I loved this movie quite a lot. I've seen it a few times, and it is one of my favourite rom-coms. As a guy I'm not usually attracted to rom-coms but this was a great exception. Sandra Bullock is lovely in this movie and her relationships with other characters is really well portrayed. A must watch! Also, it's from the 90's, and the scenes are idyllic.

This movie is your typical chick flick where a poor woman explains why she's marrying a stranger (she doesn't love) by saying at least she'll get a holiday and she won't be alone anymore. That last bit thrown in there because women can't be alone apparently. They need to marry someone even if they're the brother of the person they love. Meanwhile, the single bloke she's marrying is sleeping with a married woman behind her husband's back. Charming. Hard to like any of them really.

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.
