If going into a coma would lead to waking up engaged to a loveable woman like Lucy (Sandra Bullock), I would go searching for an accident right away.
This movie is a sweet romantic film, based on misunderstandings, yet avoiding being embarrassing. The main character, Lucy, is a lonely, dreaming romantic, with whom I can easily relate. The Callaghan family, which she is suddenly and rapidly becoming a part of, is portrayed as the very opposite, though in a warm and loving manner. Maybe that is what appeals most to me in this movie; the romantic dream becomes a wish for a caring environment rather than for a perfect life.
Watching this movie, one may find it unrealistic that a person as likeable as Lucy would ever need to be lonely, but the truth is that there are lots of real people just as likeable and just as lonely. This movie may give some hope.
