Wonderful character development!

Captivating movie !

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Oh, the nostalgia! "The Parent Trap" is my kind of movie. Why? I love sweet, funny movies, it came out the year I was born (I basically grew up with it) and, since my childhood, I always wished I had a twin sibling. The film itself is FANTASTIC. Lindsay Lohan and the supporting actors were great, it actually looked like Lindsay Lohan had a twin, the story was both funny and touching. I LOVE IT!!!! I have no idea why this movie has a 70% audience approval on rotten tomatoes. It deserves at least a 90!As for a flaw, there was one. I wish we spent more time at the camp with the twins. That was the film's best part!

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!

I don't know why other posters have said this movie is cute, romantic, filled with heart etc. These two parents had twins and each took one and never let them know about each other or know about the other parent. The mother took one back to England and the father kept one in AmericaThen the kids meet at 11yrs old at a camp in America (as if kids from London want to go to camps there?) and decide thy want their parents back together. The father has a new fiancé (who he also didn't introduce to his daughter until 2 weeks before their wedding? (who does that other than someone selfish?)). His new fiancé is only after him for his money and he is only after her for the bedroom antics and "young trophy wife" benefits. Again selfishness all around the two kids. Even when his daughter says she always wanted a mother he still didn't tell her she has a mother. The fiancé is quickly removed from the scene by the two kids ganging up on her and her showing her true colors. In the end the girls get what they want and the parents end up together seemingly romantically and forever (because we can expect that from selfish people in a Hollywood movie).

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.
