Really Surprised!
Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant
Dreadfully Boring
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
A beautiful film has a wonderful story which is about twins Annie and Hallie are strangers until happenstance unites them. Divorced parents, Nick and Elizabeth , are living on opposite sides of the Atlantic, each with one child. After meeting at camp, American Hallie and British-raised Annie an identity swap, giving both the chance to spend time with the parent they've missed. If the scheme works, it might just make the family whole again. But what is wrong with the film is that there are a few sexual innuendos and kisses that are not suitable for children to watch, although the film is supposed to be family movie.
I watched this remake of parent trap in 1998 when I was a kid and enjoyed it very much. Recently, I watched it again when I was babysitting a child, and, surprisingly, I enjoyed it as much I did when I first saw it. This is a movie that you just watch it and enjoy, do not think hard about the plot or twists because you will easily find many flaws, so if you are looking for a two hour movie to relax and laugh then this is a film for you. young Lindsey Lohan performs well as both the twins, she was cute and had the charisma to make the audience fall in love with her. I didn't see the original to compare the remake with it, but I can say that the actors in this film do their job fine ( but definitely not great). The film is quit long for a kids movie, but I think that you can watch it without looking at your watch. All in all, if you are looking for a movie to watch with your family and kids and enjoy, parent trap will not disappoint you!
The parents trapThis is an interesting film. I loved it. Lindsay Lohan acted in main character, who is my favorite actor. The end of the film I'm so excited. It was so delighted and lovely. I think it is the best film I have seen before.
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.
