Reviews for The Parent Trap
Surprisingly, the film is delightful—mostly because of 15-year-old Hayley Mills, the blonde button nose who played the endearing delinquent in Tiger Bay.
An enjoyable, corny Disney picture with a memorable soundtrack featuring tunes sung by Tommy Sands and Annette Funicello.
Easily one of the best Disney live-action films, with Mills shining in a dual role.
The story has been filmed three times...This is the best of them, thanks largely to Mills's natural comic charm.
Pretty good family film. Helps that Hayley Mills was my first crush, when I was 10 years old.
...a delightful, juvenile, romantic-comedy romp, and, yes, maybe it works for adults, too.
