THE PARENT TRAP (1998) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION

I watch THE PARENT TRAP (1998) for the FIRST TIME! 🤍
Movie Summary:
In this update of a 1961 film, twins Annie and Hallie (Lindsay Lohan) are strangers until happenstance unites them. The preteen girls' divorced parents, Nick (Dennis Quaid) and Elizabeth (Natasha Richardson), are living on opposite sides of the Atlantic, each with one child. After meeting at camp, American Hallie and British-raised Annie engineer an identity swap, giving both the chance to spend time with the parent they've missed. If the scheme works, it might just make the family whole again.

[@tyneayiamitchell9687]

In 2000, just two years after her hit turn in The Parent Trap, Lisa Ann Walter (the nanny Chessy) welcomed her own twins. Weirdly enough, on the same date as Lindsay Lohan's fictional twins Hallie Parker and Annie James from the movie, Oct. 11

[@MomOnSkates]

My twin granddaughters were born on October 11th as well. I always watch this movie on their birthday.

[@INTHESALLOW]

"For Halie" was for the director Nancy Meyers's youngest daughter, named Hallie and she is not dead, she actually worked in the movie, she played one of Annie's friends (the one that wanted to punch Hallie for disrespecting Annie after that "argument"), she (Nancy Meyers) also has an oldest daughter name Annie, who also acted in the movie, she is the girl that gave the first AID box to Elizabeth when Nick fell into the pool. So the names of the two main characters were named after her daughters.

[@chuckhackett4493]

Fun fact: It's a remake of a classic, in I want to say 1960, they made a Parent Trap movie which actually spawned sequels. Haley Mills played both twins in that one named Sharon and Susan.

[@BeeKee404]

There's a theory the antagonist in the original is the mother of Meredith since they're played by the same actress, has the same name and both women calls people "pet."

[@ashleyshayday1526]

@@BeeKee404 it's not a theory. It's a fact. Which you can easily Google if you want proof. Joanna Barnes is the only actress to appear both the original 1961 The Parent Trap and the 1998 remake. She plays Vicki Robinson, the main antagonist of 1961 film, who plans to marry Mitch Evers for his money. And in the 1998 remake she plays Vicki Blake.

[@victoriadavislg]

My fave movie still to this day I was born in ‘88 and my mom got me this movie as a kid and I can still remember when they made this remake and how excited I was 😊

[@pegatheetoo1437]

I much prefer the original. Loved Haley Mills and both Brian Keith & Maureen O'Hara.

[@artxzay3300]

The actual original parent trap is in german "Das doppelte Lottchen" and came out in the 50s. That movie was narrated by Erich Kästner the author of the books which all this is based on.

[@Tadpoli]

Not sure if anyone has already said this (I couldn't find any) but the way they did it was really cool! They had Lindsay act one of the roles (Let's say Annie) while another girl played the other twin, giving her cues and someone to actually respond to so the conversations looked realistic and she wasn't just talking to the air. Then, they'd go back and have the kids swap places and Lindsay would play the other twin (for the example, Hallie!) They then spliced the takes together and with the power of movie magic, we got this absolute masterpiece of a movie! I grew up with this movie so watching you guys react to it was so much fun! It's so sweet and adorable!

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

What's incredibly cool is the technique is WAY older than you'd think. I believe it was first used in a movie called "Little Lord Fauntleroy" that was made in 1921 and was a silent film. I had to do some research to ensure I got it right but I confirmed it was the 1921 version with Mary Pickford.

You mentioned Scarlett Johnson in the video. Fun Fact: Scarlet Johansson actually auditioned for the role of Hallie and Annie in this film along with hundreds of other actors including Michele Trachtenberg, Jena Malone, and Mara Wilson (Matilda, Mrs. Doubtfire) also auditioning or being considered for the roles.

[@liveicelive]

So there was a kid body double for the back shots, and Lindsay Lohan did everything else for both characters. She absolutely smashed her first movie role.

[@vinnyandfriends]

This movie's editing for doubles was wayyyy real looking than most of today's movies. nowadays u can tell its not real but when this movie came everyone thought they were twins in real too.

[@megafan2000]

The "for Hallie" was for the director and writer's daughter (they were married at the time). She was the girl who gave Nick the towel after he fell in the pool. I didn't know until now that her sister's name is Annie so both twins were named after them (i thought it was just Hallie's favorite movie and got her parent's to remake it). Hallie has since directed the movie Home Again with Reese Witherspoon.

[@andreavillegas2196]

Loved the video as always!

Ohmygosh Brian your faceeeeee every time Meredith was talking LMFAO. Same though 🤣🤣

[@Bri_Games]

I love this movie so so much! Also apparently Lindsay Lohan was allergic to the horses and kept sneezing during that scene with the horses. This was the first parent trap movie I saw and I didn’t even know that this was a remake until a couple of years ago. I also thought the twins were actual twins and when my mum told me that it’s just one girl. Never believed her thought because I always said it’s not possible for it to be one person. Then I think it was when I was 14 or 13 when I actually believed her and realized that she was telling the truth. Every time I watched this I would always say I want a twin sister still do want a twin sister but it’s way to late for that. 😆 I think you two would like the Disney 1960s Swiss Family Robinson. Saw it on Disney+ a while ago and it’s really good. Love the videos! You two do an amazing job!

[@MitsukiDiablew]

I heard that Lindsay Lohan did the scenes as Hallie a year later than when she did Annie so there could be a slight difference between the twins. After years of watching it, I see it now. Her as Annie she looks slightly younger than Lindsay as Hallie.

[@agenttheater5]

Both this movie and the 1961 movie is based on a German book from the 20s called 'Lottie and Lisa' (because the mother's name is Lisalotte) or 'Die Doppelte Zwillinge'. Lisa curls her hair, has a temper and is always getting up to mischief, Lottie plaits her hair very tightly and her mother nicknames her 'My little housekeeper' because she knows how to cook and clean the house. If they wear the same hairstyle it's easy to figure out (or was in the beginning) who is who, just pull the girls hair and whoever slaps you straight across the face in response is Lisa.

[@Groffili]

Not quite correct. The book is called "Das doppelte Lottchen" (Literally: "The double Lottie"), and was published in 1949, though a draft had already been proposed for a movie in 1942. Erich Kästner was a much beloved German author, mostly known for his childrens' books, many of which have been adapted in movies. "Das doppelte Lottchen" was already made into a move in 1950, with Kästner himself writing the script and starring as narrator. It may be a bit slow for today's audiences, but a very good nostalgic movie. The book has also been adapted in 1994 (Charlie und Louise - Das Doppelte Lottchen) - my personal favorite - and again in 2017 (Das Doppelte Lottchen). As much as I like the american "Parent Trap" movies - both the 1961 and 1998 versions - the german versions have a more grounded feel to it... and as much as I respect both the technical expertise and the ability of the american actresses to pull of a double role... I prefer the casting of real twins that all the german movies have. If you have the option to watch a german movie, or manage to find a dubbed version... or even get the (very good, I have heard) newly translated book ("The Parent Trap", by Anthea Bell)... I can only highly recommend giving them a try.

Thinking of doing the 1961 movie as well? Just as cute - and it's where the 'Let's Get Together (Yeah Yeah Yeah)' song Hallie was singing on her way to the lift came from. Can't decide which 'We're divorced but I still love you ' declaration from which movie is sweeter, this movie where he reveals that he tracked down the bottle of wine they drank on their wedding night, or the 1961 movie where he goes through a list of little things that probably annoyed him when they were married but that he now misses and adding "It's no fun having a clothes closet all to myself. And it's no fun swearing if you're not there to act like you're shocked by it.....Nothing's any fun without you."

Lindsay Lohan is really exceptional as an actress. Lisa Ann Walter (Chessy) said that Lohan's talent was almost annoying. A lot of the "twins" shots demanded that she remember her timing and her marks so she could repeat the scene. It was very technical work, and Lohan had no trouble with it.

I'm a grown ass man, but every time I watch this I break down blubbering when Annie comes clean to Chessie.

Being a 55 year old man I am a sucker for this movie. I blame it on being adopted and always wondering about my birth parents and their reactions to meeting me if I could have done that. At least that is my excuse... (And I like this better than the original one)

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

Regardless of which you like better you HAVE to admit the skirt prank is the best one in BOTH movies.

[@riah4320]

You should watch it takes two is just as funny too. It has the Olsen twins when they were younger.

I tried fencing ( swords) once when my daughter's girl scout troop went for a field trip. It was really cool! There's a place here in the Detroit area where you can take classes.

i love this film...it's amazing how much of a classic it is after all of these years... also sisters tend not to get along sometimes, especially without practise...so what happened at camp made perfect sense. The reason she wasn't eating much is because American food portions are much bigger, she isn't used to that. it could be because she is worried too...but i'll bet you anything it's also those food portions. "i gave you a fright" is a very english phrase..not something a girl raised in America would say. likewise "woozy" is very much an American slang word...not something an English child would say...especially if thye have never been to America.

The boy at the camp is Linsey’s younger brother.

How are you feeling Brian??? Hope you are feeling close to 100%! Thinking of you bro 🙏🙏🙏

[@mrflickswatches]

Feeling better man! Thanks 🙏🏼

[@purplemoonlight1356]

This was like my favourite film as a kid lol

[@meezemusic]

I'm gonna call it now, there will be another remake announcement soon

[@oliviageter5566]

New subbie.. Yes it's Lindsey's first movie. You recognize the housekeeper, she's in the tv show Abbott Elementary.. Anyway I saw someone comment that there's another version. I would REALLY like for you guys to react to the ORIGINAL Parent Trap starring Bryan Keith, Maureen O'Hara and Hayley Mills. You'll get the reference to the song that Lindsey sang when she got on the elevator bridging the 2 movies together. I've watched both versions SEVERAL TIMES and love them both. I know you reviewed it several months ago and may not see this post but if you do PLEASE watch & review/react to the original. ❤️
