The whole thing is pleasant enough -- provided you can suspend your disbelief for long enough to accept that all English people talk in plummy accents, swan around Kensington and have butlers.

Agreeable remake of the 60s Disney hit.

Even if you've seen and enjoyed the original Parent Trap, this 1998 update should make you happy all over again.

Romance, comedy, adventure and charm come through loud and clear in this highly entertaining remake.

Delightful remake is great for the whole family.

Movies like this how much fun escapism can be.

The technology for twinning a single young actress is considerably more seamless than it was in 1961, and Lohan is a perky charmer.

This 1998 romantic comedy mostly bores with its cumbersome exposition and close-ups of trivial objects scattered throughout lackluster montage sequences.

It never fails to amaze me that something as essentially light and pointless as Disney's remake of The Parent Trap can clock in at over two hours in length.

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.

The light comedy is sweetly timed, the direction smart and assured, and the visuals bright, colourful, unobtrusive and faultless.

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