You knew I’d
review this one next, didn’t you? I am a hopeless sucker whenever this kind of
tear-jerking, heart-warming, feel good all over kind of movie comes along. It was directed by Nora Ephron and was
released – can you believe it? – 29 years ago.
You certainly know that it stars Tom Hanks, at his most appealing. You may have forgotten his co-star Meg Ryan,
but you shouldn’t have – she is great as Hank’s misty-eyed, incurably romantic
love interest. Bill Pullman and Rosie O’Donnell
have excellent comic roles. And, yes,
there is a kid. His name is Ross
Malinger, and in places he nearly steals the show. He was about 14 at the time, but did a great
job of appearing to be about 8. He
appeared in at least one other movie, then gave up acting and now sells cars
for a living. Too bad, he could have
ended up a Lindsay Lohan in trousers.
(Just kidding, Ross. I thought you
were great.)
So, I’m not
going to outline the plot; if you are over the age of 40 you saw it once, and
probably will want to see it again. And
if you are younger – well, lucky you. B
Hi Myrl,Sleepless in Seattle was such a great movie. It's hard to believe that I saw it 29 years ago. Hope you're doing well. Nora
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorites, too. I've watched it multiple times.
