... the plot too much......I can tell you that all's well that ends well. The l998 version follows much along the same lines except that in this case the father owns a Californian Vineyard and the mother lives in London, England. The girls here are ll and are played by redhaired, freckle face Lindsay Lothan and the mother and father Liz and Nick are played by Natasha Richardson and Dennsi Quaid. In this version however, the mother and father have a more loving, rather than volatile relationship and to my mind so...more

Let's Get together and compare the two films.....Parent Trap l998 and the Original 1961 version which I saw as a child.

This is a re-make of a film I remember from quite a few years ago, 1961 to be exact, that starred Hayley Mills. I’m always somewhat sceptical of Hollywood re-makes, and particularly Disney ones, but I have to say that, in this instance, Disney have done a fabulous job and if anything, it is better than the original. Like many things that work very well, the basic premise of the plot is very straightforward. A couple, initially happily married, decide to separate shortly after the birth of 2 baby girls that happen to be identical twins. Being fair minded, they each have one of the daughters to raise. One daughter (Hallie) is raised in California and the ... Read the complete review
