Storyline

"Just because they are identical does not mean these twins even like each other. Estranged twin sisters get together for an obligatory pre-Christmas lunch, a year after their mother's death. Both women are unhappy and frustrated with their own lives. Though not close, each is envious of the other's life. What's a twin to do but take advantage of this? And who would be the wiser? They do what any identical twins in need of new outlooks would do: they swap lives until Christmas Day, and by doing so, each woman discovers the true meaning of her life and gains a deeper perspective and appreciation for what she already had."

Trivia

The characters spend a lot of time talking about the distance between Denver and Littleton and ask how often people get "up to Littleton" from Denver.

In reality, Littleton is a suburb located approximately ten miles southwest of Denver and is considered part of the Denver metropolitan area. Further, usual geographic convention would dictate one would say they went "down to Littleton."

Goofs

Right when the movie starts and Bure is going to work she has on a long beige coat. When she gets on the escalator she is wearing a parka with fur on the hood. When she gets to the top of the escalator and walks into her office, she is wearing the long beige coat again.

2020 Update

Nice HM movie staring Candace Cameron Bure. While I like the movie some of it just doesn't work for me. On an aside, this movie was #17 of the top 25 movies for Christmas In July!
