While You Were Sleeping Movie Synopsis
When a man (Gallagher) falls onto the train tracks and gets knocked out, a ticket collector (Bullock), who has a crush on him, saves his life. Later, in the hospital, his family mistakenly believes she is his fiancée, and not knowing how to tell them the truth, she plays along.
Loved every minute of it, watch it everytime I find it on TV. I fell in love with all the charactors, everyone should have a family like that, I even pretend Jack and Lucy had twins.
As a romance and good humour, think the plot is great, the actors were brilliant (convincing...). THe kind of movie that one could watch over and over again... Heart warming, humurous and absolutely romantic...
This film, while high in "cheese" factor, is worthwhile nevertheless. The plot and dialogue are not particularly profound, but the film is great because of other factors: the chemistry between Sandra Bullock (charming as ever) and Bill Pullman, the hilarity of the Callaghan family as an ensemble, the performance of "Joe Jr" and so much more. So, despite how sappy and predictable, I really enjoyed this film, and have continued to watch it years later.
