Comment/Synopsis

Lindsey Lohan plays two identical twin girls who were separated at a young age when their mother (Natasha RIchardson) and father (Dennis Quaid) divorced. One is brought up in London and the other in California. They meet at summer camp and decide to bring their parents back together by changing places and trying to stop their father from marrying another woman. They are aided by the fathers housekeep and the mothers butler. Light romantic comedy that is a remake of the 1961 Hayley Mills film. Good entertainment for the teenage girl market from the Disney stable. This was the first film that Nancy Meyers directed.
