Negative Positive
Title: Every bit as good as the original!
Review: When I first heard that Disney had remade "The Parent Trap" I was, frankly, unenthused! I mean, how could they top Haley Mills, Maureen O'Hara, and Brian Keith...well, they didn't top it, they EQUALLED it. Essentially the same story but '90's style. The whole cast is excellent, including the secondary characters as well as the main ones...I loved the mini subplot with the butler and maid getting together! And having the original Vicky Robinson play the fiancee's mother was brilliant! My eight-year-old niece can happily watch either the Haley Mills version or this one and be equally content...partly due to both these films, she is enthusiastic about her first week at sleep-over camp coming up this summer! Like the 1960's version, this is a movie that the WHOLE family can truly enjoy...oh and I almost forgot to mention how incredibly CUTE Dennis Quaid is in this movie!
