The Parent Trap [DVD]

No, it’s not the job of kids to make their parents stay together like all children (and God) want, and will reward: But these movies reflect a reality also hears in the old song “Daddy Don’t You Walk So Fast.” speaking of a man who was ROCKED, even at college-age., unexpectedly, by divorce of my parents —even after growing up with the glitzy sexy pro-divorce “One Day at a Time” TV show, and it’s 2 sexy teens & mama, —when my OWN parents actually DID DIVORCE! — I tried to fix their marriage, sending them money for tickets to a Peter Paul & Mary concert in 1980, thinking that something they both had valued when I was growing up might unite them … Didnt work: but the first Parent Trap movie success undoubtedly filled a real need & BOTH it & this are good movies.— Watched this online from Amazon when we saw that our adult daughters had apparently agreed on the value of these movies & took both our DVD movie versions with them when they moved away! Why did we watch it again online, last month? An experience I had on the plane last month, returning from seeing our daughters, and (1) grandchild: I was watching the first “Incredibles”, on the aircraft’s seatback screen, while the pretty young black lady next to me was watching on her seatback this newer Parent Trap, (both with ear buds of course.) As I watched my “Incredibles” & remembered how deep and positive it was, even for an adult, I observed the young lady silently getting misty, over Parent Trap. We are a hurting country rocked by family and every other type dysfunction…So, I was bold and typed this message, on my iPhone “notes” screen & showed it to her, silently, as we both watched our two older but good (rarer & rarer) Hollywood movies: “Hollywood is ABLE to make 2 great movies ! < >…God just has to make them WANT TO !(I’ve gravitated to and even financially supported such fresh new ventures as Angel Studios). She nodded.— No further comment was needed. Bless you, if you’re still reading, and enjoy your movie. I hope the young starlet is doing well in her adulthood —and like me accepts or has accepted Jesus, as I did, later in life.

This is a remake of the 1961 movie of the same name.This is by far the better of the two movies.This version was directed and co-written by Nancy Meyers and is her feature directorial debut.She is a great director and a great story teller who puts together a great script and a great cast.This movie tells the very entertaining story of twin girls that were raised apart by their two parents...And who find out about each other at a summer camp where they run into each other as rivals.Thus begins a very compelling story of how these two twin sisters get to know each other and hatch a plan to bring their two parents back together...One from England and one from the USA...In a reunion that will touch your heart.A Wonderful Heart Warming Movie!

The Parent Trap is one of my favorite movies! I could watch it all day every day and not get tired of it! I recommend this movie for everyone of all ages. It is a classic and great for families. It's truly the best movie out there!

My wife will never let me live down the fact that once, when Blockbuster was still a thing, we were in the local video store, picking up something to watch on a Friday night. I had picked this DVD up to rent when a cute little girl, maybe 7 or 8, came down the aisle. "The Parent Trap", she called to her mom, scanning the aisles, "It's my favorite".Alas, she was unable to find it. Did I tell her that I had picked up the last copy? No, and my wife still teases me about crushing the little girl's dreams. Yes, I felt guilty. But not enough to let her have it. But hey, at least we enjoyed it. And it's still a really cute movie! And now that it's available for streaming, you can watch it without being a grinch!

Great performances by Lindsay Lohan, Natasha Richardson, and Dennis Quaid! Beautifully directed by Nancy Meyers. I didn't expect to find it as entertaining as the original, but I was very pleasantly surprised.

This is a good family movie. Lindsay Lohan does a great job, but it doesn't beat the original made in the 60s.

Everybody knocked their role out of the park!!!!

No problem with the movie.

DVD box came broken.
