While You Were Sleeping is one of the sweetest movies I have ever seen. This movie is entirely based on a series of misunderstandings and hilarious situations. The movie features an all star cast including Sandra Bullock, Bill Pullman, Peter Gallagher, Peter Boyle, and Jack Warden. Everyone was amazing in this film. I even liked Michael Rispoli as Joey Fusco Jr.
Lucy Eleanor Moderatz, played by Sandra Bullock, is a Chicago transit tollbooth worker. What Lucy most wants out of her life is a stamp in her passport and a reason to not work every holiday. She is also hopelessly besotted with daily commuter, Peter Callaghan, played by Peter Gallagher, whom she has never met.
Peter is a charming schmuck, but Lucy doesn't know this. One day after flashing his perfect white smile in her direction Peter gets mugged on the platform for the L train and falls onto the train tracks. Lucy saves him from certain death and follows him to the hospital.
There a nurse overhears Lucy dreaming aloud to herself and misinterprets. Lucy is ushered in to see Peter, but he is in a coma. Minutes later his family bustles in and the nurse introduces Lucy to them as Peter's fiancée. Oh boy! Now the fun starts!
Well you can imagine. The mother and father are hysterical in these moments. I love Peter Boyle as Ox Callaghan. Saul, the beloved sort of godfather, played by Jack Warden is a hoot and the grandmother Elsie played by Glynis Johns will leave you in stitches. Elsie sort of reminds me of Grandma Mazur in the Stephanie Plum novels, just crazy in a different way.
As the story spins out Bill Pullman playing as Peter's brother Jack is suspicious of Lucy. She is not his brother's type. Surprisingly both find themselves drawn to each other. Jack gets possessive and there's this whole scene about "The Lean." Loved it! But they're not supposed to be with one another as Lucy is Peter's fiancée. Jack has a great scene with Peter in the hospital while Peter is still in his coma. Poor Jack!
Anyway the fun is watching Lucy navigate her way through muddy waters. She loves the Callaghan family and doesn't want to give them up and if she comes clean about who she it they won't want her anymore... not even Jack. Or so she thinks. Feel good fluff!

Keira's favorite type of heroes are blind, scarred, and tortured... yes, she understands those should be separate, but all 3 at once is also nice! She enjoys historical romances best and adores audio books because great narrators turn books into auditory/mental movies (and she loves her romantic dramas like Pride and Prejudice/North and South!)

This is one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. I’ve watched it a hundred times and it never gets old. Lucy is so sweet and Jack is one of the greatest guys ever. But the grandma stole every scene she was in! “Look on the bright side. He’s got more room in his jockey shorts.” LOL!!!
I love her! That was probably her best line too!
