Cute Movies
Customer Rating: 
I got this DVD set as a Christmas gift from someone a few years ago, and I've played it many times since. The first Parent Trap movie is a Disney classic. It's held up remarkably well over the years. Children of each generation are sure to enjoy it. They just don't make movies like this anymore, and it's a shame. I didn't care for the remake. It just doesn't compare to the original. Too bad Disney rarely plays older films on their channel. Luckily you can buy the DVD, and the price is a real bargain.
I still enjoy the movie and have since I was a kid. I still have the VHS copy. It's one of those movies that never really loses it's appeal even after you've grown up.
As for the bonus features, they are all pretty interesting to watch at least once. A few I've watched again, too. One of my favorites was the feature on the actress who played Hayley's twin.
The real added treat for me here is that The Parent Trap 2 is included as well, and let's just say that it is nothing like the first. Don't expect anything to be similar except for Hayley Mills being in it. Does this mean it is awful? Not at all. When I first played it, I didn't know what to expect. It was obvious that it was made in the mid-80s, and it is a product of the time. Something about it was familiar, and I'm guessing I watched it on tv at least once as a kid. I am so glad that they included this. Some people really don't like this movie because they compare it to the first one, naturally, and it's different. If you don't like cheesy films or made for tv films or 80s films, then you might not like this either. But if you don't mind those things and don't care that it is very different from the first movie, you may actually find yourself enjoying it. It's a cute little film that reminds me of a simpler time of life. It's good 80s nostalgia. I am embarrassed to say how many times I've watched it. It's one of my favorite dvds to play. It takes me back to childhood.
So, two good movies for a low price, plus interviews and interesting bonus features. Great buy.
