...today, no one can overlook the outstanding performance that she delivered in the Parent Trap- hence marking cinematographic history both for the film and for herself as one of Disney’s leading favourite family comedy actresses. The Parent Trap is an extremely, extremely entertaining film: I have watched both versions and the plots are extremely original, heartwarming and funny. But I prefer this version mainly because of the astonishing and nearly ...

Review of The Parent Trap (DVD)

We've had The Parent Trap in our DVD collection for quite some while but it's only recently that my two young daughters have discovered it. In a very short time though they seem to have become quite addicted to this lovely feel good film produced by the Disney Studios. It is also rather poignant to watch the film at the moment as one of the stars is Natasha Richardson who has of course recently and tragically died. The main star of the film is a ...

They are twins who were separated soon after they were born when their parents divorced each looking after one of the girls. Unexpectedly the girls meet up at a summer camp and although they initially don't get on, once they realise who they are, they decide to swap places with each other. They hope that they might be able to get their parents back ...

...Natasha Richardson). Lindsay Lohan plays the twins (Hallie Parker and Annie James) in her Child-actor form who performs in this role extremely well and brings a sense of love and family values to her character. This is a well known film as it is a remake of the classic made in 1961. however, if I had to compare the two films. I would have to say that the 1998 version was the best in terms of reflection of contemporary lifestyle. The story line is ...

...some free time to watch the films I put once to my list but had no time to watch them. Yesterday I have chosen The Parent Trap. Previously I have seen another success film of Nancy Meyers and I wanted to check this film of hers. This family film was produced in 1998 but the original one was made in 1961. I haven’t seen the original one just this new version. Well, new is not the best word for it as this film is eleven years old now. It was quite ...

...book written by Erich Kästner. The original was a Disney film directed by David swift. Hayley Mills played the twins, Maureen O'Hara the mother and Brian Keith played the father. Because of the lack of technology at the time, most of it was filmed with body doubles when the 'twins' were needed in shots together. In the original, 1 twin lives in LA and the other in Chicago. The remake is the film I will concentrate on. It is also Disney but directed ...

Review of The Parent Trap (DVD)

Let's Get together and compare the two films.....Parent Trap l998 and the Original 1961 version which I saw as a child. Hayley Mills starred in the 1961 version playing her part charismatically, albeit whilst wearing a horrendous wig throughout most of the film. The parents here are Maureen O'Hara as mum Maggie living with twin one in Boston New England and Brian Keith playing Mitch the father who lives with twin two on a magnificent ranch in California. ...
...efforts are thwarted however with the realisation that Mitch is about to remarry the local golddigger Vicki. The twins do all they can to sabotage the relationship and without spoiling the plot too much......I can tell you that all's well that ends well. The l998 version follows much along the same lines except that in this case the father owns a Californian Vineyard and the mother lives in London, England. The girls here are ll and are played by ...

...with her father in California. The two had been separated at birth when the parents divorced. At the end of the Summer Camp Annie went to California and Hallie went to London. The two girls scheme to bring their parents back together and in the process also stop their father marrying the money grabbing Meredith Blake. The girls are played brilliantly by Lindsay Lohan and it is filmed so well that it is easy to believe that there really are twins. ...
...This is not the type of film that I would normally watch, but my wife was watching it whilst I was reading. Before long I had put down the newspaper and become engrossed in this film. It is very well made. Of course a lot of it is very predictable, but it is put together in a very entertaining and funny way. The film is advertised as a children’s movie, but this shouldn’t stop adults watching it as there are a few lessons here from the ...

Review of The Parent Trap (DVD)

Although I enjoyed the original Parent Trap I find the new one to be one of the best remakes I have seen done of a film. Along with its outstanding soundtrack, Lindsey Lohan is absolutely irrestible in this charming movie about twins separated at birth who meet at 11 years of age. Annie James grew up in sophisticated England with her gorgeous, easy to fall in love with mother who designs wedding gowns for highly prestigious people. Hallie Parker, ...

Naturally, the two meet and after quite a rocky start become friends and discover they have more in common than just identical looks. Once they realize the truth about their connection, the girls decide to switch places to try and trap their parents into a position where they ...

The first time I ever saw this film when I was about ten, I fell in love with it. Its really is such a great idea for a story line, and includes a great soundtrack as well as great actors. The young Lindsay Lohan is so cute! It is by far one of my favourite films, even though I'm now 17. Proving that it is loved by all ages. The special effects are brilliant.
