Why watch this? Can someone find true love a second time in one lifetime?

Plot Summary: After his wife passes away, a grieving Seattle architect reluctantly opens up about his loneliness on a national radio talk show, prompted by his young son's concern. A Baltimore-based journalist, engaged to someone else, hears the broadcast and becomes convinced she is meant to be with him despite having never met.

Dad's Preview: It was a good idea to pair Hanks and Ryan, then turn Nora Ephron loose with them - they are so completely adorable. This was a "gap" film for the comedian Hanks as he was transforming into a more serious roles. And Meg Ryan, her face was designed to look weepy. This tear-jerkin', chick-flicky, romantic comedy will leave you grasping for tissues, since it's complicated with death, distance and a step-child. If you are a he-man, like me, just bite the bullet, make a fire, and put this on for you and your special someone.
