YMS -- Sleepless in Seattle

In addition to my regular film reviews/news, I will now be posting a column called "You Must See..." or YMS. I will then discuss a film that I particularly like and explain why its a must-see. Enjoy!

I will kick off my very first YMS with my favorite romantic comedy of all time, Sleepless in Seattle. This 1993 film was written and directed by Norah Ephron and stars Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. Recent widow Sam Baldwin (Hanks) has his world turned upside down when his young son Jonah (Ross Malinger) calls a local Seattle radio station and declares his father "Sleepless in Seattle," and in need of a partner. Baltimorean Annie Reed (Ryan) hears the radio show and impulsively sends a letter to Sam. What follows is a genuinely heartwarming love story. Hanks and Ryan are so charming that they make you believe even the small absurdities of the plot. It's just a very sweet, sweet story.
