It's so enjoyable to watch a roll and think of just how funny it must have been for everyone on set. Also, how enjoyable it must have been to just play this character of the Duchess because man oh man did it look like a lot of fun!
"Splitting Heirs" tells the story of Tommy. A man who grew up thinking he belonged in one place, but learned of his true family and had to try and think of a round about way of telling those involved. This is because Henry, the child Tommy was switched with, was raised to become the next Duke and after the misfortune of the current Duke's death he is made just that. Now in order for Tommy to get his title the current Duke must die.
It's really hard to tell the plot without getting confused but it plays out so well, and is really funny! It's also a plus to see baby face Catherine Zeta Jones running around and being totally side judged by Barbara! Even when Barbara is busy hitting on Tommy, not knowing it's really her son, you can't help but start dying of laughter.
Another plus is that it also had Sadie Frost! Most people will remember her from being Lucy in 1992's Dracula or the first wife to Jude Law. I've been a fan of her's for years... actually, she's one of my very early girl crushes (thank you Dracula). Actually, this is bad because now I think I want to go see what she's been acting in recently but no! Must finish the Hersh's filmography timeline!
Anyways, I hadn't watched this film in a long while, but i now remember how much I really enjoy it!
