The Parent Trap (1998)

Lil’ Lindsay Lohan is remarkable in her double (sometimes even quadruple) role and definitely carries the film; with the help of some seamless editing, you never feel like it’s not actually two actors (the discovery in the cabin is a marvel of a scene). All of the plot holes and contrivances make it feel like it was written by an 11-year old too, but that’s not all bad (who doesn’t enjoy pranking villains and reuniting families?) and there’s some fun dramatic irony in acts two and three as well.

    1. ack i had someone else comment that on instagram too! haha. i feel relatively positive about it but not glowing, if that makes sense (aside from Lohan’s performance). Also, I just recently changed my rating system, so this woulda been a 6.5 before!
