Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic
Review: This movie was very cute. Althought things have changed from the original, but movie is still great! The girl who plays the lead is purely wonderful! This is a movie of all ages and fun to watch. You can't help but watch this movie. Dennis Quaid is great in the movie. It's just a wonderful cast, for a wonderful movie!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Wonderful Romantic Comedy!
Review: I have not seen the original, but this is an absolutely wonderful movie!

While no movie is ever perfect and if you wanted to really look for them you could find a few flaws, why spoil it?

The cast and preformances are first rate. The script is excellent and it is filled with a lot of nice little touches (Annie, disguised as Hallie wearing a t-shirt for her father's vineyard. Sammy the dog knowing that it wasn't Hallie who came home. Grandfather James having Martin give Annie a pack of cards as she went to camp. Hallie's (disugised as Annie) knowledge of wine when dining at her mother's)

As for the most commonly cited flaw in this movie: Two parents splitting up and splitting thier twins. The general impression I get is that when Nick and Elizabeth's marriage broke up neither side was ready for it and they improvised. People going through divorces are not always the most rational in the first place.

The bottom line is, this is a great movie for all ages. It has characters who are likable and who you wish you could meet in real life. When a book or movie meets that threshold it's special.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great, sweet film
Review: Loved this film, Lindsey Lohan is sensational. A funny clever actress who got both parts so right. I have seen the original many times but i much prefer this. Although they twins are younger then Susan and Sharon, they are much more knowing ( the scenes between Hallie as Annie and Meredith,)- they are kids of the 90's, where divorce affects most children. I love the subtle displays of insecurity, Hallies "cuppy" and Annie's small appeitite. The sound track was perfect, and moving to context with the scenes. ( Here comes the Sun as Hallie, goes to the studio with the Mum she just met.)

I loved Natasha Richardson too, the mother and Nick's girlfreind are successful career woman, Dennis Quaid is great too. This version makes the original look old fashioned and Haliey Mills seem very stiff and proper.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WOW!)
Review: This is very good, it's a lot like It Takes Two, the movie staring the olsen twins, the two are very simialar. This one stars Lindsay Lohan as herself, twice! the girls meet at a summer camp and decide to switch places so they can meet the mom or dad that theve never met, plus try to get them back togeather, but the dad is about to marry a young woman who hates kids. Pretty Good.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Parent Trap, Traps The Hearts And Minds
Review: This might not seem the way I am but I love this movie. This remake of the 1961 Disney comedy about seperated twins which is Lindsay Lohan in a duel role in the "Parent Trap of 1998". The first thing noticable that makes this movie so terrific is it being so hilarious. The whole movie is filled with laughter also having beautiful, emotional scenes that just makes you want to cry. Lindsay Lohan had a tough role but played it wonderful and the parents Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson also play sensitive and outstanding parts in the film. The plot is difficult, but when you find the solution to it, it is one of the most beautiful scenes I have ever seen. This movie is recommendable to people of all ages. If I had the chance I would watch it everyday over anything. Whoever has this kind of personality and loves all the contents of this movie should absolutely see it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great family movie
Review: My wife loved the original Parent Trap and has watched it counteless times. When the new one was released we assumed that, like most re-makes, it would not be as good. It's actually as good if not better. We've probably watched the new one 10 times now and each time we enjoy it more(and my wife laughs hysterically and cries at all of the same places). It's one of the few movies to be released lately that contains no violence, sexual innuendos, or foul language. Our daughter, who's not even two yet, even loves to watch this film.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: HAYLEY MILLS ROCKS,LINDSAY LOHAN SUCKS
Review: I HATE the new Parent trap.It's boring,useless and can't even compare with the original.Annie and Hallie's differences are only visible in the remake,if you look closely in the original you can see that Sharon is extremely naive and innocent while Susan is more alert to the real world.Also I can find there is no real spark between Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson like there is between Maureen O'Hara and Brian Keith in '61.Camp Inch was also much more lively and fun than Camp Walden is in '98.Lindsay Lohan has only acted in 2 movies since the start of her career while Hayley Mills is one of the most famous childstars that ever ever existed.The remake should never have been allowed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's better the second time around!
Review: People are outraged that I like the '98 version of THE PARENT TRAP better than the original. Let me briefly explain why: 1) It's more palatable to modern-day standards (no child slapping, for example) 2) There are less sub-standard characters in the remake (the grandmother was taken out among others) 3) Lindsay Lohan. You can say what you will about Hayley Mils, but unfortunately Hayley was playing 2 sisters from different parts of the US, and her English accent kept bleeding through. Lindsay did an astonishing job not only playing 2 characters, but playing an American AND English (W/accent INTACT), and then playing these sisters pretending to be each other (sort've pulling a Hayley Mills while she was Annie trying to be Hallie and slipping up!) And it IS a very engaging film! When I first saw the remake, I DID weep during the scene where the sisters discover their parents and their situation.. Somebody made the suggestion "Don't rent it, buy it! " I say "Don't buy it , take up STOCK in it! You'll want to own the RIGHTS to this movie!" It's that good!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent!
Review: This movie is one of the best I've seen. I'm 14 years old and I've seen plenty of movies, but this is one of the best. To me this is better than the original. The directing is great, the acting is superb(especially Lindsay Lohan as Hallie/Annie). The chemistry between the characters in this one os better than in the original. The cinematography is very good(such as in the scene on the yacht, a very romantic glow)and the camp on the lake. I recommend this movie definitely.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Wonderful Film!
Review: In this re-make of the Halley Mills classic, I was surprised to find that everything was ship-shape: the acting was superb, the directing was great, the dialogue (though lacking in some areas) was Ok, and over-all it was great fun! The movie centers around two young teen-age girls who meet at summer camp and discover that they are actually twins, sperated at birth! The girls eagerly switch places, in hopes of getting their divorced parents back together. Of course, there are complications...great movie that makes the unbelievable plot, well, believeable, with the great acting and script. Way worth watching!
