While You Were Sleeping

Pros: Everything

I have a few guilty pleasures. Moments that I set aside just for myself to indulge in something that feels good. I'm talking about things like long hot bubble baths, or maybe sitting outside watching the fireflies. Once in a while it means picking ...

Pros: Brilliant casting (especially Bullock, Pullman, Boyle and Johns); poignant and charming tone
Cons: ~~~~

Pros: Sandra Bullock in a role meant just for her!
Cons: Sorry, can't think of any

This movie was made for Sandra Bullock. I cannot imagine anyone else so perfect for this role. Ms. Bullock may not be thrilled about it but her best films are when she plays what seems to come natural for her and that is the cute and cuddly type. Meg...

Pros: Good acting; humorous; relatively clean
Cons: an unnecessary plastic-surgery remark

The Basic Plot
Sandra Bullock (who has a home here in the great state of Texas, I might add!) stars as Lucy Eleanor Moderatz, a lonely single woman with no living relatives. Her life consists of working as a token collector in a booth...

Pros: One one the best romantic comedies of all time!
Cons: I usually don't like romantic comedies.

I rarely like to give 5 stars to any movie because I think the highest rating should be reserved for the best of the best. A movie has to be virtually perfect, highly entertaining and truly exceptional for me to even consider it for 5-Star status.

Cons: None at all

Sandra Bullock is her usual cute and charming self in this film. This romantic comedy is another one for your collection, it's in mine. Sandy, to me, seems like the "girl next door", someone you wouldn't mind hanging out with. I saw this one at...

Pros: Great twist of comedy, romance, and even a little betrayel
Cons: Too bad not every movie is as wonderful

I first saw this movie a couple of years ago with a former boyfriend of mine. It is the mother of all chick flicks, so guys beware. I knew it was supposed to be a romantic chick flick, and being the hopeless romantic that I am, I wanted to see it. So,...

Pros: story, Bill Pullman, insanity, chaos, mistaken identity

This is absolutely one of my favorite movies of all time. The love story is great--girl meets boy, girls saves boy's life, girls falls in love with boy's brother . . .

But my favorite parts of this movie are not related to the love story, but...

Pros: Sweet story with good actors.

Cons: Only if you don't like Sandra Bullock

Girl sees guy. Girl falls for guy. Guy falls! So begins the story of "While You Were Sleeping" starring Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman. The sitcom-style plot of miscommunications and mis-identifications is developed into a hilarious and...

Pros: Sandra Bullock-perfect for the role
Cons: A Little predictable

I can so relate to this story. I started writing, that is what I do, because of daydreaming about guys I would see around. Many men may find it unrealistic, but for me it just connects.

I have seen many many films and none compare to the...

Pros: Romantic
Cons: Predictable

I went to the theater to see this movie with a few girlfriends when it came out. I think it's a very good "chick flick" movie, or great for a date as well. Sandra Bullock was very lovable. You feel sorry for her since she's all alone, no family. It's only natural that Peter's family accepts her as one of their own. Bill Pullman has those "puppy dog" eyes that make you just simply melt. In my opinion the movie was predictable. You could see the direction that it was heading from almost the beginning. I tend to watch it when it's on tv and I'm around to see it. I rate it very highly.
