Tom Hanks stars as Sam Baldwin, a widowed father who, thanks to the wiles of his worried son, becomes a reluctant guest on a radio call-in show. He's an instant hit with thousands of female listeners who deluge his Seattle home with letters of comfort. Meanwhile, inspired in equal parts by Sam's story and by classic Hollywood romance, writer Annie Reed (Meg Ryan) becomes convinced that it's her destiny to meet Sam. There are just two problems: Annie's engaged to someone else and Sam doesn't know yet that they're made for each other. Co-starring Rosie O'Donnell, Rita Wilson and Rob Reiner.

A very artificial and sentimental film that, nevertheless, at certain moments appears quite charming, with its leading actors being at the absolute top of their game at the time. Sleepless in Seattle fully exploits the power of the nocturnal city and the endearing vulnerability of Meg Ryan, who was born for such roles and eagerly repeated them several times. It is an average affair of the 1990s, but still a class above similar things made today on the same concept.
