Top Critics Reviews

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

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

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.

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

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.
