While You Were Sleeping
A transit worker pulls commuter Peter off railway tracks after he's mugged, but—while he's in a coma—his family mistakenly thinks she's Peter's fiancée, and she doesn't correct them. Things get more complicated when she falls for his brother, who's not quite sure that she's who she claims to be.

[2.5/10] *While You Were Sleeping* has problems. Its plot is straight up insane. Its comedy is broader than the Chicago River. All of its characters are either psychopaths or cartoon characters. Every major plot point requires some tremendous coincidence or misunderstanding to make sense. And for so More

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. More
