  1. I rate this title on for age 11 and give it 3.0

    WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING does one thing: highlights the sex appeal of the two stars, Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman, by giving them numerous times to melt in each others arms and stare smoldering into each other's eyes. The story is ridiculous: Bullock saves her dream man from a mugging, pretends to be his fiance while he's in a coma, and then falls head over heels for his brother. However, Bullock pulls it off. She is really the only great thing about this film, which is otherwise full of holes. In the end, you are completely moved by Bullock's tearful scene at the movie's climax. There is little objectionable material. There is a running joke about a man who has only one testicle. Brief mention is made of a sexual relationship, and there are a few "d**n"s and one "b****rd".

    I rate this title on for age 12 and give it 4.0
    My concerns are:
    • Inappropriate sexual content
    • Inappropriate language

    Definitely not appropriate for under 12 !

    I really like this movie myself, but more conservative parents might object to the language and innuendo. One character lies to others that he's having a sexual relationship with another character. One character is cheating on her husband who IS THERE and knows about it and wants her back. This same cheating wife calls another character a "one-balled bast**d". When the main character states that she and her alleged-fiance are waiting until they're married to have a sexual relationship, her best friend looks at her like she's crazy!

    I love it!!!

    Are you looking for a fun,sweet, oldfashioned , romantic comedy for the whole family? If you are "While You Were Sleeping" is the movie for you and your family! I personally loved this movie and I think you'll love it too! This movie has just a speck of adult humor but most of it is family friendly!

    Perfect for mother-daughter movie night!

    This is such a sweet and romantic movie. Another plus - it's funny! Sandra Bullock is perfectly charming and sweet in her role. I love her weird and annoying neighbour! SO FUNNY. Rent it - you won't be disappointed.

    A must-see for tweens!!

    I watched this movie for the second time, after seeing it a really long time ago, and I loved it. It's a great, funny romance, with great actors, and clever plot. There's a few things brought up about underwear, but it really isn't a problem, and although the main character lies about the main plot, I think that's what makes it interesting. I think ages 9 and up. MUST WATCH!!!!!
