invisibleunicornninja This movie is cheesy and dumb. There are lots of plot holes and bad acting. Overall this movie is entertaining. I wouldn't recommend it, but if you have to watch it then go ahead..

abdbraik I watched this remake of parent trap in 1998 when I was a kid and enjoyed it very much. Recently, I watched it again when I was babysitting a child, and, surprisingly, I enjoyed it as much I did when I first saw it. This is a movie that you just watch it and enjoy, do not think hard about the plot or twists because you will easily find many flaws, so if you are looking for a two hour movie to relax and laugh then this is a film for you. young Lindsey Lohan performs well as both the twins, she was cute and had the charisma to make the audience fall in love with her. I didn't see the original to compare the remake with it, but I can say that the actors in this film do their job fine ( but definitely not great). The film is quit long for a kids movie, but I think that you can watch it without looking at your watch. All in all, if you are looking for a movie to watch with your family and kids and enjoy, parent trap will not disappoint you!

Aristarcus One week ago I was shopping in a mall (kind of) in Madrid, and I saw an offer that I couldn't refuse: "The Parent Trap" (1998 Lindsay Lohan's version, directed by Nancy Meyers). I bought it, obviously, and I watched it the same night.Delightful! And still fresh.How can anyone say that the first one —with all my respects— is better than this one? I understand that "sobre gustos no hay nada escrito" —"There is no accounting for taste", more or less—, but... come on!Lindsay Lohan is so good! Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson —a pity that she left us so early— are heavenly charming. Chessy (Lisa Ann Walter), the extravagant Martin (Simon Kunz) and the "maleficent" Meredith (Elaine Hendrix), are really funny. What about Ronnie Stevens, the posh English granddaddy!? And, of course, a brilliant idea: the first "Meredith Blake" (I mean "Vicky Robinson"), Joanna Barnes, becomes Meredith's mother —that is, Vicki Blake— in the second.In short, it is a delightful family movie with only one goal: to entertain. And it does.PS. I have to clarify that my votes are not (will never be) based on "artistic qualities" or things like that, but on the movie's ability to amuse me: I'm only a film lover, not a frustrated film maker.

Python Hyena The Parent Trap (1998): Dir: Nancy Meyers / Cast: Lindsay Lohan, Dennis Quaid, Natasha Richardson, Polly Holiday, Elaine Hendrix: Remake of 1961 classic referring to twins who conspire to bring their parents back together. They are a symbol of meaning to both adults. Twins discover their birthright at summer camp after their parents split fourteen years ago. In an attempt to get them back together they switch places. The outcome is so obvious that when one character says, "Who would've thought, my nanny, your butler?" Directed by Nancy Meyers who remains faithful to the original despite the little if anything the film really offers. What it does present is a great double performance by a leading lady who gives the film more than it deserves. Lindsay Lohan chews scenery as the twins despite travelling ground that has been travelled. Thankfully her charm elevates it but doesn't save it. Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson play the typical parental figures. Three years prior to this Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen starred in the dreary It Takes Two as if changing the title would create a sense of originality. It was the same stupid pitiful storytelling that this tired remake would attempt to capitalize upon. Of course, this film is aimed at children who may delight in Lohan's ability to do what it took two Olsens to do. Pointless sequel proves that Hollywood has fallen into a trap of no good ideas. Score: 3 ½ / 10
