Hanging Up/Sleepless in Seattle Reviews

---

Sleepless isnt so sleepless, hanging up should have hung up
I found that Sleepless in Seattle is original, well written and funny. Hanging Up was similar comedy but way more worse than Sleepless in Seattle. My advice is: buy Sleepless In Seattle Special Edition, forget Hanging Up. It's not worth it buying one good movie and one terrible one.

1 hit + 1 flop = a poor choice for a double feature!
Why only 2 stars?? 5 stars for Sleepless in Seattle. -1 star for whoever chose to pair it on a double feature release with "Hanging Up". -2 stars for "Hanging Up".

I think they missed the boat on this one. "Sleepless In Seattle" was a fun romantic comedy, and being a classic movie buff, I really loved how they tied in the scenes and story from "An Affair To Remember". After the wonderful performances by Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks, I was certainly eager to see Nora Ephron bring them together again in "You've Got Mail"; a sweet, modernized remake of the original "The Shop Around The Corner". Granted, it didn't do as good as "Sleepless", but it sure beat "Hanging Up"! So why didn't they feature "Mail" as the second feature? Let's see.... same lead actors, same director, both parallel previously made films, both did pretty well at the box office... I guess it wasn't obvious enough.

So, unfortuantely they chose to pair "Sleepless In Seattle" with the box office flop "Hanging Up" for this double feature. Just surf over to the reviews for "Hanging Up" and you'll probably ask the same question. Why?

My guess is that they threw these two movies together to bank on the continued success of "Sleepless In Seattle" in an attempt to make up for the financial loss that was suffered on "Hanging Up". But seriously, if you're looking to add a little romantic comedy to your movie collection, save some bucks and buy "Sleepless in Seattle" separately. "Hanging Up" is worth hanging up on! If you really want to see what you're not missing, spend a few bucks and rent it instead.
