Summary: Oh, What a tangled web we weave!
Review: I love this. It demonstrates just what a tangled web we can weave, by letting our real and imaginary lives collide, if only for a moment.

Yes, this is a chick film. Send the guys out, and enjoy this by yourself, or with a girlfriend or two. Sit and drink a hot tea, or a hot cocoa, and get lost in the crazy mixed up life of Lucy Eleanor Moderatz, played by Sandra Bullock. She plays this with her usual great comedic timing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: not many better
Review: Not too many movies can top this one. It is the perfect blend of comedy, drama, and romance. Bill Pullman and Sandra Bullock both give top notch performances. It is clean too--rated PG. Excellent choice for just about anyone!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Romance that even a man will like...
Review: When this movie came out years ago, my wife went with a group of girlfriends to see it, mostly because all of us husbands refused to go. Well, one husband (proudfully not me) caved in and went with his wife for her second viewing since she liked it so much. Well, soon afterwards, we had all seen the movie and we, the men , hesitantly agreed that it was a really enjoyable movie.

It has humor, sentimental characters, and for me, most importantly, genuiness. Sandra B. does an incredible job in not overacting and being terrifically believable as young Lucy who is just looking for love. Her speech at the wedding when explaining the why of the whole charade makes me cry every time.

I'm really glad that I have the DVD, just for the picture and the durability of the format. It is SO sad that a better edition of the film has not been put out, since the bonus features are almost insultingly called that. That's the reason I give the DVD 4 stars, but the movie is a big 5+ stars!

Summary: My favorite
Review: I fell in love with this movie the first time I saw it. I wish they'd make movies like this more often. If you are a romatic, this movie is for you. I love it. I've probably seen it at least 10 times.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pullman + Bullock = An unforgettable on-screen chemistry
Review: I can't think of any other actress who can play the starring role of Lucy better than Sandra Bullock. The character seemed to be made just for her. In the movie, Lucy is portrayed as a shy and lonely girl, but Bullock added so much more personality to the character that amused the audience and made them sympathize and fall in love with her. The fact that she has such big dreams adds a touch of childlike innocence, but later on in the movie, she makes a big decision that would change the course of events and show that she also has courage. If Bullock was enchanting in the film, Bill Pullman, playing Jack Callaghan, was equally mesmerizing. Pullman's little smiles and intense looks are enough to make just about any girl weak in the knees. Add that to his vulnerability when he fell in love with Lucy, and you get the perfect romantic comedy. This movie never fails to cheer me up and put me in a romantic mood. Its charm and subtle humour is just perfect for a quiet evening at home.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not a snoozer!
Review: This movie is charming. Sandra Bullock gives an endearing, sincere, and fun performance as a woman who falls for a guy she doesn't even know and accidentally leads his family to believe she's his girlfriend while he's in a coma. Sound nuts? It is. But it's still charming. Pullman is not exactly a stud muffin, but his shy charm manages to win the audience's heart ... and Sandra's. This is one of Sandra's better choices.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Cute and Funny
Review: I think this is one of the romance classics. It's cute and funny.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Classic
Review: This is such a totally fun movie every time you watch it.Lucy lets the family of a man in a coma think she is his fiance even though they have never met.I feel sorry for the fella because he copped it at every turn.When he came to,he was told he had amnesia because he didn't recognize Lucy,then his uncle walks in and says,"You're a scmuck."for no particular reason,then when he was getting married and he asked his brother,"How do I look?" the answer was,"You suck."!!!!!Anyway,see if Lucy ends up with this poor hapless man,or his brother who she is also developing feelings for.Shes strange

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Really Nice Film
Review: The "girl next door" is just that in this really fine film with Sandra Bullock. It has all the kinds of twists and turns which make it enjoyable. Girl falls in love with guy, guy doesn't know it, his brother falls in love with the girl, and on and on it goes. What I liked the best in this film was the absence of any overt nudity and profanity, which made it even more enjoyable. Recommended.
