This film has everything for the all-important female audience: feisty heroines, lots of slapstick, great clothes.

Ignoring these lapses in logic, The Parent Trap' is hugely enter taining and more relevant than most family entertainment.

Quaid is instantly likable, with that goofy smile. Richardson, who almost always plays tougher roles and harder women, this time is astonishing, she's so warm and attractive.

The visual illusion that Ms. Lohan is actually two characters has been accomplished so seamlessly that it barely diverts attention from one of the film's greatest passions, its product plugs.

It's an enjoyable film, carried along by the perennial strength of the story... But it won't have the staying power of the original.

Vanilla and sweet, it's an overly generous helping that, if it doesn't make you sick, will put you in a good humor all day long.

This 1998 romantic comedy mostly bores with its cumbersome exposition and close-ups of trivial objects scattered throughout lackluster montage sequences.

I absolutely love this movie! It has a nice story, an incredible soundtrack. Lindsay made a great work in this movie, on of my favorites, btw. Natasha Richardson was beautiful, and made the mom very well. A 90s classic.

I adore this movie! Lindsay Lohan is the perfect actress for both parts, she has the flair to be able give both completely different personalities and you actually do believe you're watching 2 different girls. The storyline is sweet and family orientated, and shows that there is hope in the world.

No doubt better then what I expected but still it is too happy and fun loving than it should be. It's a fairy tale that like many other Disney movies is enjoyable to watch. The acting performances are actually very well done. But this movie suffers from a long running time. In the end this movie is above average with a 62.6 out of 100.

The original Parent Trap was good, but the remake is only okay. It's not very inspired and doesn't bring anything new to the table. It's just the original with new actors and actresses.

Annoying cynical crud. Lohan is excellent, but there is not an honest moment in this film. Syrupy music, two selfish parents who deprive the twins from knowing each other I can excuse 8 year olds for enjoying Parent Trap, but anyone older who does, I'm guessing must believe in angels and the Easter Bunny as well.
