Great family movie for kids 5+... except for a few scenes
My 4 and 6 yr old girls (esp the older one) loved this show. My younger one enjoyed the show but still doesn't have the attention-span to watch a show this long. They loved the funny summer camp scenes and the dual/switching roles of Hallie/Annie. Somewhat inappropriate scenes for this age group were the scene of Martin in his speedo and the lookover he gets; the scene of Annie talking to Meredith about just being with her Dad because of money/sex; Mom being drunk getting off the plane. Being a stepmom myself (to a visting step-d), my kids didn't understand why stepmoms are always portrayed as mean and not nice to stepchildren (similar to many princesss Disney shows as well).

There was nothing wrong with this movie. It's a sequal as good as, if not better than, the original!!

My 9 year old really likes this movie and she has the book. Hardly notices when one of the twins jumps off the dock.

A Fun Family Movie...
Parents need to know that this PG rating is very mild, aside from a few sexual references that will go over kids's heads. When shopping with her mother (who designs wedding gowns), a girl asks if making gowns for marriages makes her think of the "f word". The mother, startled, asks her to clarifly, and the girl says that she meant "father". An engaged couple seems to have had sex before marriage, and the groom's daughter picks up on this, saying to the bride that "marriage is supposed to be about more than sex". The same engaged couple makes a seductive remark about "checking out the honeymoon suite". Both of the main characters tell frequent white lies to get their parents back together, and those lies apparently go unpunished. One character gets very drunk, and is presented, at a bar, with a strong drink ("don't ask what's in it").

Pretty good for tweens and teens!
I love the poker scene where they betting everything they have!:) Love the cabin prank!:) Even though it's messy. It's funny! There's a few things that bother me about like how there's no consequences for the girls lying, Meredith thinking that she can have their dad just like that and not want the girls.Also the consumerism of the oreos.The only part that worries me about sex is when Meredith says your looking at a girl who had their twelve year old molars out early.Some parts aren't for little kids.

parent trap movie
This is the perfect family love/funny story! This movie is good for all ages! Their is a scene wher a girl has a dare and she had to jump into the lake nude but all its shows is her ancles... But the camp is an all girl camp so no boys were in the cap scenes... The movie is great and i think who ever hasent seen it yet is really missing out because its really good.

Cute remake
This one is fun to watch. The story is (still) implausible, but Lohan is appealing as the two girls and the other characters are well cast. Some behavior (tricks and lying) that could be criticized, but it's not central or overemphasized in the plot.

A family favorite
My 7 year old and I absolutely love this movie, and watch it a few times a year for our family movie nights. It is a great remake of the Disney classic from the 1960s, with a very appealing young Lindsay Lohan carrying off the dual-lead role with amazing skill. There are a few things that keep this movie out of the G rating territory: a scene in which the mum has a few too many drinks; an unlovely view of the butler in a Speedo; a reference to "the F word" that turns out to mean "Father." Single/divorced parents should be aware that the movie suggests that a one-parent family is incomplete, and you may need to be prepared to talk about that with your offspring. Otherwise, a fun, happy movie, with a great and varied soundtrack, and an ADORABLE Dennis Quaid thrown in to keep us mommies happy!

Cute update of classic
I really like this movie. It's a fun movie that can be watched over and over again. Now my daughter (age 6 1/2) is watching it with me and enjoying it.
I have only 2 complaints. First, I wish that the Mom hadn't felt the need to get drunk because while it is funny how she copes with the situations, it also makes drunkenness seem acceptable and it's not acceptable in our family.
Second, I wish that the movie had been made with a little less skin and "sexy". I realize though that my standards are set WAY higher than the vast majority of people. If you are sensitive to this issue you should be aware that there is kissing, some "sexy" talk, and a British guy in a speedo.
Overall, it's a Two Thumbs Up movie and I heartily recommend it. :~)

A wholesome family movie
Parents should know there is some brief mild sexual content in this movie that's even present in the edited TV-G Disney Channel version. No sex scenes are present, but there's some making out, the butler in a Speedo, the jump in the water scene, and some mild references. Also, some drinking scenes including one of the girls drinking, then later going out for fresh air (that's played as a lie).
