So - it was a classic last night...Sleepless in Seattle....think Sean liked it?
Read his response below:
I feel like I should start by saying.. I'm chick-flicked out. I think if I would've watched this movie on your average Wednesday night, I would've enjoyed it more than I did. For the 2nd night in a row, we have a man who has lost his wife...and he (or at least his character) is irresistible to women. Do women like men who are grief stricken? Do women like men who they feel sorry for? Or is it that the emotional vulnerability that goes along with losing a spouse? There's even an episode of Seinfeld about this.. Jerry does a sociological experiment and pretends to be a widower? And guess what.. he, again is irresistible to women.. what gives? I don't have the answer, but I sure do have lots of questions...

I just have to comment because I say the same thing about all the books and movies where the Mom dies or has died. I think it gives the reader/viewer instant empathy. It is interesting isn't it?
