Summary: Looks can be deceiving
Review: Funny how you can get a crush on someone based on looks. Lucy (Sandra Bullock) fantasizes about such a someone that she sees daily through her job at the subway station. When she happens to save his (Peter's) life, she meets, falls in love with his family, but most importantly his brother Jack. Unfortunately, Peter is in a comma and his family thinks Lucy and Peter are engaged. Upon his coming out of his comma, we learn that Mr. Handsome was not "all that" and definitely not Lucy's match in Heaven.

It is a cute and funny love story with Sandra Bullock at her best.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the Very Best Romantic Comedies.
Review: "While You Were Sleeping" quite simply is one of the very best romantic comedies ever made. While a solid cast including Sandra Bullock, Bill Pullman, Peter Gallagher, and Peter Boyle (Everybody Loves Raymond).

It is the story of Lucy Moderatz (Bullock) who plays a token seller for Chicago Transit Authority. While on the job, she becomes an admirer of the highly successful Peter Callaghan (Gallagher). She is eventually is his rescuer in a mugging and mistaken for his fiance. The fun really begins when Lucy and Peter's brother Jack Callaghan (Pullman) start developing an interest in one another.

The screenplay is cleverly written and downright hiliarious. I really think this is the best movie both Bullock and Pullman have ever made. I'm surprised they have not done other projects together since they seem to have good chemistry between one another. You would be remiss if you didn't see this recent classic.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Romantic Comedy that Gives You a Warm and Fuzzy Feeling
Review: Sandra Bullock has a natural way of acting that makes you wonder whether she is as she comes across on the screen. You can discern her character from "Speed" in this movie, albeit a more relaxed version of that character. It's Sandra's charm that will entrance a viewer and give you a warm and fuzzy feeling by the end of the movie.

Lucy Moderatz (Bullock) is alone and lonely, aggravated by her job as a token taker for the Chicago Transit system. Her father passed away the previous year, she has no close friends, and her mother passed away many years earlier. Each morning a handsome and somewhat debonair man stops by her window. Lucy is in love with him in her mind, but he never talks to her, and it is not likely that he will.

On another lonely Christmas Day Lucy is stuck working while all her co-workers are at home with their families. The debonair gentleman comes to her window and wishes her a Merry Christmas, and suddenly Lucy finds herself at a total loss for words. As Lucy is berating herself for her sudden lack of verbal skill, the handsome man is accosted by two thugs who attempt to rob him. In the course of the robbery, the man is shoved onto the railroad tracks, where a train is imminent.

Lucy rushes out of her cage as the thugs run away, jumps down onto the tracks, and pulls the man off the rails just as a train rushes over the spot where he was lying but moments before. Concerned for the man's welfare, Lucy follows him to the hospital, where a nurse overhears Lucy muttering to herself, and believes Lucy to be the man's fiancé. Suddenly Lucy is in the middle of a big, friendly family. The handsome man is Peter Callaghan, played by Peter Gallagher, an attorney.

Lucy loves being part of the family, and they quickly grow to love her. However, Lucy soon meets Jack Callaghan, Peter's brother, played by Bill Pullman, and Lucy grows to love Bill. Of course, we know that eventually Peter must wake up, and Lucy must be found out. The events that take us from the accident to the end of the movie are sometimes predictable, but Sandra and Bill carry the movie with their natural and mellow relationship.

While Sandra and Bill are the main characters, there are quite a few other actors that add spice to this movie, most particularly Jack Warden, but also Peter Boyle, Glynis Johns, and Michael Rispoli as Lucy's landlord's son Joe Fusco, Jr., aka Joey, Jr. Michael provides an bizarre contrast as Lucy discovers him in her closet trying on a pair of her shoes, and Lucy makes mention of 900 numbers drawing a response of "How did you find out about that" from Joey, Jr.

This movie is light romantic comedy. There are a few moments of outright hilarity reminiscent of the much more dysfunctional family in "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation." Most of the humor is more laid back and feel good. By the end of the movie you want to hug Sandra Bullock (actually, throughout most of the movie too) and tell her everything is going to be all right.

This feel-good movie is perfect for Christmas and winter, and for those who want to believe in fairy tales and that good things happen to good people.

Summary: Been watching it more than 30 times!!
Review: Never get bored. Very nice story, nice soundtrack. Happy just to watch this movie!! Anyone knows where I can find the book!???

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful!
Review: "While You Were Sleeping" is the true romantic comedy. In my opinion, it is what all other romantic comedies are trying to outdo. Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman have wonderful chemistry. This is a must in the romantic comedy genre as we all can see how horrible a film can be if the leads have no chemistry ("Maid In Manhattan" is a very good example of this). I couldn't stop laughing throughout the entire film, and I think my favorite part is when she first sees Peter's (the man who's in a coma) apartment and it's filled with pictures of himself. Definatly a film worth seeing if you're a fan of Sandra Bullock, romantic comedies, or of just plain old good movies!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Watch it Again and Again
Review: Romantic comedies are a dime a dozen, but GOOD romantic comedies are hard to come by. This is a warm, romatic film that I found I can watch again and again and always get engrossed.

Sandra Bullock is adorable -- I don't know why she hasn't gotten more roles like this one. And Bill Pullman is excellent as a romantic lead! What a hunk! He's very handsome, but he has that attainable, humble quality that makes you fall in love with him.

I've read that the two leads got along great making this film and had a wonderful time. I think it shows in the final product. There's great chemistry between Pullman and Bullock.

Highly recommended.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the Best Romantic Comedies Ever!
Review: "While You Were Sleeping" is one of those feel-good films that makes you fall in love with the characters and wish you could step into the film and interact with them!

This film revolves around Lucy, a loner who lives by herself in an apartment with a cat and works every holiday because she doesn't have a family. Her father died and she barely remembers her mother. Lucy longs to be a part of family so badly. Then one day her dream comes true. Lucy works in a token booth at the Chicago subway, and everyday a handsome man named Peter comes through her booth. Lucy immediately developed a crush on him. One morning, Peter is mugged and thrown onto the tracks. Not wanting him to die because of the oncoming train, Lucy saves his life. When they get to the hospital, Lucy is mistaken for Peter's fiance and thus begins weeks of misinterpretation and mistaken identity. Lucy is immediately accepted into Peter's family where she meets his brother, Jack. Sparks immediately fly!

This is one of those movies that you curl up and watch on leisurely day. I would highly recommend this film to anyone who is a fan of romantic comedies. I think this is Sandra Bullock's best film role and performance ever! Go watch this heart-warming film! You won't be disappointed!!!!!
