Post Could I Land An Airliner?

I am a brand spanking new PPL and trying to impress the wife. I told her that if the pilots of our next holiday flight were to croak it at the controls in the manner of "Airplane" and all those other disaster movies, then she has no need to worry as I could land the plane without breaking sweat ... So what are the chances of a PPL taking control of a 737 and making a successful landing? Is there any instances of a passenger landing a airliner? Or am I talking through my hat..Walt.
