Phoebe Cates was very cute in the lead role of "Mary Baker/Princess Cariboo." The story was a nice one, too, with no complaints about inappropriate language or behavior.
Kevin Kline supplies many of the laughs, at least with me. I preferred him over John Lithgow or Jim Broadbent.
This is supposedly based on a true story but I am going to assume they took a lot of liberties with it. Nonetheless, it's a story and a decent for "the whole family," as the cliché goes. However, I think this is mostly appealing to females. I found it pleasant, but more of a "chick flick" than a guy's film. Thus, I doubt I would watch it again, especially knowing the surprise ending.
I definitely recommend this comedy-drama-romance for people who haven't seen it, and for most people who are not adult males.
