Sleepless Over You

Sleepless Over You

Utterly charmed ❤️❤️ against my will and while I wasn't looking.It you've seen Sleepless in Seattle this is that but nicely updated to now and transplanted to NYC and Long Island. The adaptation is smartly done, not a slavish beat for beat retread, and [a:Sydney Smyth 18606199 Sydney Smyth https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png] has a keen ear for current social mores. The story is as much about family and familial relationships as it is about Matt and Hugo but rest assured that it's very much a love story between these two. An almost preordained magical one.

His American voices are a bit wobbly, he tends to make them all sound a bit southern which doesn't match any of these characters. Thankfully Teddy does the majority of the narrating and Robbie is not tasked with doing too many Americans.
