Memorable, crazy movie

Crappy film

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

It's a screw-ball romantic comedy worthy of all of the heritage of the genre.Having said that, it's also a pleasant antidote to war porn masquerading as "high art" and to actual porn, because it's a wonderful reflection on the importance of kindness in the world.Sandra Bullock is delightful, 'natch. Bill Pullman is enchanting, and Peter Gallagher is... engaging... as a man in a coma.Watch this is you just want to find a speck of decency in a scary world.

While You Were SleepingThe best time to pull the plug on a coma patient is right before their medical insurance runs out.Fortunately, the vegetable in this romantic-comedy has an excellent health benefits package.Feigning an affiliation with a comatose passenger, Peter (Peter Gallagher), who was attacked on the L train, transit employee Lucy (Sandra Bullock) maintains this pretext when his family (Peter Boyle, Monica Keena, Glynis Johns) arrives at the hospital.However, her scheme goes awry when she starts falling for Peter's younger brother Jack (Bill Pullman). Things get even more complicated when Peter wakes up and doesn't recognize her as his fiancée.While its plot is highly unorthodox - bordering on creepy – and its starry-eyed clichés are palpable, Bullock's girl-next-door demeanor does manage to transform this stalker-esque love story into a charming little rom-com about excessive lying.Incidentally, to payoff medical expenses, coma victims can always moonlight as mattress store mannequins.Yellow Lightvidiotreviews.blogspot.ca

I adore this movie, it's easily one of my favourites. Another reviewer said that the best time to watch it is in the winter, and whilst I'm happy to watch it any time of the year, I would agree that it seems all the more magical when it's freezing cold outside, and you're snuggled under a blanket.I'm glad no other actors were given any of the roles in this film, it wouldn't have been the same. Sandra is adorable as Lucy. She has no sinister intent, she's just swept up in the commotion and in the end, falls in love with the whole family. Her speech toward the end chokes me up so much, it's completely heartfelt. Bill Pullman also shines, he falls for her gradually and their chemistry is so lovely to watch. If you want a gentle, unbelievably romantic film to watch on a cold evening, this is the one for you.

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!
