While You Were Sleeping

There are only two movies I watch more than once a year. While You Were Sleeping with Sandra Bullock is one of them. Sure, I love her. But I love Bill Pullman too and Peter Boyle. You know how sometimes you want to recast a movie? This is not one of those. Each person was cast perfectly. They are comedians, their timing is exquisitely done. They are lovable, except Peter and Ashley, but they are great Because they are supposed to be pompous, staid, stuck-up. Every time I watch I am cheering for the heroes to get together. Even Joe Junior, the landlord’s son, has a loveable side to him. Glynis Johns is perfect, and it is great to see her again. But the plot, oh, my, it is hilariously funny! So terrific. I sit on the edge of my seat, chomping down popcorn At an unnatural rate, cheering them on, dying for the ending. When Lucy says “I fell in love with you,” and Peter Boyle says “You fell in love with me?” my heart swells every single time. This is a die-and-go-to-Venice movie. I highly recommend it. If you want to grin for the rest of the night, watch this one.
