The Parent Trap (1998)

If you were a kid in the early 1960s, then you saw The Parent Trap with Hayley Mills--it's as simple as that. Now Disney has pulled the beloved comedy--about a pair of twins who meet for the first time at summer camp and vow to reunite their long-divorced parents--out of the mothballs and remade it with a decidedly '90s feel. This time, the twins act is performed by newcomer Lindsay Lohan, who plays both Hallie and Annie, who each live with one of their parents (Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson). Adversaries when they first meet at camp, Hallie and Annie become, well, sisters when they figure out that they are siblings. The comedy springs from their efforts to sabotage Dad's impending marriage to the gold-digging Elaine Hendrix, while reintroducing Dad to Mom. Quaid has a nice, loosey-goosey way with slapstick, as does Richardson, who plays a very funny drunk scene. --Marshall Fine Amazon.com

I absolutely loved this movie. Lindsay Lohan was great. It is a great family movie. I would recommend it to all ages. I have watched it twice so far and my grandkids liked it also. July 26, 2008

Cute and very well done

Based on Erich Kastner's book and a 1961 movie, which takes place in other locations is a changed one, although it starts almost the same as the book, it changes to a modern type of fairytale style.

The real amazment however comes from the selection of one actress (like the movie from 1961) to play two parts and it's implametation, unlike the Olsen twin movies, and enhancing it to a perfectly done technological breakthrough that REALLY makes you think the two characters are two girls.

The DVD is worth buying if you like TONS of special features about the movie and how it was done, and belive me, this one defenatly delivers.

On a sadder note, Lindsay Lohan seem innocent enough to play the part at that age but ten years later she ends up like many actresses and actors, in and out of rehab, which really makes you wonder if it is worth it and make you swear NEVER to send your kid to "the businness" in Hollywood or glamour anywhere else.

Good Family Entertainment, Well Done.

There is a solid storyline, the production and the acting supports it well. It is fun to watch for the 3rd time too, and it keeps the attention of adults as well. This is quality family entertainment.
