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

- Relax and Enjoy
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 ...
