Rating: 5 stars
Summary: loved it
Review: I love this 1998 version of "The Parent Trap"; it's very much like the 60's version, except with a modern-day setting. It's the same memorable story with a fun present-day coating: 10-year-olds Hallie and Annie are identical twins separated at birth and accidentally reunited at summer camp. With a little work, they manage to switch places and then scheme to get their parents back together. Just like the old film, both twins are played by the same girl. Lindsay Lohan is a very talented young actress with a great future ahead of her; her acting style is very high-energy and shows a lot of ability on her part. It's every bit as fun as the original "Parent Trap"

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Double the Fun
Review: A pair of divorced parents have birthed identical twin girls.One takes one twin,the other takes..well,the other.Each girl grows up(until the age of 11 anyway)not knowing one parent and definitely not knowing that there is another of themselves out there.Until they meet accidentally at an all-girl camp.Yes!,the plot is truly ridiculous,but ignore that and you have a really fun movie!Annie and Hallie are,let's face it..little brats and a half!,and when they get together,watch out!The twins are determined to get their(lets face it,weirdo)parents back together and also play heaps of mean tricks on their father's too-young girlfriend who is a tiny bit of a cow but eventually you feel sorry for her,because 1 brat is one thing.2 is enough.This is a remake of a really old Hayley Mills film.Just as Hayley did,Lindsay Lohan plays both halves of the twin set.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great casting +great acting +great story = ONE AMAZING MOVIE
Review: I am a big fan of family/children's movies, but this is one of my very favorites of all time. Lindsay Lohan sparkles as Annie/Hallie...the casting for every last role was nothing less than perfect. The casting directors definitely deserve two thumbs up for a job well done with this movie.

I have seen the Haley Mills (original) Parent Trap dozens of times (my favorite scene is and always has been, of course, the "Let's Get Together" duet), but the new version really takes the cake. I really like the story line and the way the screenwriters/directors/etc. encorporated the original into this story. For example, when Hallie (or is it Annie) is humming/singing "Let's Get Together" in the elevator...I thought that was a wonderful way to connect this story to the original without it being blunt and in-your-face.

Lohan's Parent Trap easily gets 5 stars from both me AND my husband. Yes, this is one of my husband's favorite movies as well! He was very pleasantly surprised by the charm and sentimentality of this movie and he also loved the casting/acting. Normally, our taste in movies (with the exception of animated Disney movies) is so incredibly different (I like suspense/thrillers and crime dramas whereas he prefers comedies and action movies) but we both ADORE this movie to pieces!

If you liked the original, you'll LOVE the remake (I wouldn't even call it a remake because this movie has it's own story line...it's the same general idea, but the stories are pretty different).

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Parent Trap
Review: This movie is really good. I saw it when I was about 13 years old at the theater. I love it! I like the whole nineties feel of it. The first Parent Trap was okay, but a little out-dated to me. This version is more with the times. And it still has that happy ending the first one had. (I won't give it away!)

I agree with one particular viewer of this movie, when she or he said that Lindsay Lohen did an amazing job playing both twins and it wad her first movie. She did do an amazing job!

I thought the woman who played Hallie and Annie's father's fiance (who was she, anyway?) was hilaurious, espically when they went camping. She banged two sticks together to ward away "mountain lions" I believe it was. And when she sprayed sugar and water on herself, thinking it was bug spray, I couldn't stop laughing.

Go buy this movie. It's one choice you won't regret.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: This is a much better version of the movie than the original
Review: This is a great version of this movie, I personally am a huge Dennis Quaid fan! I think that he was a wonderful actor, this version is much better than the original, it has the charatures all updated. and they work in the current day.

Summary: A Must See
Review: Must see if you love the first Parent trap. It is vey good and has great songs and great acting. Very good.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Poor Remake
Review: The "original" of this film was not the 1961 film made by Walt Disney but a German film made in 1950 called "Das doppelte Lottchen" based on the novel of the same name by Erich Kästner. I recommend that American viewers try to get hold of the superior original version.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Parent Trap.
Review: I just love this movie. It is very sweet, and Lindsay Lohan is just charming. The story is about two young girls who meet at a girls camp, and suddenly realises they are twins. And with that the fun begins, they come up with a plan to get their parents back together: The parent trap. But first the girls have to work team up to overcome the obstacles in their way, like their fathers new girlfriend. This is a warm and cute movie i would recommend for everyone to see. It's perfect for a family home evening, anyone can enjoy this movie.
