Bill Pullman and Sandra Bullock appear in “While You Were Sleeping.”
Movie predictable, heartwarming
By Gerry Beltz
Film Critic “
Romance is not dead ... not quite
yet, anyway.
Sandra Bullock, who has leapt to
stardom with movies like “Demoli
tion Man” and “Speed,” takes the lead
role in “While You Were Sleeping,”
another romantic comedy to tickle die
funny bone and warm the heart.
It works, too.
Lucy (Bullock) is a lonely subway
adendant who is tired of working holi
days and has an empty spot in her
heart her cat can’t fill. She has no
family, few friends and has fallen in
love with a man to whom she’s never
spoken.
When Lucy’s mystery man (Peter
Gallagher) falls onto the tracks and
into the path of an oncoming train,
Lucy springs out of the booth and
saves his life just in the nick of time.
However, the mysteiy man is in a
coma and one standard cinematic mis
communication gets everyone think
ing that Lucy is Peter’s (the mystery
man’s) fiancee.
Film: “While You Were
Sleeping”
Stars: Sandra Bullock, Bill
Pullman, Peter Gallagher
Director: Jon Turteltaub
Rating: PG
Grade: B
Five words: Romantic comedy
with comatose twist.
Lucy has no real problem with this
at first, because now she has a family
to be with that needs her as much as
she needs them. They accept her into
the family and everything is going
great... until Lucy falls in love with
Peter’s brother Jack (Bill Pullman).
Bill Pullman has played a lot of
good-hearted spamheads in the past
(“Spaceballs,” “Malice”) but avoids
being typecast by portraying a LOV
ABLE, good-hearted spamhead in
“While You Were Sleeping.” Still,he
is enjoyable.
Director Jon Turteltaub (“Three
Ninjas,” “Cool Runnings”) knows all
the tricks on what to do and when to do
it in a romantic comedy, but he doesn’t
seem to know where to stop. Although
the movie’s running time is about 90
minutes, it feels like it takes more than
two hours to get from beginning to
end.
Sandra Bullock proves she can
handle a leading role with “While You
Were Sleeping,” but only if that lead
role is supported by a strong cast and
a strong script. If either of those fac
tors had been any weaker, she would
have been in trouble.
Gallagher plays a great vegetable,
just lying there, completely moti(Mi
less.^It^s easily the^^^j^^mnmce
Kevin Costner in “The Big Chill.”
(By the way, you don’t need to use
your free call to the Psychic Readers
Network to figure out ihe end of this
flick.)
It may seem long, but “While You
Were Sleeping” is a great flick, and
proves that love is not a dead issue.
