Rating: Summary: Excellent movie! Review: I like this movie even better than the original! I have seen it 5 times but i still love it! Lindsy Lohan is excellent and so is the rest of the cast!
Rating: Summary: Senior's view of a wonderful story and movie Review: Many of the reviewers below have seen both versions (1961 and 1998) and have indicated a preference for one or the other. Each is excellent, but I have just seen the original (once again), and had forgotten how 'edgy' the Hayley Mills version was: the twins in a physical battle at camp, Maureen O'Hara poking her ex-husband in the eye, and bride-to-be Vicky slapping one of the girls at the end of the film. Also, Hayley was a year or two older than Lindsay Lohan and I prefer the younger twins for overall effectiveness with the story line. Other differences that have me leaning toward the later version are a softer, more romantic tension between the parents, a less abrasive Vicky/Meredith, and more attention to detail in the development of the relationships between the lead characters.So while I give both films five stars (the story line is classic), I prefer the later version (despite Maureen O'Hara at her most beautiful, and a very amusing Leo G. Carroll as the minister). This is one of the few instances where a sequel (or remake) is superior to an excellent original.
Rating: Summary: Good movie, but not as good as the original. Review: Yeah, it's a fun movie, and better than most stuff that Hollywood tries to pass off as "family entertainment". I give it four stars because it's not as good as the Haley Mills original, which was a masterpiece.
Rating: Summary: Lindsay Lohan is incredible! Review: At last a remake that is worthy of, if not better than, the original. And on DVD the film is awesome in both sight and sound. The colors are clear and vibrant and the sound seems to bring you into the movie. Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richarson both have a softer side that is rarely seen in the other roles they have played and Lindsay Lohan is a very exceptional young actress who has no difficulty in playing two parts.
Rating: Summary: This is the best movie that I have ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review: The remake of Disney's The Parent Trap is the best movie that I have ever seen.Lindsay Lohan is very talented and beautiful and this actress has a future.
Rating: Summary: BRILLIANT Review: I thought it was really good. There was really good acting and it was a really believable story. I fell about laughing. If you haven't seen it go know, or you will never forgive yourself. It is utterly, utterly, utterly BRILLIANT!!!
Rating: Summary: Outstanding, lively movie!!!! Review: This movie is excellent. I watched it twice while on a jumbo jet during my trasalantic flights. This movie managed to make me happy at times when I was depressed. There is nothing that can prove better that this is indeed an outstanding movie! Watch it!
Rating: Summary: Great family video, a must see Review: My kids died of laughter, and we all loved watching it. It was absolutely terrific
Rating: Summary: A total copy of the old version Review: The old version is WAAAAAY better. First, the new Parent Trap already had the script. They copied off of Mills/O'Hara/Keith. Second, Elaine Hendrix was not a believable actress; she was an UNbelievable actress. Her screams were forced, she couldn't move around without talking normally, and overall, they should have used someone else. Third, Dennis Quaid was a user, just like Elaine Hendrix. (in the movie) He could have let her down better. NO WONDER THEY FOUND EACHOTHER! Fourth, Natasha Richardson is dull. She has no spunk, especially when she is tricking Meredith into going on the camping trip. If you want to see some spunk, watch the OLD Parent Trap. Although, the casting company did get SOME good actors. Lisa Ann Walter, as Chessie, was casted well. Simon Kunz was believable, although kind of disgusting at times. And Lindsay Lohan did a pretty good job of playing 2 girls. THIS IS AN OUTRAGEOUS PIECE OF FILTH! IF ANYONE BUYS THIS, THEY AREN'T USING THEIR BRAINS! (CAN YOU RATE NEGATIVE?)
Rating: Summary: Great Film for the Whole Family Review: Having read through a few of the reviews for this film, I am suprised to see a few 1 and two star ratings. For me, it has been one of the most heartwarming films I have seen this Year, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Call me sentimental if you will, but the public need to see a few more films of this calibre on their TV Screen.
