This film is pretty amazing from start to finish. The Parent Trap is very entertaining and has a simple and fun storyline. It is generally very enjoyable and the acting is really great, especially the twins and Merideth. It is definitely a film for all ages to enjoy.

I don't know why other posters have said this movie is cute, romantic, filled with heart etc. These two parents had twins and each took one and never let them know about each other or know about the other parent. The mother took one back to England and the father kept one in AmericaThen the kids meet at 11yrs old at a camp in America (as if kids from London want to go to camps there?) and decide thy want their parents back together. The father has a new fiancé (who he also didn't introduce to his daughter until 2 weeks before their wedding? (who does that other than someone selfish?)). His new fiancé is only after him for his money and he is only after her for the bedroom antics and "young trophy wife" benefits. Again selfishness all around the two kids. Even when his daughter says she always wanted a mother he still didn't tell her she has a mother. The fiancé is quickly removed from the scene by the two kids ganging up on her and her showing her true colors. In the end the girls get what they want and the parents end up together seemingly romantically and forever (because we can expect that from selfish people in a Hollywood movie).

I always liked this film, it was innocent and fun, it was a cute movie and I miss Linsey Lohan like this, before she went downhill, when she was an adorable 12 year old who had a promising future and Hallie and Annie, twins in this great remake of the original from 1961, except of course it tries to modernize the story, make it more realistic for today's audience. Dennis Quid is adorable, Natasha Richardson (RIP) is beautiful, Lisa Ann Walter and Simon Kunz who plays Chessy and Martin, respectively were awesome. It's good, actually, but it will never be as good as the original, of course.

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.
