    Awful remake
  • May 23, 2009
    Pretty silly movie, watched it at school.

    This re-make is as good as the original. Twins who were separated at birth, meet at a summer camp and plot to bring their parents back together. Stars Lindsay Lohan and Dennis Quaid. Good fun movie.

    Sure Lindsay Lohan was cute back then, but Nothing beats the original 1961 version of the parent trap. It doesn't get any better then Mareen O'Hara, Brain Kieth, and Haley Mills.

    I love this movie, it's fun and Lindsay Lohan is doing a good job being two people! There's an older version of this movie that i really want to see.. It's supposed to be much sweeter than this one.

    I LOVE this movie! I adore it! It's heartwarming, it gives me a warm feeling inside and a smile on my face. Lindsay Lohan is so cute and beautiful in it.
    Natasha Richardson and Dennis Quaid are by the way a great couple. The kiss at the end is definitely one of the best movie kisses ever I think.
    Yeah, this is a must see.
    I believe, of all the movies I've seen in my whole life, I've seen this movie the most. Without overacting at least 10 times. And every time I watch it, I love it over and over again.

    It's so sad Natasha Richardson died. But we will never forget her! R.I.P. Natasha
