Every day this month we are taking a look at a different rom com everyday to celebrate that it is a leap year in 2024 and valentines day also being in the same month.

Day 14 – While You Were Sleeping

Some films we look at as comfort blankets, you know those sort of films that you will watch over and over again and it makes you feel more uplifted and happy. This is one of those films that is one of my favourites and I never get bored of it.

Here is the synopsis:

A hopelessly romantic Chicago Transit Authority ticket booth operator is mistaken for the fiancée of a comatose patient.

Imdb

I have been watching this film for as long as I can remember and I never get bored of it. I love the romance in it and it’s one of those films that make me believe in love and want it. I also a Sandra Bullock character I adore. I love her apartment, I remember as a kid I always wanted her appointment and to dress the Christmas tree like she did. Such a random thing but it always stuck with me that little thought.

Bill Pullman is a great love interest in this film and I adore him. You always have certain characters that you look up to and imagine you may end up with and this was one of those characters I always thought of as that sort of thing as he is one of the best rom com characters. There are some great rom com scenes with him and Sandra Bullock which make it great.

The family make the comedy in this film and there are some great moments. It really is a film that defines what a good rom com looks like. I watch this film as a tradition every Christmas I love it so much.
