WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING (1995) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION

[@joannaholden943]

One thing I love about this movie - the big surprise reveal didn't result in a big blowup and "how could you". There wasn't even the standard rush to the airport. The whole family just welcomed her back in and Jack just proposed. It was perfect ❤

[@dennis2966]

Yes, I found that so refreshing.

[@christopherthr]

I’ll never understand why this movie isn’t super famous. Incredibly well made, well written, well acted. Just super wholesome and heartwarming; one of my family’s enduring favorites for the holidays. Thank you so so much for watching and loving this underrated classic!

[@Serai3]

It was very famous when it came out. Did very good box office.

[@kriscynical]

It WAS famous back in the '90s. It was one of those movies that the majority of everybody had seen, and it was prominent on the shelves at video rental places when it came out on VHS, like a whole floor to ceiling section.

[@MassimoCerreto]

Actually this is still my no. 2 romcom to this day. It used to be my no. 1 until Noting Hill came out.

[@renedavila654]

Check out the reviews. It is a well loved movie

[@brianng8350]

I won't say wholesome - 2 brothers loving the same woman and relationship with a married woman... hahaha... But it was done as a comedy...

[@Heritage367]

The chemistry between Jack and Lucy is amazing. I also love the whole family, and how much they were part of the story.

[@mojoshivers]

I love this movie mostly because it’s also about finding a family’s love as well as romantic love, which to a lot of people is something they crave more.

[@Pinkladyisv]

Right! Lucy loved the family dynamic and wanted to be a part of it!

[@LlamaLlamaMamaJamaac]

“I fell in love with you” “You fell in love with ME?” “I fell in love with all of you”

[@kenfreeman8888]

While You Were Sleeping came out shortly after Sleepless in Seattle, and I always appreciated how Bill Pullman, playing the kind boyfriend Meg Ryan leaves in Sleepless, moved on to have a wonderful love story as the good brother in While You Were Sleeping.

[@jeffreyla74]

To my family: If I'm ever in a coma and Sandra Bullock tells you she's my fiance, I'm Okay with it.

[@dennis2966]

LOL! Great comment!

[@adamromero]

So true!! 😆

[@Cadinho93]

"Lucy, you're born into a family. You do not join them like you do the Marines." Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman had such great chemistry that made this movie! Wish they would make more movies like this because I miss movies that were decent, pure, elegant and family friendly.

[@robwagnon6578]

I love that quote:)

[@funkyjbass7762]

Unfortunately I think Rom-Coms in the 90s style are a modern day PC / Woke minefield that makes them all but impossible to get financed. There will always be the minority of a minority of a marginalized group that will be triggered and try and Cancel everyone involved in it.

[@terri639]

>"I miss movies that were decent, pure, elegant and family friendly." YES!!! Same here. I'm so tired of gritty, "realistic," harsh movies. I want a return to fun, innocence, and happy endings! Why can't movies just be a fantasy and fun anymore? Why does everything have to be dark and depressing?! Honestly, I'm so tired of it. I just want happy, good, and fun back.

[@kriscynical]

I also miss the days of slapstick comedies. Comedies now always rely on second hand embarrassment or they're just... stupid. _Painfully_ stupid.

[@clarkmichaels822]

That doesn't make any sense. What about adopted children? Partners and spouses? How do they become part of a family? Oh right, they join them. What a dumb quote.

[@pladuke71]

"She's kind of dorky and I love her so much!" That is exactly why I love Sandra Bullock so much. 😁

[@scapevelocity]

This is one I saw in a theater when it first came out. No idea why I went to see it, but I fell in love with Sandra Bullock's Lucy almost immediately. They say acting is reacting, and Lucy sitting quietly while the family argues about the kind of nonsense families like to argue about is just perfect. She just smiles and glows from being in the room with them.

[@hazcatsophia]

Finally. Someone reacted to this movie! This is my all-time favorite movie. It was kind of hard to watch along because I’ve seen it so many times, I know the dialogue. 😂

[@ct6852]

Sandy Bullock was so great. Probably the girl-next-door-type movie star GOAT. She had a relatability that made her perfect for this kind of thing. Glad she eventually got her Oscar. She was someone to really root for.

[@ollietsb1704]

She's also mixed in some fairly unpleasant films - 28 DAYS, for example... which is a top performance by her but unpleasant to watch BECAUSE she does it so well. Tough. THE NET is an interesting film, well made, well acted but, again, rather difficult to watch. I really enjoy TWO IF BY SEA where she's a willing accomplice to a criminal boyfriend (the usually unlikeable Denis Leary, who's pretty fun in this one). LAKE HOUSE and PREMONITION (which I continually confuse and seldom rewatch). HOPE FLOATS is pretty depressing for me to watch again... more like HOPE SINKS. MISS CONG is so much fun and #2 is not. sigh... but all are part of her work and I'm thankful for that.

[@ct6852]

@@ollietsb1704 Totally forgot about 28 Days...she was really good in that. Gravity was really good as well. She's been pretty damn bankable for a long time. Kind of a bummer she retired or whatever happened? She's been pretty MIA.

[@sammygoodnight]

Sandra Bullock is one of only a few examples I can think of who transitioned from cute sweetheart roles to a variety of serious acting roles. Very impressive career.

[@yaimavol]

Yeah and she had lousy luck with guys in real life for a long time.

[@hashshashiin.forsī]

When you mention girl-next-door-type it reminds me of Elisha Cuthbert 😂

[@mikehigbee2320]

This is probably the best RomCom ever made. My wife watches it about six times a year. I always roll my eyes and say, "not again," but then I watch and enjoy it too. How can a man fail to fall for Lucy every time? Sandra Bullock...a man couldn't ask for more.

[@gdiaz8827]

Yea but us men gotta hide the fact we enjoy some if the romcoms just tell them

[@EughhBrothereughh]

Why did you marry your wife if you couldn't ask for more 🤣🤣🤌

[@jordanhernandez2329]

My mom loves this movie, I grew up with her watching and quoting it constantly. "IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S... _LEANING_ ."

[@Adrianne519]

Me and my sister always quote “these mash potatoes are so creamy” and the whole confession about what really happened to the squirrels 😂😂

[@nancyrinkers9723]

Sandra Bullock has such excellent comedic timing, which made this movie great. One of my favs! She and Bill Pullman had great on screen chemistry and worked so well off each other. Glad you finally viewed this movie!

[@jsharp3165]

I know most guys prefer watching you gut your way through violence and horror. But I love seeing you on cloud nine like this! In your element!

[@aklimar2208]

I don’t know … her Nightmare on Elm Street reaction was pretty spectacular

[@rajdixit1605]

It is fun to watch Cassie struggle with horror flicks - but she needs a break for Christmas! Besides, horror flicks, at least for this channel, should be reserved for Halloween season (just my opinion). It's fun to watch reactions to nice movies as well.

[@aklimar2208]

@@rajdixit1605 2nd the break for Christmas :)

[@brandyperry-giotis9962]

I have always loved this movie. They were filming it during my sophomore year of high school about 3 blocks away from my house in Logan Square. I was able to watch the scene where Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman slipped on the ice in front of her apartment; it took about 8 takes for them to get it just right. . It was awesome! 🤩

[@g100-w6j]

whoa that must have been so surreal to witness 😩 I'm jealous

[@marykatezehr1074]

I'm telling you, Cass, this is my all-time favorite Christmas romantic/comedy movie b/c it's genuinely funny and heartwarming!!!! So glad you liked it Merry Christmas, everyone!!!!

[@chrischampagne9469]

I was a teenage boy when this movie came out and it was the first, and for a while the ONLY, romcom that I genuinely loved and still do.

[@SapphireBoy26]

Fun fact: The woman who played the grandmother is the same actress who played the mother in the original Mary Poppins. Another amazing romcom you should react to is Return to Me, starring Minnie Driver and David Duchovny. It’s one of my all time favorite movies, very heartbreaking yet uplifting at the same time.

[@mikeshoe74]

oh wow, been so long since I seen Mary Poppins, I never realized.

[@ltyancey4283]

Yes! Return to Me. It would stay on repeat for me except sometimes it plucks my heartstrings a little too hard.

[@Serai3]

I third Return to Me. Heartbroken Duchovny is something to behold. What a yummy man.

[@pringals]

Yes, defiantly need to see "Return to Me" ... and "Just Like Heaven" staring Reese Witherspoon. I think Cassie needs a few more romance/comedies in her rotation next year.

[@giannawyatt2282]

I agree with Return to Me! It's so underrated :)

[@SarahTheBloody]

This is my ultimate feel-good Christmas romcom. Glad to see you react to it, I think it's been missed by the general masses. It gives me that warm, cozy feeling inside. ^_^

[@terben7339]

Glynis Johns (Elsie) is one of my favourite actors. She turned 99 this year. Her first movie role was in 1938 when she was 15. This was her second to last movie role.

[@Chapin-pc2kz]

Sadly, she outlived her only child, a son, who died 15 years ago.

[@franciscogarza9633]

One of the actors who played Saul a longtime friend and neighbor to Peter's family was Jack Warden as you seen him as Juror number 7 from 12 Angry Men.

[@cherylcrabtree9628]

I love watching your reactions-makes it so fun to see it through your eyes. I don’t know if anyone has mentioned it yet, but Bill Pullman was Meg Ryan’s fiancé in “Sleepless in Seattle”. It’s really a great example of acting-from a man no one wanted, to one everyone does, all with a change of character. Love this movie. Well done…

[@the_nikster1]

omg Cass! you have no idea how happy this reaction made me! Sandra Bullock was *THE* it-girl of the 90s and I can't even think of a movie she's done that she wasn't phenomenal in. I used to watch this movie all the time with my aunt and we'd laugh together and quote it non-stop. another favorite Sandra Bullock movie of mine is Love Potion No. 9, which I know you'd love! if you're looking for something that isn't a rom-com, The Net is worth checking out. it often gets overlooked but it's a great Thriller and of course Sandra Bullock delivers an amazing performance ❤

[@AdoreYouInAshXI]

The Net was indeed a great movie!

[@agemoth]

I loved The Net too .

[@MsNanceePants]

This is the ONLY movie I watch every Christmas, without fail. As others have pointed out, not only is the writing and acting top tier, but the focus on her finding _family_ and not just a man is the part that I just can't get enough of. Truly, this film should teach a master class to everyone making those dime-a-dozen streaming service rom-coms on how to create meaningful characters, character relationships, and character development...and to do it in roughly 90 minutes. Also, I'm just now realizing that it's one of the only rom-coms I can think of where the protagonist is working class. You _believe_ that she's not made of money, and that fact never makes you pity her. It's just part of her world. It's totally normalized and I love that.

[@mrgonzale0978]

I love this movie. Sandra and bill had a great chemistry in this film.

[@dbsagacious]

We should all strive to be as happy as Cassie is when watching a love story 🥰🥰🥰

[@larrystuder8543]

70 year old guy here, married almost 45 years. This is one of my many favorite movies. The inevitable romance, complicated by the many, ever increasing, web of incidents and misunderstandings. This might have been the first movie that I saw Bill Pullman in, that I realized who he was. Excellent actor. And that family- they could be mine..

[@garykuovideos]

As someone who rarely watches romcoms, I absolutely adore this film. Everything about it is perfect. Happy holidays, everyone! 🚉

[@adamcox13579]

I only watched this for the first time a few months ago and I loved it. I generally enjoy any Sandra Bullock movie but Lucy is definitely one of most adorable, sweet and relatable characters in any film.

[@virginiapudelko6280]

Did you recognize the woman playing the grandmother? She is the woman that plays Mrs. Banks, the mother of the two children in the original Mary Poppins!

[@ronsavage6491]

And the antagonist in The Ref, another Christmas movie.

[@dudieb]

I also think this is a very underated movie. Sandra at her cutest. Based on your reactions to these kind of movies I really think you would love The Holiday. It’s Kate Winslet, Jude Law, Cameron Diaz, Jack Black and Eli Wallach(RIP). Its funny, romantic, touching and can also be considered a Christmas movie. Also, Love Actually is the best!

[@ct6852]

Willing to bet she's already seen it. But if she hasn't she should react to it pronto. Like tomorrow.

[@MichaelPower212]

Bill (Jack) Pullman was also in SLEEPless in Seattle. "The Lake House" is another fine movie with Bullock and Keanu Reeves.

[@lindastarr4699]

Cassie, you're so right about 90s romcoms being the best. Love this movie and especially during Christmas time! I am so glad you watched it and enjoyed it too. Another great one is Runaway Bride and for Christmas we watch Little Women starring Wynonna Ryder. The grandmother also played the mother in the original Mary Poppins.

[@SK-lk3iu]

I really liked Runaway Bride.

[@terri639]

Yeah, I really miss 80's-2000's romcoms honestly. They just don't really make them anymore. I miss happy, fun movies with happy endings.

[@sup9542]

I think Hollywood is so political now you can’t have romance because it “implies a woman needs a man.” If they made it today she’d realize she doesn’t want either of them and goes to Europe with her girlfriends instead. She’d also be a genius and a high earner and better than the men in every way, stronger than them even, there’d be a scene where she overpowers and beats the crap out of the neighbor.

[@skatedurr]

@@terri639 they still make them but they don't get the money to be well written & sold to a streaming service & get lost in the shuffle

[@markfilla9305]

Cassie - another outstanding reaction! You were so in your element watching this one. You've said from the beginning that this is the kind of movie that you always watched before starting this channel so it was great seeing you react to it. Well done!

[@JamesFarrOfficial]

Best romantic comedy ever created. Saw it in the theater when it came out.

[@haroldmanicotti3815]

I had a pretty awful time as a kid, but I would watch this movie and it would make me feel happy. I watched it over and over growing up and always wished I had a family like that. Its still a huge comfort movie for me. I loved your reaction to it!

[@ridleysaria]

I knew you'd love this movie. It's my favorite romantic comedy and I don't love many, so it's saying a lot that this won me over. I guess it gives us lonely people a little hope. But mainly it's because Sandra Bullock is so damn charming. Speed was the movie that made her famous but I first saw her in Love Potion No 9, and later Demolition Man. I'll always crush on her a bit.

[@markfeggeler3479]

One of our family favorites. Saw it in the theater with my wife many moons and three (now grown) children ago. It is a perfect movie with the perfect balance of humor, romance and silliness while still somehow feeling grounded in reality.

[@michelletackett9489]

I adore this movie. It's one of my favorite movies of all time. Sandy is precious, you want to hug her. The whole cast is amazing, and it's very sincere and sweet.

[@xel1673]

One of my favorite rom-coms. I remember it more fondly since it was one of the first I saw with my mom. I really liked Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman. One of my first actor crushes. Does make me wonder if Cassie has seen the 1995 BBC Pride & Prejudice since she likes Bridget Jones' Diary and rom-coms so much. If she hasn't she definitely should and hopefully react to it.

[@carlchiles1047]

It’s one I have tagged to rewatch whenever I want to see Sandra happy…

[@reneamuir]

i freaking love this movie. easily on my list of favourite christmas movies/movies in general. it has such a great rewatch-ability factor. great reaction!! :)

[@jonathanwhistler9081]

My mom watched this non stop. This is a classic.

[@marko7225]

"The Lake House" with Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves. Underrated movie. One of my wife's favorite movies.

[@joel65913]

This is a lovely little romantic comedy that is strengthened by its somewhat wistful underlying tone which adds a layer of depth to the film. As someone else commented Glynis Johns, still with us at 99!, who plays the wacky charming grandmother also played the mother in Mary Poppins. Aside from that milestone she appeared in many terrific films over her 60 year career, she made her first film when she was 15. One of the most famous and enjoyable and the one you would probably like the most is the 1955 comedy "The Court Jester" with Danny Kaye as the title character, Angela Lansbury as a spoiled princess and Glynis as a very fair member of a rebel band trying to restore the rightful heir to the throne. It's a colorful delight.

[@rgallitan]

I grew up with The Court Jester on home video and Glynis Johns became one of my first screen crushes. She's absolutely gorgeous in that movie, with just a touch of an unhinged edge that foreshadows her comedic abilities later in life. Speaking of which, she's also perfect as the evil mother in The Ref ('94) which is a Christmas comedy staple around our house.

[@BobMartinsback]

And of course, the daughter of the wonderful Welsh actor Mervyn Johns, who was prolific in British film and theatre for several decades.

[@lalou4617]

P. S. If you want another Rom-Com feel good movie. You need to see Return To Me with David Duchovney and Minnie Driver along with the cutest gang of old people you'll ever see. It's a guaranteed gusher!!!!

[@talltulip]

Be sure you don't miss out on another Sandra movie called "Love Potion No. 9." It's a hidden gem that few people know about. It has some really funny stuff. Very cute and sweet, and great humor.

[@heathercontois4501]

I love that movie

[@markhunter3263]

It’s a cute enough movie, but I’m not sure if it’s one that ages well. (Considering like the Cosby stuff.) I mean the whole premise is essentially about drugging people into doing things they wouldn’t otherwise consent to.

[@_WillCAD_]

There are a few rom-coms that I really enjoy, and this is at the top of the list. It's got a bunch of actors I like - Sandra Bullock, Bill Pullman, Peter Boyle, Jason Bernard, Ali Walker - and it's got a crazy, quirky set of characters, and a wacky comedic plot. The whole film just charms, but especially Sandra Bullock. I've been a fan of her for a long time, and I never truly realized why until one day when I looked over my elementary school photos and realized that she's a dead ringer for the girl I fell head over heels in love with in 4th grade. I mean, the fact that she's one of the most talented actors of the last thirty years or so may have contributed to my fandom, too. I'm just sayin'. I've often said of Sandra Bullock - I really liked her in Demolition man, I absolutely loved her in Speed, but I FELL IN LOVE with her in While You Were Sleeping.

[@darryndifrancesco8346]

I loved your reaction and knew you would love this movie. This is simply one of the best rom coms ever. This 60 year guy still tears up at this movie. Sandra Bullock has never been more adorable. The rest of the cast is perfect. How can one not love Glynis Johns as the grandmother. It is a must watch movie every Christmas. Seeing how you love these kinds of movies, if you haven’t seen French Kiss with Meg Ryan and Kevin Kline you must. It’s another quirky rom com that is too often overlooked.

[@jkmacrunnel]

This is one of my favorites of all time. I NEVER get tired of it. I just love all the characters, even Peter who is kind of a doofus.

Glynis Johns is an awesome actress. She's worked so many famous actors in her 90+ years; Jimmy Stewart in No Highway In The Sky, Julie Andrews in Mary Poppins, and she was in the Christmas movie The Ref.

[@randycliff4045]

You're so fun and silly. Watching you is a little like enjoying movies with our daughter for the first time. I'll recommend an older movie to you again, partly because of how well you respond to older movies and partly because it's just one of my favourties -- The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, 1947 :)

[@paintedjaguar]

💫Cassie really ought to see that one. She'd enjoy it, and I think it's one of those that might be a revelation to those who haven't watched older movies. "Johnny Belinda" (1948) is another that springs to mind. Beautifully filmed, very evocative of a particular time and place, and the subject matter will surprise current audiences (not a rom-com).

[@McPh1741]

This is one of my wife’s favorites. I’m not one for romcoms but I like Bill Pullman, Peter Boyle and Jack Warden (Saul). The 90s was a good time for romcoms. Another one worth watching is “It Could Happen To You” with Nicolas Cage and Bridgette Fonda.

[@moonchild8422]

Yes!!!

[@FeaturingRob]

This was the movie that made me fall in love with Sandra Bullock. For years Sandra Bullock was it! Every movie she made, I had to see it and collect it on video. When she finally won the Oscar for 'The Blind Side' I was over the moon. She is still in my top 5 all-time favorite actresses. I wanted to point out a couple of things... Glynis Johns who was the grandmother also played the mother in 'Mary Poppins'. She also won a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical for 'A Little Night Music' by Stephen Sondheim...in the show, she was the first actress to sing "Send In The Clowns", one of the most legendary songs in the Broadway canon. Jack Warden who plays Saul is one of my favorite character actors of all time. There are quite a few amazing films he made that you should see, but I will only list one particular one that would be in the romcom genre...'Heaven Can Wait' (1978). It's one of the many films he made with writer-director-actor Warren Beatty. It's probably my favorite of the romcoms that Beatty made. It's actually a remake of a film called 'Here Comes Mr. Jordan' (1941). The film stars Warren Beatty, Julie Christie, Jack Warden, Dyan Cannon, Charles Grodin, Buck Henry, and James Mason. I am a fan of Peter Gallagher (Peter aka Sandy Cohen...I loved 'The O.C.') as a Broadway actor in musicals and plays...Before 'While You were Sleeping', he played Sky Masterson in a huge revival of 'Guys And Dolls' on Broadway. And back in the 80s, he did a really racy romantic drama called 'Summer Lovers' (1982) with Daryl Hannah and a French actress named Valerie Quenessen, directed by Randall Kleiser (best known for directing 'Grease'). I suggest the film 'Guys and Dolls' with Marlon Brando, Frank Sinatra, and Jean Simmons, but not 'Summer Lovers' for the channel (as it is waaaaaay too...adult for the channel.). Fun little trivia...Bill Pullman (Jack) is the real-life dad of a fan-favorite character in one of the biggest films this year. Bill is the father of Lewis Pullman who played Bob in 'Top Gun: Maverick'.

In case you missed it, the grandmother is Glynis Johns, who played Mrs. Banks in “Mary Poppins.”

I didn't know this! Thank you for sharing! 🥰

[@margaretforsey7763]

I love this movie so much. 💕 One thing I find silly is that Jack proposes to Lucy right away. He has only known her for maybe two weeks! I feel like they should date and get to know each other first! But I guess a proposal makes for a better romcom ending.

I remember Bill Pullman in The Accidental Tourist as well but it's so insanely long ago I saw it I couldn't say if it's a react worthy movie. It was nominated for Best Picture though, and Geena Davis won Best Supporting Actress. Written/directed by Lawrence Kasdan (Empire Strikes Back, The Force Awakens, Solo) and score by John Williams, both also nominated for Oscars that year.

Bill Pullman was/is pretty awesome. That speech in Independence Day is still movie-speech greatness.

For lack of better words, this movie is freaking precious. I have to have noise to fall asleep. This is one of my safe movies. No sudden loud noises, calm, and has a good, sweet energy for nice dreams.

So much fun seeing you react to a movie right in your wheelhouse. Another romcom worth checking out is 1988's Working Girl with Harrison Ford and Sigourney Weaver (and some other great actors).

Hands down my wife's favorite Romantic Comedy -- and one of my favorites as well. It's on my Top Ten List of Unconventional Christmas Movies.

The casting in this movie is fantastic!

Hands down, my favorite proposal scene in any movie, ever!!!

[@HowtoRPG]

Seeing you so happy and excited about the movie, is refreshing. Sandra has done so many comedys.

[@GAJ3T]

This movie is one of my favorites; another is "Ever After: A Cinderella Story" (Which you should watch)

[@bossfan49]

I never saw someone so genuinely giddy over a fictional relationship. 😀 You are a riot, Cassie. "AWW SHE LOVES HIM!!"

[@weekndwarrior3454]

So happy you reacted to this movie. I watched it when it released and still love it to this day. 😊

I’m from Chicago and this is one of my top Christmas movies. Found it by chance under the radar. Glad it gave you the feels. Every girl I date and show it to loves it. It never misses.

[@denanebergall5514]

This is my second favorite movie ever!! I remember seeing it in the theater and I know it word for word. The first time I visited Chicago, I geeked out over this movie. You recognized Peter Doyle and Bill Paxton, but what a lot of people don't know is that the grandmother is the mom from Mary Poppins!! 💗 This is the first movie I ever saw Sandra Bullock in. 💗

You said Bill Paxton....think you mean Bill Pullman (Jack)

My favourite christmas movie... I have been watching it every year one week before christmas for more than 20 years now. Even though you know each and every line, it is still fun too watch. I met someone in the 90s on the internet (yes... the early years of the internet) and we were chatting about this movie. It was the reason we started talking and the beginning of a friendship that now lasts for more than 25 years! Even though we live on two different continents we keep our friendship alive talking each and every day. So whenever I watch this movie she is here with me in my heart as well. Thank you for finally reacting to this one, Cassie...
