Product Description
A Chicago subway worker named Lucy is in love with a handsome stranger, until the day he is mugged and falls into a coma. After his family mistakes Lucy for his fiancee', she fabricates a life between herself and a man she has never met. Then she falls in love with his brother and is forced to choose.

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 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. --Jeff Shannon

Some reviewers/commentators (not all on Amazon, by any means) have taken this movie to task for having a lead character who is at best dishonest and at worst practically a psycho.
As if they knew what they'd do if thrown into a situation of this sort. Granted, in real life that's so unlikely as to be effectively impossible, but I still dare them to imagine they wouldn't get mentally and emotionally knocked for a loop when events rush up and overwhelm the parameters of their lives like this.
At any rate, the fun is in how Lucy and the Callaghan's - who owe Lucy BIG TIME, never mind the misunderstandings - become family. That's not to say the the romance isn't an enjoyable one - Bullock and Pullman are a very winning couple - with a nice payoff that ties several motifs neatly together. But even the very last line brings the point delightfully home about what Lucy has truly received. Not many romantic comedies go for this sort of thing, let alone with such gleeful warmth and spirit, but that is, in the end, its unassuming triumph.
