While You Were Sleeping Reviews

    Where to Watch

A lonely turnstile clerk saves a man who has fallen onto the tracks, then poses as the comatose man's fiancée to gain access to his condition.

Sandra Bullock is a subway token clerk who loves a yuppie commuter (Peter Gallagher) from afar; when she saves him from death on the tracks and he slips into a coma, his family--including affable brother Bill Pullman--mistake her for his fiancee. WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING is a mild romantic comedy rooted in class anxiety, but it's nice to see perennial loser-in-love Pullman (SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE, THE LAST SEDUCTION) get some. Respect, that is.
