Editorial Review:
What makes the Special Edition of THE PARENT TRAP so cool isn't just that you get to enjoy Lindsay Lohan's amazing theatrical debut, but that's it's filled with bonus materials you've never seen before. Hallie Parker, a hip Californian, and Annie James, a proper London miss (both played by Lohan) are identical twins who don't even know each other exists -- until they accidentally meet at summer camp. Now they're up to their freckles in schemes and dreams to switch places, get their parents (Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson) back together, and have the family they've always wished for!
Description of The Parent Trap (Special Edition):
If you were a kid in the early 1960s, then you saw The Parent Trap with Hayley Mills--it's as simple as that. Now Disney has pulled the beloved comedy--about a pair of twins who meet for the first time at summer camp and vow to reunite their long-divorced parents--out of the mothballs and remade it with a decidedly '90s feel. This time, the twins act is performed by newcomer Lindsay Lohan, who plays both Hallie and Annie, who each live with one of their parents (Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson). Adversaries when they first meet at camp, Hallie and Annie become, well, sisters when they figure out that they are siblings. The comedy springs from their efforts to sabotage Dad's impending marriage to the gold-digging Elaine Hendrix, while reintroducing Dad to Mom. Quaid has a nice, loosey-goosey way with slapstick, as does Richardson, who plays a very funny drunk scene. --Marshall Fine
The Parent Trap (Special Edition) Reviews:
Cute and very well done 
2008-06-25 - Based on Erich Kastner's book and a 1961 movie, which takes place in other locations is a changed one, although it starts almost the same as the book, it changes to a modern type of fairytale style.
The real amazment however comes from the selection of one actress (like the movie from 1961) to play two parts and it's implametation, unlike the Olsen twin movies, and enhancing it to a perfectly done technological breakthrough that REALLY makes you think the two characters are two girls.
The DVD is worth buying if you like TONS of special features about the movie and how it was done, and belive me, this one defenatly delivers.
On a sadder note, Lindsay Lohan seem innocent enough to play the part at that age but ten years later she ends up like many actresses and actors, in and out of rehab, which really makes you wonder if it is worth it and make you swear NEVER to send your kid to "the businness" in Hollywood or glamour anywhere else.
Good Family Entertainment, Well Done. 
2008-06-05 - There is a solid storyline, the production and the acting supports it well. It is fun to watch for the 3rd time too, and it keeps the attention of adults as well. This is quality family entertainment.
The Parent Trap (special)
2008-05-31 - The quality of the DVD is supurb, just like you bought it off the shelf in the store. The movie it's self is just what I wanted. It is very funny and farily close to the origional story (Hayley Mills and the Parent Trap.) I would recomend it to anyone who likes comedy / romance.
Nice remake
2008-05-19 - Great remake of the original - with a few extra twists thrown in. Was happy to purchase it for my collection. If you liked the original, you will love this one.
We love this movie
2008-05-04 - My 7 year old loves this movie. She watches it on tape and every time it's on TV. I find myself sitting and watching it with her often. Just a good Disney movie with a happy ending.
