This is a classic rom-com. Tom Hanks is superb as Sam, a recently widowed young father who is still grieving the wife he loved. His young son, Jonah, expertly played by Ross Malinger, decides to phone a radio show to ask for advice about his depressed dad. The conversation is heard by Annie (Meg Ryan) who is driving at the time, en route to stay with her fiance, the rather too-good-to-be-true Walter (Bill Pullman)...

There's some humour, some pathos, and a good storyline; the ending is somewhat predictable, but satisfactory nonetheless.

An enjoyable evening's light escapism.

A woman obsesses over a man she heard on the radio.

It would be a reasonable concept for a thriller - not a romantic comedy. But it's not too awful, for a Nora Ephron movie. Unlike the other Ephron movies I've seen, this one at least has characters that are nice people.
