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.
A crowd-pleasing romantic comedy that works better than its formulaic premise has any right to, largely on the strength of Sandra Bullock's lead performance. Critics found it warm and likable without being particularly surprising, landing it in solidly decent rather than genuinely great territory.
“It's a feel-good film, warm and good-hearted, and as it was heading for its happy ending, I was still a little astonished how much I was enjoying it.”
