LaserDisc Movie Storyline:
Lucy Moderatz, a charming but shy token seller, spends her evenings home alone with her cat and her holidays working for the Chicago Transit Authority -- she has neither family nor boyfriend to keep her company. But she does have a secret crush: sexy Peter Callaghan, a regular customer who has never even given her a second glance. One day, Peter is mugged on the subway platform and falls in front of an oncoming train. The courageous Lucy jumps down onto the tracks and pushes him to safety, but the ordeal leaves Peter in a deep coma. Lucy remains at his side in the hospital until his family arrives -- at which point a confused nurse, who misunderstood one of Lucy's comments, informs the Callaghans that Lucy is Peter's fiancee. And Lucy just can't manage to set them straight. But now she's beginning to fall in love with Peter's handsome and kind brother, Jack, and has one big problem: what will happen when Peter wakes up?

LaserDisc Movie Review:
This latter-day romantic screwball comedy stars Sandra Bullock as a love-starved subway toll booth operator, Lucy. Lucy pines for regular customer Peter Callaghan (Peter Gallagher), but the self-absorbed attorney pays her no heed. One day, Peter is beaten by a gang of thugs and tossed onto the tracks. Lucy rescues him from death. While he is comatose in the hospital, a comment she makes at his bedside is misinterpreted, and she then allows his family members, who haven't seen Peter in awhile, to believe that she is his fiance. Peter's parents, Ox (Peter Boyle) and Midge (Micole Mercurio), take a liking to Lucy. But Lucy takes a liking to Peter's brother Jack (Bill Pullman), though Jack is suspicious about her claim to be Peter's intended. --- Michael Betzold

A tight, fun little romantic comedy that made a big star of female lead Sandra Bullock, this hit benefits greatly from the light-as-air touch of director Jon Turteltaub, who doesn't condescend as much to his audience as many of the genre's other filmmakers. A throwback to the screwball genre of another era, the film coasts along on charm, memorable dialogue (a line about the main character who "sits in a booth like a veal" as a transit system toll collector is a nice, early turn of phrase), and palpable chemistry between its leads. Supporting players are excellent, particularly Jack Warden as an irascible grandfather who's the brains of the outfit, and Michael Rispoli as a clueless suitor. The real selling point here is that the whole affair is presented with a wink and a nudge, as if Turteltaub and his cast are telling the viewer, "Yeah, we know it's all pretty goofy, but sit back, relax, and enjoy it as much as we are." Everybody seems to be having such a good time that it's impossible not to like While You Were Sleeping (1995) and that's where the film succeeds; in less capable hands and with less astute casting, it probably would have been a major dud. A gifted director of breezy, bubbly comedy, Turteltaub has only gone astray when attempting to create serious drama, such as his later flop Instinct (1999). --- Karl Williams
