The Parent Trap is the sweet story of a pair of twins who did not know each other existed until they meet at summer camp. They then devise a scheme to trade places to meet the other parent. Putting aside the messed up premise that the parents would not tell each child about their other parent you can revel in the fun chaos that ensues. Young Lindsay Lohan is awesome and super cute!
While this movie does have a few annoying tropes we enjoyed it and it was amazing introducing our kid to "movie magic". Her head was blown from her shoulders as she tried to wrap her brain around the concept that the twins were played by one actor. We had great fun after the movie reenacting some of the scenes to try and show how it was done.
This is probably more a movie for girls but make the boys suffer through it and they can pick next time!
Rating: Good fun but will probably get on your nerves after repeated viewings.
Naughty bits: She's as clean as the camp director's whistle. Some complicated family relationships to explain perhaps?
Snacks: Smores, campfire style
Family In-quotes: "Honey, you never looked better"
