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. iWhile You Were Sleeping/i was the first starring role for Sandra Bullock after her blockbuster success in iSpeed/i. 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 fiancee, 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. i--Jeff Shannon/i

Si vous etes d'humeur sentimentale, cette comedie romantique pourra vous seduire. Dans Il'Amour a tout prix/I, Sandra Bullock tient le role principal et change radicalement de registre apres l'enorme succes de ISpeed/I. Le film repose entierement sur ses epaules. Caissiere pour la compagnie de transport de Chicago, Lucy Eleanor Moderatz tombe amoureuse d'un voyageur (Peter Gallagher) et le sauve de la mort, lorsqu'il est attaque et jete sur les voies. Profitant de son coma, elle fait croire a la famille du blesse qu'elle est sa fiancee. Seul probleme : elle est irresistiblement attiree par le frere de Peter (Bill Pullman). Et cette attirance est manifestement reciproque. La maniere dont Lucy se sort de cette situation amoureuse rend ce film bien moins previsible que les ingredients familiaux ne pouvaient le laisser supposer. Un film leger, aux personnages sympathiques et a l'interpretation sans defauts, qui donne immanquablement le sourire. I--Jeff Shannon/I

 A very heart warming movie! September 19, 2006
Petra Mehner (Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada)
I really enjoy watching this movie especially around Christmas time and New Years. It really gets me into the spirit of things. Yes, it's one of those feel good movies that puts a warm glow around your heart. The characters are well played, the storyline is simple but sweet, and I love the humour used as they each deal with their own problems and perspectives about life. And, she does get the guy in the end, well, at least his brother! Which just shows that you should approach love with an open mind, because you may find it in the most unexpected places.
 SWEET MOVIE!! July 10, 2004

While You Were Sleeping is endearingly sweet and laugh-out-loud funny. Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman, the romantic leads, are excellently cast and have an even more excellent chemistry between each other. This movie will have you awwwing at the love between Lucy and Jack, and laughing at the family and situation. Highlight to look out for is the icy sidewalk scene- very very well done!! This movie is also very appropriate. In all, great movie, a little predictable but cute!
Sweet but not (too) overdone June 18, 2004

While You Were Sleeping represents the pinnacle in chick flicks. Girls, you already know what I'm talking about. But guys, if you're looking to score with the ladies as a sensitive, caring man, watch this movie with your girl. It's guaranteed to promote feelings of goodwill, kindness, and heartfelt gratitude on their part.pLike virtually all those movies in this genre, Sleeping one doesn't really deserve a review for its dramatic value. The entire plot hinges on a few engineered coincidences while the story, cute and engaging, wins no awards for its daring portrayal of real life. But as I said before, that's not what we're looking for. Lucy, a sweet, lonely young thing who works in a Chicago tollbooth, is ably played by Sandra Bullock. The love of her life, to whom she has never spoken, is Peter Callahan, a rich young playboy who rides the train to and from work every day. It all comes to head when his not so understanding friends push him into the tracks, necessitating his resuce (by Lucy, of course) and his subsequent move to the hospital. Here's where it gets interesting--Peter's family rushes in and in the confusion mistakes Lucy for Peter's fiance. Hilarity ensues as virtually all the family welcomes her with open arms without any idea of the mistake. It's only the younger son, Jack (Bill Pullman), who is suspicious, and in his search for the truth finds more than he bargined for.pThe power of the movie is found in its two stars. Tension between Sandra Bullock (in her signature role, to be reprised in countless movies afterwards) and Bill Pullman are palpable, moving the silly plot along with their realisic chemistry. In the end, While You Were Sleeping is a lovely story about family, friends and love, and I highly reccommend it for anyone who needs a pick-me-up and have already seen Amelie.

Lucy[sandra bullock], see A man peter[peter gallagher] again even though i don't think she even knows him, she fancies him. He is pushed onto a train track, she saves him by moving him away before he gets killed. Peter is in a comber, and all his relatives think that she is his fiancee. Peters brother jack meets her and while he is still in hospital, they both fall in love, but when peter is finally out of hospital, he wants her too. WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING, EVERYTHING WENT ON WHEN HE WAS IN THAT HOSPITAL BED.
Gentle seduction, in spite of schmaltzy plot April 13, 2004

Well, it all depends on your taste in movies and your mood at the time - and whether or not you're enamored of Sandra Bullock. If you enjoy the occasional romantic chick flick, if you're in the mood to watch something upbeat that's not too deep, and if you think Sandra Bullock is just fine, thank you very much, then this is the movie for you.brWhile You Were Sleeping was Bullock's first starring role after her blockbuster success in Speed, and it does a good job of showcasing her wide appeal to viewing audiences. She captures our support, trust, and interest from the very beginning, playing a Chicago tollbooth ticket-taker who has a 'thing' for a commuter guy she sees go thru her turnstile daily. Then he's mugged, she saves him, and somehow allows her family to believe that she's his fiancee - and then, the plot thickens. At the bedside of this unconscious guy, she meets his brother - and she falls even harder for him.brOkay, that's enuf: watch the rest of it yourself. Just be on the lookout for the scent where they're walking on an icy sidewalk - it's just awfully well done, as is the rest of the movie.br...but only if you like this sort of thing! I sure did.
