The Parent Trap

CriticsCritics: 75
AudienceAudience: 6.9

Separated after their parents’ divorce, identical twins meet unexpectedly at summer camp and discover their connection. They decide to switch places, experience life with the parent they never knew, and work together on a playful plan to bring their family closer.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a funny, sentimental family movie with playful schemes and lots of heart; Not for you if you prefer grounded drama or subtle, realistic storytelling.
