jgreed-49807 If I knew a woman who turned down a great guy for a dream fictitious guy, I'd renounce them. Thats why some people, male and female, remain single and lonely.
nadinesalakovv Sleepless In Seattle is one of those overrated classics, it's average at best. The comedy aspect is a 4 out of 10, Rosie O' Donnell is the one with the most funny lines and she is not in the film that much, the romance...there really isn't that much romance, these two male and female main characters don't know each other from Adam, and he doesn't know anything about her until halfway through and even when he does he doesn't have the same mindset as she has towards him.We see Meg Ryan's character "Annie" stalk this man by sneaking around hiring a private investigator, travelling to his house, watching him play with his son at the beach, if the roles were reversed and this was a man doing these things it would look creepy, but because it's a female doing it, we're supposed to find it "Romantic".Sleepless In Seattle is one of those Christmas/New Years movies, only worth watching once a year.

studioAT Ask people to name one of their favourite romantic comedies and chances are they'll name this one.I can understand why. It's got two likable stars in the lead roles, some quirky supporting characters and a love story as old as the hills.And yet it remained one of those films I felt I should be liking a lot more than I actually was. It was like I was thinking "it'll get to the bit everyone raves about in a minute" and then the film ended and I didn't get it.Films are subjective, comedies even more so. For me this film remained just OK, nothing spectacular.
