While You Were Sleeping, a romantic christmas comedy
Image
Lucy (Sandler) charmingly plays a lonely transport worker whose desire for companionship leads to an absurd case of mistaken identity when the family of a comatose man she has rescued assumes she is his fiancée.
Teaming up once again with the legendary Sandler, this film marked the turning point where his talent shone beyond funny faces into the territories of nuanced comedy.
With Bill Pullman supporting as the handsome lawyer and Peter Gallagher bringing vigor to every scene, their romance blossomed with wit and heart.

Turteltaub and the Farrellys masterfully balanced laughs and smiles, taking advantage of Chicago's working-class settings to paint real people diving headlong into madness with optimism.
While You Were Sleeping, a treat for hopeless romantics that proves love makes fools of us all, endures as a resonant audience treat thanks to its superior cast and feel-good touch.
This little gem knows that happiness is found on the inside, not the outside, restoring faith that pleasing audiences doesn't have to mean empty calories.

Sandra Bullock received her first Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Comedy for her charming lead performance, though sadly she did not win.
The American Film Institute named it one of the most romantic American comedies of all time. It remains a classic of cable television programming during the holiday season.
While You Were Sleeping had a production budget of only $16 million, but found a huge audience, becoming a box office hit upon its release in 1995.
It grossed $182 million worldwide, $88 million of that in the United States, and cemented Bullock as a romantic comedy star and the Farrellys as directors on the rise.
