This latter-day romantic screwball comedy stars
Sandra Bullock as a love-starved subway toll booth operator, Lucy. Lucy pines for regular customer Peter Callaghan (
Peter Gallagher), but the self-absorbed attorney pays her no heed. One day, Peter is beaten by a gang of thugs and tossed onto the tracks. Lucy rescues him from death. While he is comatose in the hospital, a comment she makes at his bedside is misinterpreted, and she then allows his family members, who haven't seen Peter in awhile, to believe that she is his fiancée. Peter's parents, Ox (
Peter Boyle) and Midge (
Micole Mercurio), take a liking to Lucy. But Lucy takes a liking to Peter's brother Jack (
Bill Pullman), though Jack is suspicious about her claim to be Peter's intended.
