In Relation To While You Were Sleeping

Lucy Moderatz (Sandra Bullock) is all alone. Her father died a year ago, leaving her without family, and her only friends are her co-worker and her boss. But she knows the man she's going to marry. That is, she knows what he looks like. He passes her every day on his way to work. Then, one day, an accident happens and Lucy saves his life. Peter (Peter Gallagher) is in a coma when his family arrives, and in the midst of all the confusion they get the impression that Lucy is engaged to him. Lucy doesn't have the courage to tell them the truth - and soon finds herself knee-deep in the kooky, but kind Callaghan family.

Pros: I absolutely love the Callaghans - particularly the Elsie the grandmother (Glynis Johns), Ox the dad (Peter Boyle), and, of course, Jack the brother (Bill Pullman). The storyline is whacky enough to be funny, but not whacky enough to be unbelievable. I also really like Lucy. Joe Fusco, Jr. (Michael Rispoli) is absolutely hilarious.

Cons: There's one scene where the Callaghans are at Mass and Jack and Ox are talking about business. It's a funny scene, but I'd prefer if the hero paid attention to the Mass.

My Rating: MT (sexual references, language)
