    Pretty much the only reason this movie holds up better than others is because it was a remake that honored the original. The original Parent Trap from 1961 held up well also. The Prince and the Pauper trope holds some real appeal on it's own so a more family oriented version just makes sense. This movie is mostly identical to the former version sparing some more modern settings and different shots. How the couple got together, married and divorced in like a week... and somehow had kids in that same week wasn't there and it was a change that I think just wasn't thought through.

    I agree. It's implied with both Chessie and the butler (his name escapes me at the moment) that they have been with the family for YEARS at this point, most likely helping raise each girl (since both parents look like they have fairly demanding careers). Its kind of nice. Like, even if the parents weren't together, you still got this image of them having a solid family unit while growing up.

It's just so much something they've both clearly blocked off from being in the realm of possible (because of their own crazy unhealthy decision to just cut themselves off from their other child) that it actually makes sense to me.

Which is mostly unrealistic at it’s core. Someone just wanted to write a whole ‘identical strangers’ plot with kids an this was the result. Twins aren’t interchangeable. I doubt a mom or dad would just go on for 11 years like a whole nother child did not exist.

The kids in The Parent Trap think their parents are so cool and love them so much, but in reality the housekeeper and the butler(and the grandfather) are the ones who discovered that the girls had switched before the parents did. Which speaks about how the girls aren't actually close with their parents as much as they are close with the housekeeper and the butler.

    I do enjoy the movie - you're taking this wildly serious. It is like 50 First Dates, I liked that movie too but when I first watched it when I was like 11/12 I said to my mum "she must be so scared to wake up pregnant, that's awful." Kids do pick up on things. As a viewer you are very much likely to imagine yourself in that scenario or situation, it is preferable really so you get more invested in a story. I think it isn't weird to question that scenario at all. You can enjoy a movie, while also thinking "damn that's a bit messed up". Even as a kid I thought it was weird for parents to divide their children and that's what I spoke about most of the movie. Maybe that is cause I am an older sister, living with a big family. I'm not asking it to be flawless or good? I don't know why you are fighting like I've condemned the movie, I just find the premise a little odd, and I'm just talking about it. It's always been something on my mind since I first watched it. I still find it funny, I still enjoy it, I grew up with it, I showed it to my little brother a few months ago, in no way do I dislike the movie. Questioning something, and overly picking something apart are two very different things. I questioned the movie, so what? Why do you care? It's not like I broke apart the movie and said it needed to be a serious commentary about children of divorce - because, believe it or not, I like the movie. Shocker. It is a little funny that you are saying stuff like this "it doesnt have to be 5head 5D chess levels of depth, IQ testing and thoughtfulness?" about a, what? 10 worded comment? That also didn't require a deep level of thoughtfulness.

    It actually was normal before the 1970s. This movie is a remake of a much older movie from 1961, the twins are older in that movie and would have been born in 1945, so yeah, this would not have been an outlandish custody arrangement at the time their parents would’ve gotten divorced. Before the 1970s, if parents of young children got divorced, joint custody arrangements were pretty rare, usually what would happen is a judge would assign a specific kid to a specific parent to live with for the rest of their life. So a lot of the time, if your parents got divorced, you would live with one parent and you may never see your other parent and the sibling that live with that other parent ever again.

    I remember my dad taking me on a hike to heart rock as a kid. We followed a long electric cable near the end for a little while that was placed in the middle of the trail. We saw a guy walking along and asked him about it since he had a bunch of gear with him. He told us they were filming a movie about twins but it was played by one girl. He got in depth about how they duplicate the image to make it look like twins on film. Finally after a couple years i put two and two together and figured out it was this was the movie they were shooting. Weird how it turned out to be one of my favorites as a kid.

    I have a smidge of sympathy for Meredith. Girl was a hustler, she definitely worked and had her own, and she genuinely seemed to at the very least, LIKE Nick. She did initially try to be nice and talk to Hallie. Nick had been keeping this secret from her the whole time, THEN she finds out the girls are trying to set Nick back up with the ex-wife, THEN gets dragged out to the middle of a lake in her sleep and wakes up freaking out. What if she didn't know how to swim? What if she got attacked by a wild animal or something? This could've possibly been a murder attempt by the twins. And Nick didn't do much to stick up for her..... I would've lost my shit too. Girl dodged a bullet, lol.

    As an adult who has a strained relationship with my dad, I gotta say these girls took the whole "one of my parents totally abandoned me" thing really, really well. It's like, if it was me instead of trying to figure out why my parents split up, I'd be more concerned with why one of my parents (who knew I existed) never once tried to contact me, and only left me with their picture which was a torn picture. When Haley and Annie first met their mom and dad, that was literally the first time they had even heard their voices. Like how are you okay with having zero contact with one of your children, and even lying to them about being twins so they can never meet their sister, and so you can pretend like there's no reason to see each other. Soooo messed up.

    The writers wanted to make a modern adaptation of a wartime story but they took out the war so there was no plausible reason for the separation, so they had to cobble together this plot instead.

As a divorced single dad of 4 I've done the best I can to minimize the suck for my kids but there's no way to eliminate it. I didn't want the divorce but if I thought the kids would prefer if I moved out I would have. Instead I refused to move out and I fought for as much custody as I could get. My boys are with me full time (they are older), my girls about half. But I always tell them even though I want them all the time they can spend as much time as they want with their mom any time they want. I'm lucky I never had to live that two home co-parenting thing like you did.

    This is actually based on a German children's book by Erich Kästner where he let the parents split the twins as a metaphor for how parents don't care about their children when they divorce. Ironically, he was never married himself and had a son with a girlfriend he had seperated from.

    And I think, it's important to know, that the book was first published in 1949. The first draft of it is from 1942. So, when the parents split and went on to live in Munich and Vienna, it was reasonable that they never heard from eachother and that they went to the same summercamp. It was a very different society in these days...

    This movie is a remake of another movie from 1961 where the twins are older and would’ve been born in 1945, back then custody arrangements were very different, really up until the 1970 when no-fault divorce was introduced there was very rare “joint custody” and what would usually happen instead is that one parent would get full custody of either all of the kids or some of the kids (depends how many kids there are) and would just never see their ex again. So there were real situations where twins would get split up between parents and then just never see each other or their other parent again.

    Actually the part where Meredith says “it’s me or the kids” before even getting married honestly isn’t too far fetched. I remember watching this movie when I was little and my mom told me the same thing happened to my great grandfather and grandpa back in the day. My great grandfather was engaged to a women after my great grandma died and went on a camping trip with her and his 2 teenage sons (my grandpa and his brother). My grandpa and his brother were terrible to her and she kept complaining about going camping (more of a city girl I guess) since she wanted to go skiing in like aspen or something, but my great grandfather said that they always go camping in the summer and it’s a tradition and they’re not going to cut the trip short just because of her. Well I guess that was the final straw because she said it’s them (my grandpa and his brother) or her. My great grandfather apparently looked at her like she was stupid and said “Of course I’m going to choose my kids.” She got pissed at that and stormed off saying that if he doesn’t follow her that she won’t be back when they return. Well they had a fun camping trip and my great grandfather never heard from her again. All that was left apparently was the ring on the table when they got back along with a note with some choice language apparently.

Personally, I find the 90s version “Charlie und Louise” the best as they were older but also the characters less infantilized as it wasn’t an American production. Also 90s kids movies were the least moral finger wagging boring.
