In a role that nicely emphasizes her easygoing appeal, Bullock is the reason the movie works at all. She plays Lucy Eleanor Moderatz, a Chicago Transit tollbooth clerk who's hopelessly smitten with a daily commuter, Peter Callaghan (Peter Gallagher). She saves the object of her affection from certain death after he's mugged and falls onto the train tracks. While Peter is in a coma, she lets his family believe that she is his fiancée, and surprisingly finds herself drawn to his brother (Bill Pullman), for whom the attraction is definitely mutual. How Lucy gets out of this amorous predicament is what makes this pleasant movie less predictable than its familiar ingredients would initially indicate. It's feel-good fluff, with characters and performances that keep you smiling through the drippy plot mechanics. <i>--Jeff Shannon</i> Reader Reviews This is one of those movies that will never get old for me. It follows the same predictable pattern that most chick flick's follow, but what it lacks in originality it makes up for with likeable characters and a feeling of "realness." They actually took the time to development the characters enough that the viewer actually has a chance to care about them. If you enjoy a good chick flick, I don't think you'll be disappointed with this one.
