Summary: Terrific Family Film
Review: The parent trap is a great movie for several reasons; just like the original movie the main caracter is played excellently by Lindsay Lohan. The other actors are of equally high standard, specially Elaine Hendrix as the bride to be and Lisa Ann Walters as the "butler" of the father. Lisa Ann Walters outclasses her predecessor in the 1961 movie. Director Nancy Meyers has a keen eye for detail which shows in scenes with some great nonverbal communication, for instance the conversation in the garden between Elaine Hendrix and Lindsay Lohan. Dennis Quaid is very convincing as a father with his legendary broad smile and Natascha Richardson is great as the british mother. Another aspect is the way some "adult" items like divorce and seperation are dealt with and yet arevery acceptable for kids. Very moving moments, like the moment Annie reveals her true identity to Chessie (Walters) are pared with hilarious reactions where Chessie shows her affection by offering in the midst of tears to cook something special, while at the same time not degrading the emotional content of that moment. The same goes for Hallie in London. The music is very functional and thanks to VHS a treat to listen to. Visuals are wonderful too. Elaime Hendrix has had the opportunity to play a much more sophisticated opponent making the movie more fun to watch. All in all a must see family movie, perfect for anybody.

Summary: Better than the original
Review: Usually I do not enjoy remakes as much as the original. Not so in this case. This is a fun, modern adaptation of the Haley Mills classic. And, there's a wonderful guest appearance of "Vickey" from the 1st version playing the mother of "Dad's girlfriend" here.

Summary: Very fun!
Review: This movie is fun and funny! I like the part where Hallie and her 2 buddies at Camp start a war with Amy and HER 2 buddies! It's funny where the Hallie group starts messing up Amy's cabin: Strings allll over the place, Sticky floor with glue and tar, a bucket full of sticky syrup which would fall on you if you open the door, and lots of yucky stuff! It's really funny!
I rated this 4 stars because you'll kind of get tired after watching it alot.That's my opinion. Other people wouldn't think so, maybe. Butyou should buy this one! It's a fantastic movie!

Summary: Cute, fun Disney remake film!
Review: I think this remake of THE PARENT TRAP is a lot better than the original, though the original was pretty good, too. This film is based on the 1961 film by the same title. The movie probably could've found real twins for this, but I guess they wanted to try and make it like the original by getting in one actress to play a double role of the twins. In this version, Hallie Parker and Annie James are the twins and they are played by newcomer, Lindsay Lohan. Dennis Quaid plays Hallie's father, and Natasha Richardson plays Annie's mother.Hallie and Annie look exactly alike - they are really twins - and they end up meeting each other at a summer camp. Though they look exactly alike, they are completely different. Hallie is from California, and Annie is from England. When they realize that their parents were once married and they are sisters, they decide to switch places (Annie will go home with Hallie's father and Hallie will go home with Annie's mother at the end of camp) and try to get their parents back together before a snobish beauty, Meredith Blake (Elaine Hendrix) marries Hallie's father for his wealth. This film also co-stars Lisa Ann Walter as Chessy, the Parkers' housekeeper, and Simon Kunz as Martin, the James' butler. THE PARENT TRAP is even funnier than the original, with more laughs and is very lighthearted. A feel-good comedy that you won't want to miss!

Summary: Unrealistic can be good!
Review: This is a classic. Every time I watch it, it's as good as the first time I saw it in the theater. I love the camp setting. The girls come from such great backrounds,though they may be a bit unrealistic. Sometimes when you watch a movie it's so unrealistic it's almost annoying. In this movie I think the plot is so strong and fun,that the fact that this would probably never happen in real life is what makes the movie more creative and exciting. This movie also makes every girl want to be a twin,as it portrays all of the wonderful parts of being one. This is a great story for everyone.

Summary: great
Review: The new parent trap happened to be a favorite of mine, accounted for on the part of names (my name is Hall but I go by Hallie) I think that this movie turned out to be really great. A lot of people have been thinking that this new one is better than the old one, but if you stop and think about it, you will relize the change in technology. Hayley Mills probably had a much harder time acting two roles because they did not have the technology such as the advanced blue screen(actress can see her reflection/image while doing a different part) and many other details. The new colors were vivid, while the old movie had colors just as vivid for their time period. I think that both of the parent trap movies were wonderful, but neither is better than the other; it is an unfair judgement because there have been so many changes in moviemaking

Summary: fine remake
Review: Although the much-loved original still holds up, 1998's THE PARENT TRAP is fine family entertainment. Hallie and Annie (played by newcomer Lindsay Lohan), discover that they are twins while at summer camp, and try to bring their divorced parents back together by switching places. Natasha Richardson and Dennis Quaid make a charming romantic couple as the parent, while the role of the money-grubbing fiancee of the father is played by Elaine Hendrix with verve. ***Interesting point - Joanna Barnes, who played the fiancee, Vicky, in the original, plays the fiancee's mother, who's also called Vicky! Superb casting choice for lovers of the original!*** Lohan gives an uncanny performance, as one twin comes from California and the other from London. She switches accents wonderfully. Keeping intact David Swift's original script, but adding some modern touches, this new version of THE PARENT TRAP is just as magical as the Hayley Mills original.

Summary: Adorable, enchanting, beautiful!
Review: I'm an adult guy, just like one of the previous reviewer, and I love this movie. I have always liked Disney's magical films; it always brings out the child from me. And that's a wonderful feeling. I also watched the original movie: what can I say? The 1998 version is light years ahead not for the more advanced computer technology, but the script is simply fantastic. I have read it several times. The acting is so much better that it's hard to describe. Lindsay Lohan is wonderful, enchanting, adorable. Dennis Quaid and the rest of the cast outshine everybody combined in the original release. It is touching, uplifting. Every time I watch this film, soon I realize, or someone else in my family, that I have a smile on my face. I can't help it. Often it is very deeply emotional, touching our inner most souls, evoking tears in our eyes. The 1960 release never affected me this way, no matter how many times I have seen it. All in all, I recomend this movie to everybody: young and old, who still can appreciate clean style, good dialogues, action, suspens. Even if the story is predictable, it is immensly enjoyable. I also agree with one of the reviewer that Disney should release a special edition DVD with director commentary and behind the scene featurette. I'd love to see more of this kind of beautiful movies from Hollywood. I gave five stars to this but only because that was the highest. Ten thumbs up!!!
