Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Nora Ephron's Sleepless in Seattle is a feather-light romantic comedy about two lovers who meet for the first time in the last reel. It's a stunt, but it's a stunt that works far more effectively than anybody in his right mind has reason to expect.

It's easily the hippest, frankest and funniest date movie around.

rotten:
Ephron and fellow writers Jeff Arch and David S. Ward have conspired to make Sleepless in Seattle as purposefully schmaltzy as one can imagine, in a manner that's almost cynical.

rotten:
If one can ignore all the straining for lightness here, this is watchable enough, though hardly anything resembling a tearjerker.

Mostly, Sleepless in Seattle leaves you feeling restless in the audience.
