I enjoyed this sad tale of trouble;Connie(Lake) is a passenger on the train, and she is pregnant by her boyfriend.Hugh(Frasier) is also on the train... with his lovely wife.Apparently,the train crashes and Hugh tragically dies with his pregnant bride.Connie is the survivor,who just happens to have the ring on her finger.Grace(MacLaine) mistakes her for her daughter-in-law-and son.BIll is Hugh's lookalike brother who is suspicious of Connie's motives.The Winterbournes welcome Connie into the family,but her boyfriend tries to blackmail her with the truth he knows.This is a real heart-tugger and I applaud MacLaine,Frasier and Lake for their performances Full Review

Because it is light and stylish and good-hearted, it is quite possible to enjoy, in the right frame of mind. This is more of a movie to see on video, on an empty night when you need something to hurl at the gloom.Full Review

The script is a little too clunky to serve Ricki Lake well, and Richard Benjamin's direction is a bit too sluggish to disguise her limited range as he crams this romantic fairy tale a little too forcefully into its predetermined mold. [19 Apr 1996, p.53]Full Review

Happily, MacLaine (who can pull off these lovable eccentric dowagers while she's sleeping) and Fraser, showcasing a previously untapped flair for romantic comedy, keep Lake on her toes. [19 Apr 1996, p.1D]Full Review

This film mistakes action for energy, ridiculous circumstances for comedy, and a mismatched male/female pairing for romance.Full Review

In this case of mistaken identity, Ricki Lake's career takes a dubious step from trashy TV talk show to B movie.Full Review
