With due credit to the writers who conjured the scripts BRAVO! Sam Baldwin (Tom Hanks) and his 8 year old son Jonah Baldwin (Ross Malinger) are hit by surprise when their wife/mother Maggie is suddenly passes away. Two individuals who have never seen nor heard of each other falls in love over a radio show and in another instance rivals in business who falls in love in a chat room. Next it's the very seasonal touch (most movies are set during the holiday season) she adds onto them and then the medium she uses to bring her lovers together. It is indeed evident primarily with her preference on always casting Meg Ryan. Norah Ephron who has a knack for movies of this category certainly takes her work to heart.
It in-fact personifies the mere idea of such platonic connections between two people. SIS by director Norah Ephron holds onto the idea of platonic love. This value of love has been misread entirely in Hollywood of today and movies with such innocent intentions are quite rare. It's a connection on a platonic level unlike the attraction of lust. We all have an emotional connection in our lives to someone that is entirely unexplainable. It is said that there is no greater gift than the gift of love. Ryan and Hanks in one of the very earliest of their performances together scores a near perfect score with SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE. SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE, YOU'VE GOT MAIL, CITY OF ANGELS & WHEN MAN LOVES a WOMAN is titles that cannot be forgotten if you are indeed a fan of the genre. Meg Ryan the Venus of the 90s was probably in every romcom that made a mark back then. Tom Hanks who stole your heart away as Forrest and who showed true grit in taking on the solo role of Chuck in CAST AWAY is always remembered fondly by his fans for those magical characters he played.
However every-time you do push that DVD in your player, it is certain that it will move you and reach out to you just as much as it did the very first time. Some maybe as powerful as FORREST GUMP, some can bring to life a tragedy that came upon the unsinkable vessel THE TITANIC, some movies can be considered as the next step in cinematography as THE GLADIATOR and then there are those few whose names remain but the story is forgotten with time such as SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE. Certain movies will indeed last a life time. A love story between two ends of a continent and a story that is unique during its time, a story of love and chance that would make the female romantics stomachs turn.
