No surprises here. "While You Were Sleeping" is heartfelt and funny, but also predictable.

Lucy doesn't have the heart to tell them she isn't, especially because they are so nice and provide her with the family affection that she has been missing. It gets real interesting when Lucy slowly starts falling for the Peter's attractive brother (Bill …
