“I'm in love with your son.”

“I know.”

“Not that one.”

Light-hearted film with a fresh Sandra Bullock. Bullock was still here at the beginning of her rom-com period, and you can understand why she would be so requested for these kinds of roles. A pleasant screen presence and enough charm to captivate both the viewer and the characters.

The story is predictable, but it's all well presented. With enough humor (especially the role of Jack Warden is strong), romance and sentiment. The ending is a bit too cliché even for a 90's romcom, but it does provide farcical entertainment.

A pretty nice romcom with an endearing Bullock, at the time, '95, especially Bullock enough reason to go to the cinema for this film.

It's not much in content. The introverted and quite lonely wallflower Bullock saves her dream man from the tracks after which she is mistaken for his fiancée due to a miscommunication and lovingly taken in by the family. It is touching and amusing to see that she does not dare to tell what it really is and that she is increasingly accepted into the family. A feeling she had long missed. Trouble then spirals out of control with Jack's arrival. Not only is there a comparison between the simple, humorous and much more sympathetic Jack against the ostentation but otherwise superficial Peter. One can guess who would suit Lucy better.

While You Were Sleeping is a fine, entertaining and touching romantic comedy with even a nice philosophical notion that being blinded by appearances and actually getting to know someone are two quite different things. Nice movie every now and then.
