It may not be the first rom-com you think of at Christmastime, but 'While You Were Sleeping' is a holiday must-watch.
While You Were Sleeping is an all-time great rom-com, equally heavy on the rom and the com, featuring a stellar love triangle, Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman at their most charming, a raucous supporting cast, and the definitive rundown on "the lean." But it shines as a holiday movie too — one that exemplifies what's best and hardest about the season. Bullock's Lucy is lonely, and pining for both the loving family she lost and the big and boisterous one she never had.
The Real Hurts Christmas Can Bring Over the course of one romantic Chicago winter, Lucy is instantly embraced by the Callaghans, invited to their Christmas celebration where a present is already waiting for her — one she clutches to her heart rather than opening right away, as the giving is the gift for someone used to being on her own. Lucy and Jack kiss awkwardly under the mistletoe, have an even more awkward New Year’s Eve, and hold each other as they slip awkwardly on the ice.
But the bittersweet secret at the heart of While You Were Sleeping is that everyone’s sleeping, not just the handsome man in the coma. Lucy is sleepwalking through her life until the Callaghans’ infectious affection and Jack’s expert lean wake her up. Jack is keeping his head down, minimizing his passions to defer to his father’s dreams for him — and his father, loving as he is, doesn’t want to snap out of it .
