After a lonely woman saves the life of a complete stranger, she's mistaken for his fiancé and slowly becomes integrated into his family, due to his coma. As her true identity couldn't be verified by anybody, everything seems to be well, until his brother shows up, whose character is about to play a very important role in the upcoming events.It's a lovely and romantic comedy, set in the heart of the winter holidays, which tells an improbable love story about two complete strangers who fall in love without their will and as much as they try to resist, as close they eventually become. It creates a warm and enjoyable atmosphere which lasts until the end. The actors play their roles very convincingly, making you care about their characters while keeping you eager to find out what will happen next and how it's going to end. Besides all of the above, it also manages to make you laugh from time to time, even out loud, just to spice things up a bit. It's a very good movie for everyone to enjoy, especially around the holidays, but not only.

After her father dies "Lucy" (Sandra Bullock) is left all alone with no family and nobody to share her life with. So day after day she goes to work for the Chicago Transit Authority and collects tokens in a small booth while everybody else go about their busy lives. Then one day she sees a handsome young man who helps old ladies get on the subway train and she falls head-over-heels in love with him. The only problem is that she doesn't know his name and he doesn't even know she exists. That changes when he is pushed onto one of the tracks and Lucy manages to drag his unconscious body off of the rails just before an oncoming train goes rushing by. Worried about his health Lucy then goes to the hospital but is told that since she is not part of the family that she cannot see him. However, during the confusion she is introduced as the young man's fiancé and since he is in a coma nobody is able to dispute the fact. So the family welcomes her as one of their own. But things don't exactly work out like Lucy and everyone else expect. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was a cut romantic-comedy which should appeal to most fans of the genre. Likewise, those who like Sandra Bullock will probably have no reason to dislike this movie either. In any case, I enjoyed this film for the most part and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.

This is a very sweet movie, really there's not much not to like here. Its also one of those rare films that gives "formula" a good name, as its about as predictable a romantic comedy as it gets but also well made, with a great cast and just so darn likable.Sandra Bullock is Lucy, a lonely subway cashier who finds herself admiring high-class businessman Peter Gallagher from her turnstile. Secretly in love with him she is forced to come to his aid one morning right before Christmas after he is mugged and then pushed onto the train platform.Later in hospital through a series of (romantic comedy) misunderstandings Lucy is mistaken for Peters fiancée and while he lies in a coma his loud, rather dysfunctional family take her into their fold.To complicate matters Lucy finds herself drawn to the patients brother, Bill Pullman and (the lovely) Uncle Saul (Jack Warden) may have just learned her secret.Although the ending is a bit weak this is a totally enjoyable movie on just about every level. Special mention to Michael Rispoli as Lucy's neighbour Joe Jr, who is scene stealing hilarious and also randomly that bit with the paperboy wiping out on his bike really made me laugh, I smile now just thinking about it.3/27/16

After supporting Sly Stallone in "Demolition Man" and Keanu Reeves in "Speed", Sandra Bullock headlines her own movie in this enjoyable romantic comedy. Plot In A Paragraph: Romantic Lucy's (Sandra Bullock) life consists of constant loneliness and daydreaming of marrying Prince Charming. That is until she saves Peter Gallagher's (played by Peter Gallagher) life. Now she is a part of his family, and with a strong heart and fate on her side, others begin to realise what a terrific person she is, especially Jack (Bill Pullman) Peter's brother. An extraordinarily sequence of events begin to take place as Lucy and Jack become closer. Of the cast, Bill Pullman is at his affable best, (this is the type of role that suits him best) Peter Gallagher doesn't have that much to do, but does it well enough. Peter Boyle is great as Ox, Jason Bernhard is brilliant as Jerry and Jack Weston is wonderful as Saul too. As for Sandra Bullock, she is at her charming, sweet self here. Today she remains one of the most talented and beautiful women in movies, and her ladylike sexiness is in rare supply. Any movie becomes promising just by having her name in it's cast.At must watch at Christmas, if you are feeling romantic.
