Jack Vasen This is one of those few movies that I can watch again and again. There are so many parts of it that I love so much. There are so many tender moments. And also so many laugh out louds. I don't LOL much any more for movies or TV, but I do in this movie, even after watching it so many times.Some of my favorite scenes are the firsts for each girl. Hallie seeing London and her mom. Annie seeing California and her dad. Chessy figuring it out and trying to hold back tears. Grandfather at the phone booth. Hallie pulling the covers over head and saying we have to go see Annie. Nick in the elevator seeing Elizabeth. If you can watch all these things and more happen and go "ho hum", I guess you won't like this movie, but for me they all hit me in the gut every time.The choreography, if you can call it that, is wonderful especially at the hotel. Nick tells one girl, Hallie I think, to watch Meredith. Then he runs into Annie on a different floor and isn't quite sure. And it just keeps going.And I haven't even gotten to the tricks the girls played on Cruella. After the face-off between Meredith and Annie, you knew it was going to come to that.Oh Lindsay Lohan, you were so good and then you grew up.Natasha Richardson overplayed some things just a little, especially the drunk. But it still mostly fits in this type of movie. Likewise Simon Kunz.
Aristarcus One week ago I was shopping in a mall (kind of) in Madrid, and I saw an offer that I couldn't refuse: "The Parent Trap" (1998 Lindsay Lohan's version, directed by Nancy Meyers). I bought it, obviously, and I watched it the same night.Delightful! And still fresh.How can anyone say that the first one —with all my respects— is better than this one? I understand that "sobre gustos no hay nada escrito" —"There is no accounting for taste", more or less—, but... come on!Lindsay Lohan is so good! Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson —a pity that she left us so early— are heavenly charming. Chessy (Lisa Ann Walter), the extravagant Martin (Simon Kunz) and the "maleficent" Meredith (Elaine Hendrix), are really funny. What about Ronnie Stevens, the posh English granddaddy!? And, of course, a brilliant idea: the first "Meredith Blake" (I mean "Vicky Robinson"), Joanna Barnes, becomes Meredith's mother —that is, Vicki Blake— in the second.In short, it is a delightful family movie with only one goal: to entertain. And it does.PS. I have to clarify that my votes are not (will never be) based on "artistic qualities" or things like that, but on the movie's ability to amuse me: I'm only a film lover, not a frustrated film maker.
mkimm This is an incredible story of love and growing up. The picture of love this story shows is that two people can be apart from one another for years, for a lifetime, but something heartwarming happens as these two people find each other. This story applies to any story of love and is seen more than one throughout the film. This love is seen when the mother and father realize that their "other" daughters have been living with them for some time. The show is also filled with youthfulness as two young girls creatively put their minds together in the search to bring their parent's marriage together once again. The show takes place as two girls meet up at a summer camp. After running into some trouble and being forced to stay in a detention cabin together the girls realize that they are a sister. They come up with a plan to go back home to the others' house. The girls plan to bring their parents together for a big meeting in efforts to keep the father from marrying his new girlfriend. This is a story of finding true love.
cadenrudolph It was good pretty good casting especially for Lindesay Lohan's first movie but way better than the first Parent Trap my younger sister like absolutely loves and adores this movie she always demands that we watch it on long car trip rides or any kind of road trip actually it is her favorite movie so I am guessing this might actually appeal a lot to younger kids especially girls. So yeah I guess I will always watch it if I have to but not as much as my younger sister wants to definitely! So yeah check it out but then you can go to one of Lindsey Lohan's newer and recent movies or films or releases and see how see just how much she has changed and grew and is now more dirty Hollywood style!
