Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.

Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Caroline Reynolds In this movie Haley Mills has passed the torch and her character's children are up to antics this go round! Fun movie! I love the location of the movie, set in Tampa. Lots of beautiful scenery! This was filmed in 1985 and the wardrobe reflects that! This can always be a great reference for mid-80's period clothing!

S C Let me start by saying that I am a huge fan of the original Parent Trap movie. The story line of that film is charming and there is plenty of witty, humorous dialogue. This film, the second installment, lacks the wit and charm of the original film. The story line is lame, the dialogue falls flat, and the outcome is exactly what any viewer would predict. Additionally, there are repeated references by the two main child actresses to the opposite parent's hotness, great body, etc., which I found inappropriate and a little bizarre. Why not focus on their character, sense of humor, intelligence, or excellent parenting skills instead? Hayley Mills must have been desperate for a paycheck to agree to starring in this ridiculous sequel. Ugh.

sherrypeck19825 The Parent Trap II is all about the daughter of the grown up Sharon (the same Sharon from the 1st movie, and played by the same actress Hayley Mills) trying to get her mother (Sharon) together with the single father of her school friend. I watched an hour of it and couldn't keep my attention from wandering off. The acting was lame and the story line just seemed like a ripped off rewrite of the original. The only upside was seeing the lovely Hayley Mills as a young adult. So pretty. Note: Have you seen the TV show "Good Morning, Miss Bliss" (Saved By The Bell: the junior high years)? Hayley Mills plays a Teacher (Miss Bliss) on that show.

fomlife777 There are several reason to make a sequel to a popular film. 1. The story is so big that 1 film can't contain it, like 'Lord of the Rings' 'Star Wars' and 'Rocky'.2. The popularity of the film warrant's another adventure of the protagonist like 'Indiana Jones' 'James Bond' and 'Godzilla'. 3. A very good reason I thought of before writing this review, but I have since forgotten what it was.4. The movie was a horror movie in which it is impossible not to make a sequel, like 'Friday the 13th', 'Scream', or 'Air Bud'.5. The film was so popular that it would be way cool to make a sequel with the same crew and cast like 'Ghostbusters', 'Pirates of the Caribbean', or 'The Parent Trap'.The 5th category usually suffers artistic merit due to the fact that the producers or director don't give a Cockily-doodily-doo about the script as long as they can make a film with the previous film' title in it. There may have been a time when Disney cared about the quality of their scripts and even made their TV movies as high quality as their feature length features. Pixar cares about this aspect of film making and so far has not released any schlock because of this.The idea of a sequel to 1961's 'The Parent Trap', seems like a good idea on paper. At the end of the first film I wondered what became of the twins and what happen to their lives after the film ended. Someone else thought of this and got Hayley Mills to sign on to reprise her role as twins Susan and Sharon. Parent Trap 3 and 4 were also green lighted.Was it worth the effort? Lets compare the two films.Parent Trap (Original) Parent Trap (sequel) Has a Compelling YES NOOOO Story to be told Good Moral Message YES Not Really Charm YES NO Original YES NO ,NO, NO Funny YES Forced Wit YES NO WAY Disney MAGIC HECK YEAH Tinker Bell was Shot Smiles BIG Frowns The only reason to own or rent this film is because it is on the same disc as the Original Movie. Perhaps it is better that Disney has not released PT 3 and 4 on Disc or VHS because it shows someone somewhere still cares about artistic merit or quality. That person is working on a killer script where Hayley reprises her role as Pollyanna.
