Sleepless in Seattle, the starry-eyed, bi-coastal love story written and directed by Nora Ephron in 1993, is a strange bird. It's the story of two people who have never met but who are destined to fall in love-finally drawn together, cross-continentally, by a collection of disparate forces, some cosmic, some synthetic. It is a movie designed to be charming (due to the presence of such universally charming elements as houseboats, twinkle lights, Rob Reiner giving dating advice, women crying hysterically while watching An Affair to Remember, and a soundtrack chock-full of Jimmy Durante). But, twenty-six years after its release, the consensus on Sleepless in Seattle is that it is not so charming, after all.
