Disney's The Parent Trap [DVD] [1998]

Amazon.co.uk 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 Product Description Hallie Parker and Annie James are two young girls living thousands of miles apart who have one thing in common: they are in fact identical twins. American Hallie and Brit Annie (both played by Lindsay Lohan) discover they share the same genes when they bump into each other at summer camp, and subsequently join forces to reunite their estranged parents (Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson). A contemporary remake of the 1961 Disney classic.
