I just finished watching this movie and I enjoyed it very much. The plot is implausible but there are some excellent performances and memorable scenes.
Brendan Fraser is gorgeous (as always) and there were many entertaining moments where he shines in his dual roles as identical twin brothers. Shirley MacLaine is excellent as an incorrigible matriarch and Miguel Sandoval hilarious as the devoted butler.
Ricki Lake plays Connie, the title character, who is mistakenly identified as Mrs. Winterbourne after an accident. Being a homeless, unwed mother she allows herself to be taken in by the Winterbourne family but is a fish out of water and in constant fear of being unmasked. The family have their own fears and pains but Connie and the Winterbourne's manage to be positive influences on each other allowing healing, growth and romance.
Of course I've seen it all before but this movie is definitely worth a look if feel good comedy romances are your thing.
