| DVD Description 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 |

A Pleasure to View Over and Over Again My wife has had this movie on VHS for a long time, so I knew that she would enjoy receiving the DVD as an anniversary gift. Though I'm not one to watch many movies, I thoroughly enjoy this one. "Lucy" innocently gets herself involved in a situation that she tries, at first without success, to get out of. Eventually, she doesn't want to let go of the unusual circumstances and in a completely unexpected way finds the true love of her life. Very creative writing and a pleasure to watch again and again.
Three Facts Chick Flicks fall into three categories for me: 1.Too much fun to care if it's a C.F. (think Four Weddings and a Funeral). 2. Not entirely painful, with a few cute moments ( like While You Were Sleeping). 3. Please, just shoot me! Now I'll give you three facts to help you decide if you want to invest an hour and a half of your life.
1. This movie is rated PG.
2.This movie is scored with "sappy elevator elevator music"- no discernable instruments involved.
3. Siskel and Ebert, who gave this movie "two thumbs up", are from Chicago where the movie was filmed.
While You Were Sleeping This is a cute girl movie but I think guys could like it too. It's kind of sappy and funny but enjoyable. There's no foul language or people killing each other or jumping in and out of bed which seems to make up most movies these days. I've seen the movie several times and still enjoy watching it. |
