That was an excellent one.

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This is my absolute No.1 favourite feel good film of all time about a lonely girl who lives with her pretty little pet cat.Lucy is single, has no siblings & has parents who've passed away. She lives alone with her cat, works holidays & feels a wee bit lonely around Christmas while decorating her Christmas tree. She passes her time thinking about her dad,eating dinner with her cat,negotiating with her boss, attending Christmas parties , being set up by her downstairs neighbour-cum-landlord with his cocky,mouth-breather of a son ( the very sweet , Joe Fusco Jr. ) & secretly mooning after daily train commuter, the well dressed ,rich Peter Callaghan from her token booth.Things change for Lucy on Christmas when she saves Peter from the train tracks on which he's fallen. At the hospital ,Peter is in a coma & she's mistaken as his fiancee. Before she can clarify, she is enveloped by Peter's loving, talkative family & she succumbs reluctantly at first & later willingly ,to the warm embrace of being part of a large,quirky family once again- a farce she carries on partly at Sauls ( Peter's godfather ) behest & mostly because of her emotional connection with not just the family, but to Peters brother, Jack ( Bill Pullman ) - who is at first,suspicious of Lucy supposedly being his polished,urbane brother's ,scruffy girlfriend ; but finds himself drawn to her & gets familiar with her quirks ( about florence, her unstamped passport etc ) & quietly falls in love with her.Its all smooth sailing after that, till Lucy & Peters wedding date is finalized when Peter wakes up from his coma & believes he has amnesia. Jack refuses to acknowledge his feelings for Lucy,believing her to be his brothers intended , putting Lucy in a fix. Whom does Lucy marry to end her lonely existence & who finally takes her to Florence, fulfilling her dreams ?A slow paced, pleasant ,romantic comedy. 9/10.

After her father dies "Lucy" (Sandra Bullock) is left all alone with no family and nobody to share her life with. So day after day she goes to work for the Chicago Transit Authority and collects tokens in a small booth while everybody else go about their busy lives. Then one day she sees a handsome young man who helps old ladies get on the subway train and she falls head-over-heels in love with him. The only problem is that she doesn't know his name and he doesn't even know she exists. That changes when he is pushed onto one of the tracks and Lucy manages to drag his unconscious body off of the rails just before an oncoming train goes rushing by. Worried about his health Lucy then goes to the hospital but is told that since she is not part of the family that she cannot see him. However, during the confusion she is introduced as the young man's fiancé and since he is in a coma nobody is able to dispute the fact. So the family welcomes her as one of their own. But things don't exactly work out like Lucy and everyone else expect. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was a cut romantic-comedy which should appeal to most fans of the genre. Likewise, those who like Sandra Bullock will probably have no reason to dislike this movie either. In any case, I enjoyed this film for the most part and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.

but I am in love with the movie.I'm kicking myself for watching this movie just recently. I was quite young when this movie was first released but that is not an excuse for overseeing this movie for so long. I am so glad I watched it. And I'm going to keep watching it over and over...I am a sucker for romantic comedies and a lot of them are disappointing. It's very rare to fall in love with a movie, and 'while you were sleeping' has that effect on me. The key to the Lucy and Jack's romance is chemistry, and boy did they have chemistry. The element to a great story, whether it is reading or watching is to show not tell. And that's what exactly what it was. The looks that you see Jack and Lucy give each other, their body language, the deep conversations they have, the way he describes her, and how she's head over heels for him. The tension they create when put together wasn't anything sexual; it was something much, much deeper. Something that will last a lifetime. The other key factors to this movie are the Callaghans and Saul, and everyone else. They bring out the comedy side to the movie. They are a hilarious bunch, and are not a tad annoying, not even the real fiancée or Peter; just really, really funny and fun to be with.Put two and two together, and they have formulated an almost perfect Romantic Comedy. (I am going to say almost, because nothing in this world is perfect)Now Bill Pullman—that's a different topic!

A ticket-collecting romantic (Sandra Bullock) pretends to be engaged to an unconscious man (Peter Gallagher) but cannot fool his brother (Bill Pullman).Romantic comedies are judged pretty harshly. And they probably should be, as they are generally sentimental, unrealistic fluff. But this is one of those rare good ones. Is it sentimental? Yes. Unrealistic? Yes. Fluff? Yes. But it really cemented Sandra Bullock as America's Sweetheart, and may be her finest role. Well, this and "Speed". She is going as strong as ever twenty years later, and it should be no surprise.Peter Gallagher is a bit off, but Bill Pullman really succeeds as a romantic interest. Odd, but he does it. And the supporting cast is excellent, from Peter Boyle to... well, everyone.
