    This was a cute, off-beat movie with some not so good dialogue at times....Ricki Lake is not the greatest actor but she was pretty cute in the part and I really liked Brendan Fraser and Shirley Maclaine. I enjoyed it, it was reminiscent of "While you were Sleeping" and had a happy ending.

    I don't know why I really liked this movie so much. I just did. He didn't have to stretch by playing both twins at the same time, but I liked the movie still.

    A chick-flick though it is a rather good watch. The melodrama and the emotions flying around the whole movie add a strong flavour of beautiful entertainment. A decent watch.

    I really love this film. I dunno why. I think it's because Ricki Lake seems like someone you may actually meet. Cute story..and Shirley MacLaine owns it.

    Avis aux filles, à voir si vous vous sentez l'âme aux contes de fée, celui-ci en est un moderne, mais d'un quétaine et d'un guimauve si prononcé que je vous souhaite de ne pas être diabétique... Un bon point : Brendan Fraser, qui a mystérieusement disparu ces dernières années...

    Dernier point : tant qu'à vous emmerdez, lisez donc J'ai épousé une ombre, de William Irish... je ne l'Ai jamais terminé, mais c'en est une copie cachée, alors lisez la merde originale tant qu'à vous contenter de sa copie...

    This is a fast-paced movie that offers a refreshing romantic storyline. Ricki Lane (as Connie Doyle) successfully plays the role of a woman who is trapped between what she thinks is good for her child and her conscience. Brendan Fraser (as Hugh/Bill Winterbourne) is, as always, gorgeous. Shirley Maclaine (as Grace Winterbourne) portrays a rich lady who's hungry to see a grandchild that she forgets to protect her wealth just so she could leave these to a grandson (and daughter-in-law) she believed she has. Let's not forget Miguel Sandoval who, as Paco, was a very charming and convincing butler.

    While the storyline needs more polishing to be believable, this film managed perfectly to entertain me, leaving me to forget intellectualizing on it. Thus, I spent the entire time enjoying the movie.

    If there is any film that amuses and entertains (and makes one believe that there still is such a thing as "romance"), this is it!

    Great Chick flick. Not bad for a Ricky Lake movie, but if you like Brendan Fraser, well worth the look.
