The Parent Trap | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Lisa Alspector Chicago Reader This 1998 romantic comedy mostly bores with its cumbersome exposition and close-ups of trivial objects scattered throughout lackluster montage sequences. May 27, 2011 Full Review The Parent Trap | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Nell Minow Common Sense Media Delightful remake is great for the whole family. Rated: 4/5 Sep 7, 2010 Full Review The Parent Trap | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Joe Leydon Variety New pic is slick, sentimental and exceptionally well cast, with enough cross-generational appeal to suggest strong commercial potential. Jul 6, 2010 Full Review The Parent Trap | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Aaron Charles InSession Film In the end, this is a movie about family, love, loss and reunion. May 9, 2024 Full Review The Parent Trap | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies Twenty-five years later, The Parent Trap still offers its audience a good time. Rated: 4/5 Aug 21, 2023 Full Review The Parent Trap | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Emma Clark-Dow Stuff.co.nz Although The Parent Trap is very much a children's film, the sweetness of the story about trying to bring a broken family together holds strong and is still an excellent watch.

Dario J this is one of the best film i’ve ever seen, i really like the twins and even if the actor was little she acts fantastic. Very beautiful film Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/29/24 Full Review Caleb J Lindsay Lohan was HER. A childhood staple of mine that still makes me laugh and get me emotional. I love it. Chessy is the real MVP. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/17/24 Full Review Mish F I love the movie Parent Trap. I like the part when she meets Meredith. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/24 Full Review Jon L Truly one of the best movies I've ever seen. Seen it a thousand times and it still is just as good as the first time I saw it. Lindsay deserved an Oscar nom for this! The soundtrack is also beautiful and Nancy Meyers directing is perfect. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/24 Full Review Jaimy D good watch! I liked the story. I liked the great performance of Lindsay and both Natasha Richardson and Dennis Quaid. Although Lindsay stars as both twins, she did a great job playing both roles but still providing a difference in both characters. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/24 Full Review Emery A An epic film from the childhood of many, with wonderful performances, a funny and adorable family drama, it makes for a good laugh and it's emotional. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
