Sleepless in Seattle (1993)

B

Synopsis

A recently widowed father uproots himself and his young son to Seattle. Sensing his father's unhappiness, the son calls in to a radio show asking for help. In Baltimore, an engaged woman hears the radio and it turns her world upside down as she becomes obsessed with trying to meet him.

Review

A classic romantic! Based quite a bit on An Affair to Remember with Cary Grant and Debra Kerr. It's kind of annoying though how Annie (Ryan) and Sam (Hanks) don't get together until the very end and Annie is engaged to another guy Walter (Pullman). Sam is such a sweet and loving father to little boy Jonah. And it's cute that the boy goes off to New York looking for "his new mother" Annie.
