This movie is one of the best sixties one out there. It is much better than the 1998 version. Haley Mills plays both characters to perfection (as always), and it has a great plot with unexpected twists and turns. You... Full review

"Family" movies usually make me cringe. Saccharine plots, cloying kiddie actors, goopy dialogue...no, thank you!

For kids who are willing to watch a movie that unfolds at a more leisurely pace, The Parent Trap is an entertaining relic from a time when kids were far less knowing.

it was one of her favorite movies when she was young.....The girls' meetings with the mother and father they had never known (and can't now reveal themselves to) are the second most touching scenes in the film.....Their initial discovery that they're long-lost twin sisters is surely the most touching scene in the picture and crucial for believing everything that follows..... ...

Ultimately, The Parent Trap offered a problematic but moderately enjoyable flick.....This means it also provides the most dated of the four movies....Otherwise, the movie remained reasonably crisp and distinct.....I hereby nominate "Let's Get Together" to join the ranks of the worst movie songs ever recorded.....it succeeded for a film of this vintage and genre..... ...
