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 |

Glynis Johns |
WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING is one of my favorite DVD movies to enjoy again every Christmas holiday season. It has a stellar cast of characters, one of my favorites being Glynis Johns who plays the grandmother. Remember her as Mrs. Banks in MARY POPPINS?

Put a smile on your holiday season |

This is one of my favorite movies. It's not complicated, and I don't think it's full of deep, existential meaning (or maybe I'm just not looking for it), but it is sweet and fun to watch and is sure to make me and my teenage daughters smile every time. |

Engaging story, without being sappy! |
I don't know if most men shy away from romantic comedies or not. But my husband likes both Bill Pullman and Sandra Bullock so he'll watch this with me from time to time. One of my favorites of the genre. And certainly worth a few laughs.
