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

Rating:  - One Of My Favorites
I knew this film was great when my husband sat through the entire film with me and genuinely enjoyed it.
Lucy is a lonely young woman living in the big city with her pet cat. For a living, she sits in a booth day after day and collects tolls. One day, she sees a tall, dark handsome man (Peter) who seems to resemble her now dead father. She falls in love with him but he's oblivious to her.
Because Lucy lives alone, her boss gets her to work Christmas Day. Amazingly, the man of her dreams rushes by on the Holiday, drops some coins in her booth, and wishes her a merry Christmas. It happened so fast that poor Lucy never even got the chance to speak to her would-be lover. As fate would have it, though, he ends up getting mugged and is pushed onto the tracks in front of an oncoming train. Lucy bolts from her booth and jumps onto the tracks. As she lies on top of him, she rolls him and herself out of the path of the oncoming train, thus saving his life.
At the hospital, the personnel block her from going to him. As they do, she stares through the glass doors at his prone form lying on a gurney and says, "I'm going to marry him." A nearby nurse oversees what happens and hears what Lucy says.
When the family arrives, they rush into Peter's room anxious to see how he is doing. Lucy is pointed out to them and they are told that she saved Peter's life. And that's when the nurse tells everyone that Lucy is his fiance - and the fun begins.

Lucy (Sandra Bullock) is a lonely tollbooth clerk hopelessly in love with Peter (Peter Gallagher), a handsome, frequent customer whom she has never spoken to. Is it really love or is this just a passing infatuation? When he is mugged and knocked unconscious onto the railway tracks while waiting for a train she saves his life and accompanies him to the hospital. As he lies in a comatose state she meets his family and is mistakenly thought to be his fiancé. All seems to be going smoothly until she meets Peter's brother Jack (Bill Pullman).
The `95 comedy romance `While You Were Sleeping' is a charming, feel good film starring Sandra Bullock at her adorable best. The cast of quirky characters is superb, the storyline consistently entertaining and the contemporary soundtrack will put a smile on your face. However it's the sweet vulnerability of Sandra that will steal your heart and make you watch this film again and again.
Rating: - Exciting Times on the El
Well, Sandra Bullock! How can you miss? (Well, there was Miss Congeniality II). But seriously folks, this is a charming little number for XMAS. Well written, clever and witty. A bit obvious on the plot - but what the hey, it's Christmas! Buy it and enjoy it. I think you will.
Rating: - A must for any chick flick collection!
This is one of those movies that will never get old for me. It follows the same predictable pattern that most chick flick's follow, but what it lacks in originality it makes up for with likeable characters and a feeling of "realness." They actually took the time to development the characters enough that the viewer actually has a chance to care about them.
If you enjoy a good chick flick, I don't think you'll be disappointed with this one.
Rating: - Romantic
