Product Description
WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING
Amazon.com
If you don't mind a heavy dose of schmaltz and sentiment, this romantic comedy has a gentle way of seducing you with its charms. While You Were Sleeping was the first starring role for Sandra Bullock after her blockbuster success in Speed. In a role that nicely emphasizes her easygoing appeal, Bullock is the reason the movie works at all. She plays Lucy Eleanor Moderatz, a Chicago Transit tollbooth clerk who's hopelessly smitten with a daily commuter, Peter Callaghan (Peter Gallagher). She saves the object of her affection from certain death after he's mugged and falls onto the train tracks. While Peter is in a coma, she lets his family believe that she is his fiancée, and surprisingly finds herself drawn to his brother (Bill Pullman), for whom the attraction is definitely mutual. How Lucy gets out of this amorous predicament is what makes this pleasant movie less predictable than its familiar ingredients would initially indicate. It's feel-good fluff, with characters and performances that keep you smiling through the drippy plot mechanics. --Jeff Shannon

Gwendolyn Tappenden (ROCHESTER, NY, US)
Really liked the movie. The supporting cast was wonderful. This DVD lacked
background information that I love to see such as casting and production
information. Not critically acclaimed, but I enjoy seeing it over and over
as the message is timeless.
 What a lovely movie! May 2, 2010

M. E. Snipes (Denver, CO)
An all-time favorite by Sandra Bullock, it just never gets old and finding it on DVD at a reasonable price was exceptional. Fully developed characters and a heartwarming performance by Peter Boyle. You can believe the lonely Chicago Elevated cashier with a dream of travel and a big heart can actually fall into the arms of a loving family at Christmas.

Lucy is a happy-go-lucky ticket seller, until one day she finds the man of her dreams and also sees him get mugged. After being mugged the man, known as Peter, goes into a coma. Lucy goes to visit him at the hospital and the nurse tells Peter's family that Lucy is his fiancée'. Lucy can not get the courage to tell them the truth and his family take her in as a member of their family. While with this family Lucy falls head over heels in love with Peter's brother, Jack. Lucy does not know what to do when Peter comes out of a coma and doesn't remember her. A great romantic comedy that is so pure and well-made that it is near impossible to say anything negative about it. It is not a perfect movie, but it is a very likeable movie that delivers what it promises. Sweet, charming, hilarious, and heartwarming romantic comedy.
