These kinds of films often get bogged down in blandness or sweetness, but fortunately that was not so bad, although the level of blandness is not completely zero here either. And yes, child actors often disappoint, and Lohan even has to play a double role here with different accents. Despite this, against my negative expectations, she does not do without merit.

Other than that, this isn't much, but it looks pretty good, although the ending is very long drawn out. I think it could have been half an hour shorter. Audiovisually not great either, so I ended up with 2*.

This movie has been so much better when revised. Actually, Lindsay Lohan does quite strong and she can carry the film without a problem. She also plays 2 different characters and comedy is not an easy genre either. The film doesn't take it big, but the charm works and the humor is in the right place. A timeless story that could still work, although it seems difficult to top this version.

Mme.

At times quite cuddly film which it is absolutely not surprising that it was produced by Disney. Meanwhile, a studio that still mainly produces safe films. The Parent Trap is actually about the safest movie you can find in there, besides the fact that it has a ridiculously long running time.

Lohan has always been my favorite when she was a teenager. As a child she is mainly cute and at times charming, but not really a supporting factor. However, the same applies to the other roles as well. Quaid and Richardson both don't really know how to form the characters that can fill movies of nearly 130 minutes interestingly.

What follows is a movie that is especially fun for the first 45 minutes when the sisters are mostly pitted against each other. The war between the two is excellently entertaining, but once the antics expand to a somewhat more moralistic and broader area, you still get to see a film that doesn't always manage to be interesting. Mostly predictable and easy.

That doesn't take away from the fact that the film has enough friendly and cute scenes that are easily created by Lohan. In terms of content, it's all a bit too rehashed, which makes me believe that even children can't really keep up with this. The playing time is epically long, but what is presented never justifies that in principle. Fun for the enthusiast, easy for the rest.
