The Parent Trap : 3 of 5

Since I watched the Hayley Mills original film a few months ago, I put this remake in my Netflix queue to see how they compare. I was amazed to see that Lindsay Lohan, the girl from the recent Freaky Friday, played the Hayley Mills double-role in this several years ago - she's much younger, but still a great actress! I was also surprised at how close the plot of the remake is to the original - I expected there to be much more updating, but they essentially duplicated the story almost scene by scene (with only a few plot additions and some changes in location). Most of the tenderness remains, making this a great movie and a nice homage to the original (they even included a tidbit of Let's Get Together, one of the original's songs). Fun and touching movies like this really make my day!
