 Engaging story, without being sappy! July 29, 2008
Gail Strumberger (Pewaukee, Wisconsin United States)
I don't know if most men shy away from romantic comedies or not. But my husband likes both Bill Pullman and Sandra Bullock so he'll watch this with me from time to time. One of my favorites of the genre. And certainly worth a few laughs.

Kathryn A. Roach (aspen, co usa)
I love this film, it is romantic, edgy, and it makes you dream of what could and can come in life.

Dana (Northern California)
Our family quotes lines from this movie on a regular basis!! It is one of those very funny films that has just the right amount of humor mixed with romance. A good, decent film that the whole family can enjoy.
Clever Romantic Comedy July 15, 2008
J. Witt
This movie has all the pieces that make a great romantic comedy. The main character (Sandra Bullock) is someone you can relate to and makes you laugh. The family scenes are hilarious as well. I really enjoy this movie.
One Of My Favorites June 19, 2008
Ayesha (PA Dutch Country)
I knew this film was great when my husband sat through the entire film with me and genuinely enjoyed it.
Lucy is a lonely young woman living in the big city with her pet cat. For a living, she sits in a booth day after day and collects tolls. One day, she sees a tall, dark handsome man (Peter) who seems to resemble her now dead father. She falls in love with him but he's oblivious to her.
Because Lucy lives alone, her boss gets her to work Christmas Day. Amazingly, the man of her dreams rushes by on the Holiday, drops some coins in her booth, and wishes her a merry Christmas. It happened so fast that poor Lucy never even got the chance to speak to her would-be lover. As fate would have it, though, he ends up getting mugged and is pushed onto the tracks in front of an oncoming train. Lucy bolts from her booth and jumps onto the tracks. As she lies on top of him, she rolls him and herself out of the path of the oncoming train, thus saving his life.
At the hospital, the personnel block her from going to him. As they do, she stares through the glass doors at his prone form lying on a gurney and says, "I'm going to marry him." A nearby nurse oversees what happens and hears what Lucy says.
When the family arrives, they rush into Peter's room anxious to see how he is doing. Lucy is pointed out to them and they are told that she saved Peter's life. And that's when the nurse tells everyone that Lucy is his fiance - and the fun begins.
There's much said about the predictability of this film. Whether you feel it is predictable or not, it's handled in such a way that you're anxious to see the story unfold and to watch how everything turns out. Sandra Bullock gives a terrific performance as the sweet, lonely, and lovable Lucy; Bill Pullman plays, Jack, Peter's brother. A cast of great character actors make up Peter's family. I honestly believe it's the combined performance of the stellar cast that make this film so memorable.
If you're thirsting for something wholesome, funny, and that doesn't get old with repeated viewings, then this is the movie for you! You won't regret it!
