Kids + parents enjoyed it together

Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2016

Verified Purchase

My kids are 9 (boy) and 7 (girl) and they both loved it, and so did we. I grew up loving the Haley Mills version and this one is just as fun. Lindsay Lohan, still so full of prmise at this point of her career, is adorable in both roles. It's challenging finding movies that the grown-ups enjoy watching alongside the kiddos but this is that rare gem. Highly recommend. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that it runs ling and gets slow toward the end, which makes it tough for kids to stick with. Regardless it's still charming and sweet with a fun storyline, providing the perfect time-filler for a long plane ride.

A MAGICAL ROMANCE MOVIE WITH KIDS INVOLVED

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2016

This is best movie that Nency Meyers ever made so far and also her debut film as well.
It was heart warming film as well as funny at the same time. It made me so happy and made me smile all through the movie and I felt so good for the whole evening.
Nency made movies like <THE INTERN><IT's COMPLICATED><SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE><WHAT WOMEN WANTS>. She also wrote <FATHER OF THE BRIDE 1,2> for her husband as well.
As seeing her movie, she must have grown from the happiest family in her life for sure.
When watching her movies, I always feel that happy feeling and that's her charactor I think.
I'm not gonna tell anything about this movie since so many people already said so much about it but just one thing, this is not a kid movie.
Also the music was really good.
It's agreat romantic film with kids involved in a magical way. You must watch it.

Fun remake of a classic

Great family movie and remake of the original version. Watched it with my 7 & 8 year old daughters and everyone enjoyed it. I'm glad they're finally old enough to move out the realm of cartoon movies and into slightly more mature movies that the whole family can enjoy.

When Lindsey Lohan was so beautiful and had so much potential! Seriously, this remake of the sixties classic stands on its own-and we can never decide which version is better! Both are amazing! This stood out because of the incredible talents of the lovely, much missed Natasha Richardson-so elegant; and the brand new little actress who truly amazed and later became famous for all the wrong reasons. Lindsey was a star and matched up perfectly next to very seasoned actors. Clearly this ensemble cast worked well together and the story and filming were top quality. A joy to watch over and over!

This is a nice family movie. I've seen it many times and still enjoy it. The movie has some funny scenes in it. I like this remake better than the original movie, more up to date.

hello,
this version is a wonderful remake of the original from 55 years ago. because it has been updated with scenes and attire, it seems a lot more interesting. despite what the modern day main star is doing now, she was a great actress at this stage in her interesting career. does san francisco and the bay area make any movie better? it does for us. the acting by all of the stars was just fabulous. actually, dennis quaid's girlfriend does look like "cruella." a great movie for all ages...

I grew up on this movie as a kid and know it still word for word. It just so happen by chance lately I had been searching movies and came across this one. My 5 year old wanted to watch it. We have now watched it 4x since this past weekend. He passes up brand new movies to watch this movie. Most my friends like the original which I haven't fully sat down to watch long enough.

Very funny and sweet movie. Great job from the cast.

Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2012

I remember seeing the trailer for The Parent Trap in the summer of 1998. I had already seen and enjoyed the original 1961 movie but was quite impressed by what I had seen in the trailer. Unlike many of the remakes that are coming out these days, this looked quite refreshing and an unexpected hit from Disney. So when I finally saw the film two times in the theater that August, I couldn't have been more impressed. Yes, this maybe the only movie to date that I viewed in the theater twice and for my vote, it was for good reason.

This is a fun, witty and sweet little movie that I continue to enjoy. A lot of this is due to Disney getting Nancy Myers to co-write the screenplay and direct the film. She had been writing screenplays for years by this time and even had a few hits in her resume, Father Of The Bride Parts 1 and 2 being the most successful. To make her directorial debut, she agreed to helm a remake of the classic 1961 film for Disney. They couldn't have hired anyone better. A tremendous talent in screen writing and directing and deserves to be placed with Frank Capra, Preston Sturges and Billy Wilder. While this is you could say a children's film, Myers provides enough class and wit that people of all ages can enjoy it.

As for the cast, everyone did a great job and bring a lot of humor and sensitivity to the characters. Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson was amazing casting and both play the mother and father roles in the most believable way. I enjoy their scenes together. Of course, there is the delightful Lindsey Lohan. I really don't know what to say about her personally but as an actress, she is a remarkable talent and this movie shows it. I remember being impressed by the trailer at her capabilities to pull it off. She's quirky, fresh and fun to watch in both roles as Hallie and Annie.

Dean Cundey was the cinematographer on this film who is known for his wide variety of work, from Halloween (1978) to The Thing (1982), from Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) to Jurassic Park (1993), from Apollo 13 (1995) to The Parent Trap. Because of his brilliance, he was brought in for the film's amazing technical work. Montion control had been used before many times and even Nancy Myers herself has said that she wasn't sure how it works but it is used to astonishing effect here. With Lohan's talent to play the wisecracking Hallie and proper Annie, motion control allows you to appreciate the differences in the two twins and also, the similarities. My favorite shot in the movie is when Lohan as both Hallie and Annie are looking in the mirror after Annie gets her hair cut. A one shot that gives the young actress in both roles a chance to walk in and out of frame as well as give lots of dialog.

All in all, this is a great movie in my opinion. It's a feel good movie with a lot of charm and as I say class that I highly recommend it. Rent it or better yet, buy it if you ever get the chance.

Yes I enjoyed this version of the film too which contrasts with the earlier version starring Brian Keith. Lindsay Lohan is well chosen for this part and plays 'both of the twins' well. The scenery and lifestyles of the parents are depicted well. The male parent lives in Nappa Valley and the Lady (with her Dressmaking Business - wedding gowns) living with the grandfather in a posh part of London. People watching this will think that the lifestyle depicted for lady (and child) is representative of British culture. Currently is far from it, but is how affluent families would perceive it to be. The lifestyle of the male - a vineyard in the Nappa Valley growing grapes and making wine I think is more realistic...or am I also dreaming? You check it out.

Lindsey Lohan, The best actress ever.

Young Lindsey Lohan gives the best performance by any actress I have ever seen.
Amazing talent so I do not understand how she was allowed to go astray.
I love Hayley Mills films but as an actress Lindsey blows her away every time.
To play two characters from two different countries with two different accents and terminology in one film is amazing but:-
To have to play so many scenes twice and get the eye lines and reactions spot on every time is incredible.
Love it love it love it.
The Parent Trap is well worth the Effort. Double trouble.

I loved this movie, I bought it for the kids on a whim as was so cheap and they absolutely loved it. They watched it 3 days in a row - which has never been done before or since. The bit where the girlfriend is pushed out onto the lake asleep on an airbed and wakes up and screams & falls in has been rewound & re-watched a gazillion times. Its light hearted, funny, the mischief the girls get up to appeals to both my kids (girl 7, boy 5). Best £3 I have spent on films. Highly recommended.

Enjoyed by 7, 11, & two 42 year olds. Mostly light hearted mischief and mayhem (the odd relationship reference which thankfully my 7yr old didn’t quiz me on) but other than that it was a bit of holiday fun to watch together as a family.
