Sleepless in Seattle

In honor of Valentine's Day that's coming up super duper soon, this week, I'm going to write about a cute-sy little rom-com that I'm sure many of you have heard of; Sleepless in Seattle. Sleepless in Seattle is one of my favorite movies and to me, it just never gets old because it's so cute!

Sleepless in Seattle is about a recent widower named Sam Baldwin who lives in Seattle, and how he fatefully meets the woman of his dreams, Annie Ryan, who lives on the other side of the country in Baltimore after being on a call-in radio show. Sam's son, Jonah, sees his dad's inability to move on from his mother's death and his inability to be happy; as a result, Jonah calls into one of those call-in radio shows and tells the radio announcer, "Dr. Marcia Fieldstone" about his dad's predicament. Sam is outraged at first but ends up telling his whole story of how he fell in love with his wife on the air. On the other side of the country, journalist, Annie Ryan, is happily engaged. She is driving to her fiance's family's house and hears Sam's story on the radio. She finds herself in tears by the end and wonders who this man really is. Meanwhile, in Seattle, Sam becomes an overnight sensation. Millions of women from all over send him letters asking him out. Annie decides to send him a letter which he ignores at first; however, Jonah senses that there is something special about Annie and decides that he wants her to be his "new mother." With Jonah's meddling, Annie and Sam....well, I'll let you find out what happens at the end. Here's a clue: it's inspired by An Affair to Remember.

I promise you, this film is just hilarious and heart-warming. I know that sounds cliche, "heart-warming" but there's really no other way to put it. It's one of those feel good flicks that's great, especially around this time of the year. And also, Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks equals brilliant! And the kid who plays Jonah, Ross Malinger, he is sooo adorable! Sleepless in Seattle is just totally adorable, and you should definitely watch it at some point. Here is the trailer. And also, Happy Valentine's Day since I probably won't be writing a blog post until after then!
