Great movie and one that I'm sure will make you shed a tear
A beautiful film has a wonderful story which is about twins Annie and Hallie are strangers until happenstance unites them. Divorced parents, Nick and Elizabeth , are living on opposite sides of the Atlantic, each with one child. After meeting at camp, American Hallie and British-raised Annie an identity swap, giving both the chance to spend time with the parent they've missed. If the scheme works, it might just make the family whole again. But what is wrong with the film is that there are a few sexual innuendos and kisses that are not suitable for children to watch, although the film is supposed to be family movie.
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!
This was a great movie and I absolutely enjoyed both the 1961 and 1998. The plot line was well put and almost better than the book. I'm not sure if this part is a spoiler but in the 1961 movie there is a 'Vicki' and she is engaged to the father, but she also appears in the second movie and introduces herself as 'Aunt Vicki'. Brilliant Disney!
