Amazon.com video review:
If you were a kid in the early 1960s, then you saw The Parent Trap
with Hayley Mills--it's as simple as that. Now Disney has pulled the
beloved comedy--about a pair of twins who meet for the first time at
summer camp and vow to reunite their long-divorced parents--out of the
mothballs and remade it with a decidedly '90s feel. This time, the
twins act is performed by newcomer Lindsay Lohan, who plays both
Hallie and Annie, who each live with one of their parents (Dennis
Quaid and Natasha Richardson). Adversaries when they first meet at
camp, Hallie and Annie become, well, sisters when they figure out that
they are siblings. The comedy springs from their efforts to sabotage
Dad's impending marriage to the gold-digging Elaine Hendrix, while
reintroducing Dad to Mom. Quaid has a nice, loosey-goosey way with
slapstick, as does Richardson, who plays a very funny drunk
scene. --Marshall Fine
