The Parent Trap(1998)

I would've done The Godfather but I don't remember enough about it to do a review,so instead I've decided to replace that movie with a review of The Parent Trap and no not the 1966 Disney hit,rather the 1998 remake.

The Parent Trap(1998)

Presentation: 20/20(Impressive presentation and excellent beginning dialogue)

Plot: 5/20 (This plot has been done and it's so old practically every TV show or book has done some version of it it's like a sibling version of The Prince and The Pauper,but at least it's done in quite a nice style)

Characters:20/20 (Hilarious characters well developed and every character is lovable[except one who is easy to love to hate])

Lohan's Role: 20/20 (This was made back in the day when Lindsay Lohan was actually a good actress not someone known for being drunk,she was maybe 12 at the oldest,either way she totally pulled the dual roles of Haley Parker and Anne James)

Richardson's Role: 19/20 (Almost sound,still she potrayed Elizabeth James as albeit of a dull character at first)

Quaid's Role: 12/20 (Easily the weak one but hey he's always the weak one and somehow he always end up as a father in each movie[of course I've only seen him in The Day After Tomorrow and Your's Mine,and Our's] oh well he does an acceptable job at being the unsuspecting Dad)

Set: 20/20 (Good set work,theleaky cabin was filmed well and the rest was about as good as it gets for 1998)

Execution:20/20 (The plot is a loss but thankfully it's done in a good style,with badass dialogue,and an ending you wouldn't expect)

Final:16/20(It's hard to not like this movie,but it's not without flaws I mean the plot sucks but the movie wouldn't work without it they coulda' found someone better than Dennis Quaid to play Nick Parker)
