While You Were Sleeping


I was watching this film and was really reminded of While You Were Sleeping. The confusion of families, being in the hospital, bonding with the family and realising what she was missing out on, falling for the guys brother. I like both films, did anyone else notice the similarities or get the same vibe from this film?

reply

I totally did! Another similarity is both the heroes were carpenters.

My thoughts exactly!

Actually, I was wondering why this film felt familiar and it was really bugging me until I came here and read your post....

And While You Were Sleeping is one of my top 20 movies too.

Shame on me...

Yes, she must like to steal from Sandra Bullock. She's been in a movie with her so I can't imagine she wouldn't notice.
I thought some of the story was lame. You can sleep with a concussion. Such a wives tale.

This movie should have been titled "While You Weren't Sleeping" since they fell in love while they weren't allowed to sleep. I came here to post about the similarities but you beat me to it.

I was thinking that too as soon as Matt turned out to be Will's brother.. but in While You Were Sleeping she never actually dumped one brother for the other and for a while it seemed like that's what was inevitably going to happen in this movie.. which is kind of an uncool thing to do.. but it worked out and Alice didn't really do that either so it's all good.
