  • 4 stars out of 5

    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 Jon Turteltaub's expert direction hits all the right emotional buttons.

    pure magic

    Even if you aren't the romantic type you'll love this movie. With it's blend of comedy and romance and great acting this is one of the best films of all time. Bullock is at her best with her 'girl next door' image and the chemistry between the stars makes this highly watchable. With its great one liners and screwball comedy this is definately one to watch.
