There are some redeeming qualities, however. You know what, I'll just pretend the film's events were nothing more than second thoughts flashing through Annie's mind as she was walking down the aisle at her wedding. Annie is clearly a stalker, Sam is vulnerable, and this combo cannot possibly end happily ever after. Look, you can have a story that covers these themes, but it needs to make sense reasonably. Where is the meaningful aspect to their relationship? Where is the resonance? Oh right, it's all destiny, yeah, sure, whatever. They share no real dialogue until mere minutes before the credits roll. These two don't know anything about one another. I get why Sam is somewhat likable, but he's more of an average Joe Blow than some exceptional guy every woman would want maybe I missed something, but I'm not seeing the appeal.Īnd how do they pull this bizarre romance together? Well, by throwing in bullshit about soulmates and Sam magically sensing a connection to Annie. What chick wants to be the replacement? You would constantly be compared to the mom with the son involved. Why are we supposed to want him to date again? Maybe he wants to be alone. Okay, so what about Tom Hanks playing Sam? Sam's wife died only 18 months prior, and he's succumbing to peer pressure to date again. I just can't stand this hopeless dreamer element to her character. Does any of this make for a likable character? This relationship will TOTALLY work out. WHAT?! Keep in mind, she's lying to her fiance the whole time about all this. Her next step is to creepily track down a guy she heard on the radio, hire a private investigator to spy on him, and randomly show up to his house unannounced. She even says this crazily and admits she's been watching too many movies! Oh goodness gracious. What is this magic she desires? Well, apparently she wants her life to play out like a movie. Bitch, you're about to marry Bill "we will not go quietly into the night" Pullman! But why does she want someone else? Because she doesn't "feel" any magical connection. This chick is nuts! She is unhappy with her fiance, that she is settling for, and is desperately looking for faults to sabotage the relationship. The writer wants things to happen, and, rather than anything occurring naturally, it is simply thrust upon your sensibilities as a sane individual. There is like this unspoken voice of reason addressed at multiple times, and yet it's completely ignored by the leads in favor of whimsical thinking.
Meg ryan sleepless in seattle movie#
Hell, the two only share a handful of dialogue together! But this movie goes beyond the stalker elements and into delusional territory. Here, there's no chemistry or virtually anything you could claim to be romantic. I definitely stand by my statement that "You've Got Mail" is the superior pairing of Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan by a significant margin. Sure, the '90s were a different time and all that jazz, but come on, son. Realistically, the story is exceptionally disturbing. Review: I don't know what coke I was snorting in '93, but it must have been good shit! I thought I remembered this film actually being romantic. Plot Summary: A deranged woman stalks a man she heard on the radio one time in an attempt to-wait, what's that? This is supposed to be a serious romance?!
