November 21, 2011This remake is a lot like the original, except of course it tries to modernize the story, make it more realistic for today's audience. It's good, actually, but it will never be as good as the original, of course.

New pic is slick, sentimental and exceptionally well cast, with enough cross-generational appeal to suggest strong commercial potential. Full Review

Movies like this remember how much fun escapism can be. Full Review

The lavish, super-cute new version of The Parent Trap is a remake of the 1961 Hayley Mills hit, which was seriously adorable in its own right Full Review

Richardson and Quaid, who is beginning to resemble Harrison Ford in his rumpled mode, have great chemistry. It's a shame it takes so long for the movie to bring them together to demonstrate it. Full Review
