Sleepless in Seattle | Rotten Tomatoes

Patrick M Great classic Rom Com, a few things didn't hold up over time, but overall enjoyable film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/24 Full Review Adam K heartwarming tale with the standout performances Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/25 Full Review Em B This is one of those films I could watch over and over again and never get bored. The other is Beaches. It's so touching, funny and sad. The performances drove the story and you care about every single character. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/25 Full Review Audience Member Delightful rom-com fantasy with good acting and just sufficient depth to elicit thoughts of why we are attracted or not to someone. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/03/25 Full Review Rami A Sometimes, I believe in movies, the performances is what makes it worth it in the very end. "Sleepless in Seattle's" story have not have been original, but the performances are the reason why it feels so natural, creative, original, and fresh. The film itself may have been intended to be a "rom-com," hence the genre label, but I felt more emotional watching this, with a few laughs here and there. More on the performances, Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan, and Ross Malinger were are wonderful and have great development. I love the arcs that these characters go through, and the chemistry between Tom Hanks and Ross Malinger. They perfectly captured the feeling of a widowed father with his 8-year old son. You can feel their struggles, insecurities, determination, and stubbornness. It all feels so natural. Meg Ryan also gives a remarkable performance. Her struggles with her love life and feelings proves that love is a very complicated matter. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/23/24 Full Review Blu B It's Good Enough. It's cliche as hell at times. with lazy dialouge and lazy moments in others, but in the second half it finds it's rhythm and some genuine sincerity and tightens things up enough to make up for the not so special first half. Kate Hudson is solid and the best thing in this. When she's trolling Matt is the best moments and her little devil horns come out is quite charming. This gets in trouble in the middle when it feels like stuff just happens, very cliche stuff that isn't organized in a very sharp fashion that drive each other nuts. The music can get very lazy and is the same rom com soundtrack that you've heard in every Rom Com the past 30 years for first half too. M.M. is just alright in this and really can't match Hudson's charm and energy consistently but he does have his moments and isn't bad overall. Everyone else is super forgetable though the film makes no serious attempt to flesh any of them out. Overall the acting is decent, the soundtrack is good overall thanks to a big improvement in the second half with tracks that are more unique and have dientity to them, and some geniunely charming scenes in the second half. When they play B.S. and driving together is way more charming than the Knicks game or playing cards and has sincereity that is sorely lacking in the first half. Cinematography isn't bad again the first half is very forgettable but the second helps. the direction is pretty basic though. The editing isn't bad and the second half gives this a solid pacing overall. It just tightens up and finds a rhythm even if that rhythm is hitting the cliche genre moments. It does so in a good way. If your a fan of any actors in this, the director, or RomComs I think you'll like this. It's pretty harmless stuff along the lines of something like while you were Sleeping but it hits it's cliches well in the end. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/22/24 Full Review Read all reviews
