Review: Sleepless in San Francisco by Ryan Field

Review of Sleepless in San Francisco by Ryan Field


SLEEPLESS IN SAN FRANCISCO

When Noah's father dies, it leaves his other father, Ed, in a state of grief so bad that he packs Noah up and moves to San Francisco. Once there, Ed takes on the renovation of the big house, but it's not really working for them. So Noah writes an email to the producers of a reality flipping show à la The Property Brothers, asking them to help with the house, which will in turn help Ed to sleep better.

When Jonathan shows up in San Francisco to speak to Ed and Noah about the possibility of using their home on his show, attraction blooms instantly between Ed and Jonathan. But, once the contracts are signed, the two know they can't mix business with pleasure, so must now be platonic. Uh huh...

I really could not get into Sleepless in Seattle. There's little to no character and relationship development, the chemistry between Jonathan and Ed is the only thing that keeps them together, and the bedroom scenes are weird and awkward and the vocabulary used is particularly unsexy. About the only thing I liked about this awkward, boring tale was the dog Tucker and his buddy, Noah. Too bad the story wasn't about them, then it might have been more interesting.

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
