Leave your thoughts about Mrs. Winterbourne.
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonBecause 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. |
| San Francisco ExaminerBarbara ShulgasserOf course, turning a novel by Woolrich into a light romantic froth is a little like turning King Lear into a musical comedy. But Benjamin has the right comic touch to pull this off. |
| EmpireCaroline WestbrookIt's all a little too coincidental for comfort, and surprisingly short on laughs for a comedy, but nonetheless this is a light, well-meaning flick, improved considerably by Lake's scatty heroine. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThis is more of a movie to see on video, on an empty night when you need something to hurl at the gloom. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrRicki Lake makes an appealing, though unlikely, fairy tale heroine in the derivative romance Mrs. Winterbourne: If only this stale trifle didn't call for the bewitching or pixilating, for the abracadabra of a Bullock or a Pfeiffer. For a Cinderella story, it's sorely without magic. |
| USA TodaySusan WloszczynaThe comedy is appealing as Hollywood's umpteenth variation on the Cinderella story, but think about its patrician views of upper-class privilege and you might find it too simplistic for comfort. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliThis film mistakes action for energy, ridiculous circumstances for comedy, and a mismatched male/female pairing for romance. |
| SPLICEDWireRob BlackwelderAn occasionally funny mistaken identity movie in very poor taste. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksLake, in the central role, seems distracted and only nominally interested in what's going on around her. |
| Needcoffee.comWidgett WallsCute and relatively inoffensive. At times, even funny. |
