Excruciating, impossible comedy, an adaptation of Cornell Woolrich's story "I Married a Dead Man", concerns homeless, pregnant, and incredibly naive young woman (Ricki Lake, three years after debuting as a TV chat-show hostess) coming in contact with a wealthy Bostonian family who believe she's a relative of theirs. The wonderful cast includes Brendan Fraser, Shirley MacLaine, and an unbilled Paula Prentiss, but not even their lively efforts can make this script easy to swallow. Story previously filmed in 1950 and 1982; this version seems to have a case of "While You Were Sleeping"-itis, but Lake, while amiable, doesn't have the soft charm or the innate presence to carry a big movie like this. ** from ****
