All things considered, both of the twins seem to have walked away from the car crash relatively fine for the most part. Which is complete nonsense given the severe injury we see that one of them sustained and the movie taking place only over the course of 5 days. One twin just got some scratches while the other got a cartoon bump on her head and a leg wound that's bleeding like a geyser. Really she should be dead -- with that much blood loss it would only take minutes after a ruptured femoral artery. Especially with how much time must've passed before help arrived (given how long it would've taken for one twin to undress the other, undress herself, and switch their outfits right down to a pair of hoop earrings all while the dying twin is unconscious).
Yet about 4 days after waking up from a coma she is up and active, running around, fighting, and rock repelling with no pain, limp, or ache to speak of on any part of her body. Same thing with the other twin.
On another thing... After the comatose twin wakes up with amnesia and the daughter says to everybody in the room that she could prove which one is her mom, I naively thought the movie was going to do something logical instead of the nonsense it went with. Like maybe she can't prove that the twin with no memories is her mom, but she can absolutely prove that the twin with all of her memories is NOT her mom -- thus proving the other one is by default -- just by quizzing her with stuff that she, as her mother, should know, and as her aunt, wouldn't know:
Some POSITIVES however:
Charisma Carpenter is very pretty to look at (blessed with symmetrically defined features as if sculpted by an artist) and like Sarah Michelle Gellar will probably never really look her age (except maybe back when they were 20). And she does a really good job differentiating between the twins, with her performance at least. The hair and costume departments didn't even seem to try. And the idea of having the daughter discover the truth by hearing the comatose person subtly hum was a really great touch.
...
Well I guess that was it for the positives.

- Publicly verifiable things like the names of schools she's attended; teachers she had a hard time with; pediatrician; family trips; her dad's middle name or birthdate; her parent's anniversary; her mom's SSN...
- Or personal questions like any of her childhood firsts, or favorites...
- Or even throw her off with lies her real mom would call her out on like having tattoos or supposed secrets...
- Or she could simply just sing that one song that only she and her mom knew -- the same one that she heard her humming in her coma that clued her in in the first place. -
