BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

elainehowie 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.

Matt Greene As corny and ridiculous as all get out...but still, there's an undeniable, good-natured charm to everything thanks to the fluffiness of the tone and a lovely performance by Lohan. And the nanny is the absolute best.

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.

NateWatchesCoolMovies I will never not love Disney's The Parent Trap. It's pure escapist fun with a delightful setup that pays off big time with laughs, heart and and a classic story of mistaken identity. Lindsey Lohan, back when she still resembled a human being, is endlessly adorable as both sides of a set of twins, separated at birth, who meet serendipitously at summer camp. Hallie is a laid back California chick with attitude to spare, and Annie a buttoned down, introverted London gal. They cross paths, become the best of friends and each begin to yearn for the parent they never had. Soon they hatch a cunning plan to switch places on their parents in hopes of getting them back together. At the end of the summer Annie goes back to Napa Valley as Halley, and Halley to London, as Annie. That's when the fun really begins. Dennis Quaid displays his easygoing charm and mile wide smile as their father, a vineyard owner, and Natasha Richardson (RIP:() is heavenly as their radiant mother, a wedding dress designer. Veteran DOP Dean Cundey expertly sails through London archways and sweeping sun dappled valleys, creating a gorgeous playground for the actors to bring this excellent comedy, with surprisingly mature emotional beats, to life. The plot draws us in further as the girls attempt to sabotage Quaid's wedding to a horrible gold digging banshee (Elaine Hendrix, syrupy slime). It's all set to a lighthearted comforting rhythm, and looks fantastic on scree. I grew up with this one, and keep revisiting it again and again.
