Release Year: 1998 Rating: PG Duration: 127 minutes Other Title: Disney's The Parent Trap Director: Nancy Meyers Producer: Charles Shyer Distributor: Walt Disney Productions
Walt Disney's The Parent Trap tells the tale of identical twin sisters, separated shortly after birth by the break-up of their parents. Unaware of each other's existence, the girls coincidentally meet at summer camp in Maine. Eager to meet their respective parents, the girls devise a scheme to switch places and ultimately, reunite their mom and dad.
The spunky Lindsay Lohan, the lead in Disney's remake of THE PARENT TRAP is one of the best new actresses in years. A stunning 11 year-old redhead with a freckled face, she charms the audience in her every scene. Rather than attempting to recreate the Hayley Mills role from the 1961 classic, she brings her own vivacious freshness to make it a completely different movie, albeit with the same plot.
