Plot Summary This film is a romantic comedy about Sam Baldwin and Annie Reed, two people who have never really met each other. Sam is a nice young architect whose wife dies of cancer, who decides to move from Chicago to Seattle in order to start a new life with his son. He decides to change cities because everything in Chicago reminds him of his wife, and he hopes moving to Seattle will end his depression. It doesn’t really, and thus Jonah, Sam’s sweet eight year old son, decides to do what he can to find his dad a new wife and himself a new mom. One day, Jonah phones a national radio call-in show to tell the world that his father needs a new wife, and Sam suddenly finds himself talking to millions of people, mostly women. One of those women is Annie, a very cute and reasonably happy young writer in Baltimore, who is engaged to get married to Walter. Walter himself is a nice guy, but Annie is frustrated because she is not madly in love with him, and after hearing Sam and Jonah, she starts to think that Sam is the man that she should truly be with. After Annie sees what she thinks are a variety of "signs" that she and Sam are meant to be together, she soon decides to do everything she can to meet him (even though he lives on the other side of the country). Ultimately, this is a sweet little movie about the nature of life in general, and whether the things that happen to us are because of what some people call destiny, or simply a series of events with no particular cause. Some Words and Expressions that You May not Know Sam and Jonah begin a new life in Seattle after the death of Sam’s wife, and in Baltimore, Annie prepares for a life with Walter.
