But he also has a bad role model quality by flying off to New York City by himself against his dads wishes and without even letting his dad know. He is good as he is constantly looking out for his dad's best interest, after all that is really what sets the whole story in motion to begin with. Additionally Hanks' son shows some signs of being a good and bad role model.

WAS JOAN CUSACK IN SLEEPLESS IN SEATLE MOVIE
On the reverse side however this movie has two of the most likeable characters in a romantic movie and even though the ending may be predictable it is exactly what we are rooting for. I only counted one g-n" and two "s-s" which is totally acceptable for the PG rating but more of the talks of sex and implied pre-marital sex make this inappropriate for anyone under 12. Even though they are both fully clothed, this movie sends a message that it is ok to sleep with your significant other before marriage. There is also mention of an orgasm in an excerpt from a radio program, and although there is no sexual intercourse Meg Ryan and her fiancee played by Bill Pullman are seen in bed together. Hanks later remarks how he got "laid 7 or 8 times in college" unaware his son has walked in the room and can hear what he said. Additionally Hanks' son calls a woman he is dating a "ho" and although it is rather innocently said he repeats the phrase a few times and later on Meg Ryan's character makes the same comment. There is some talk about sex including Tom Hanks' son asking him if he wants a wife to have sex with her and will she "scratch his back." When Hanks asks his son where he heard it, he mentioned one of his friends had cable, and that is where he picked it up from.

However with that being said there are some iffy things in this movie that almost come close to pushing the limits of the PG rating. Re-watched this the other night for the first time in years and it was my girlfriend's first time seeing it. In an earlier scene, Jonah asks about his father having sex when Sam asks how Jonah knows about sex, he mentions how a friend has cable.


In a moment of anger and frustration, Sam the father tells his son that the reason he's trying to date a woman he's not very interested is because, "I'm getting laid." He then talks of how he has slept with eight women his entire life. There is some open talk of sex between the father and the young boy. Families in the early stages of grieving the death of a loved one in the family should avoid this movie, as it centers on a man whose wife passed young to cancer, and he's still trying to cope from day to day. Parents need to know that Sleepless in Seattle is an Oscar-nominated 1993 romantic "dramedy" about a widower whose son calls a relationship-centered talk show to help him find love.
