This warmly engaging and winning romantic comedy has plenty of novel twists and witty turns. Sandra Bullock is sensational as the lonely Chicago subway clerk, who poses as the fiancée of coma victim Peter Gallagher after saving his life, much to the thrilled amazement of his family and the yearning of his sceptical brother, played by Bill Pullman. This smartly scripted Cinderella love story is crammed with charm and the expert direction of Jon Turteltaub (National Treasure) hits all the right emotional buttons.

A transit worker pulls commuter Peter off railway tracks after he's mugged, but—while he's in a coma—his family mistakenly thinks she's Peter's fiancée, and she doesn't correct them. Things get more complicated when she falls for his brother, who's not quite sure that she's who she claims to be.
