Really good watch, would watch again, and can recommend.

This feels like a classic watch, like a movie that started a trope...but I can't think of a single other movie that did what this movie does. Sure there are movies about comas, amnesia, lying, but they don't do it in the same way, and I honestly believe it's because this movie did it so well that no one wants to risk copying it and do worse.

This is also a great example of good situational comedy without bleeding over into abuse humor: at no point is she "suffering", she's not attacked, or wronged, but she's in a difficult situatio... read the rest.

Insanely cheesy and overtly sentimental... yet, I kinda like 'While You Were Sleeping'.

Sandra Bullock is probably the main reason for the latter, as she gives a near perfect performance for this sorta role. The rest of the cast are good too, from Bill Pullman to Peter Gallagher to Jason Bernard. The story is paced finely, it's really just the strong cheese that brings the rating down for me. Still: 7/10.

It's the sixth Jon Turteltaub film that I've seen: I'd class each one as good. Reliable director!

While You Were Sleeping is about more than just romance. It’s about finding family and, in this case, an adorable but crazy and entertaining family.

While You Were Sleeping is a heartwarming romantic comedy with the lead falling in love with a quirky but sincere family as much as their charming son. The script isn’t perfect, with a couple of cliche and stereotypical rom-com moments, but the cast of goofy but not completely outrageous characters keep you engaged and want to see more of their antics. Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman are a fun couple to watch and laugh with, and the whole pr... read the rest.

A good and really funny romantic comedy.

I don't consider myself a fan of romantic comedies, so I feel free to talk about them with complete dismay. And what I want to say about this romantic comedy is that it manages to be much better than we might expect at first glance.

In fact, this film manages to associate an excellent lead actress with a good story, full of comic moments. It all starts with a platonic passion that a young woman feels when she sees a man going to work every day. One day, she ends up saving his life, and a succession of misconceptions ends up making his family be... read the rest.

Sandra Bullock does almost all of the heaving lifting in this engaging, if slightly far-fetched love story. She works in the token booth at her local Chicago train station where every morning she sees that cashmere-coated "Peter" (Peter Gallagher). She's got a bit of a crush on him, but after he gets accosted by some muggers on the platform and knocked onto the track she is more concerned that he will end up getting crushed by the 7.45 express! She manages to drag him to safety and next thing we are in the hospital, he has amnesia and she has allowed a scenario to develop where everyone things... read the rest.
