watch it and you get through without ending up snoring, well hey, you're whipped and under their control. Fix that shed door!! Paint that garage frame!! Fix that pipe leak in the bathroom!! How dare you sit there and watch the football game when there are things that need to be done around this house!! LOL
