The Parent Trap

“I've written a lot about how much I love The Parent Trap, but here's a nonexhaustive list of reasons why it's my favorite: the moire wallpaper in Elizabeth's bedroom, the suede jacket Nick wears when he picks Annie-as-Hallie up from the airport, the phrase "Being young and beautiful is not a crime, you know", Grandfather's whole vibe, Chessy's whole vibe, Martin's confusing sexuality, and that white top hat.”

“this version is in fact better than the original imo. oreos w/peanut butter bison chili (unfortunately my recipe is a trade secret but bison > beef chili, try it sometime) poblano cornbread (broil a poblano & mix in) grasshopper brownies (main link) any napa red!”

“Best summer movie, hands down--thankful my child is as obsessed as I was and am.”

“This is perfect. Recreating this this summer!”

“Best movie.”

“Classic summertime viewing. Also always makes me want to eat Oreos with peanut butter.”

“Summer camp, nostalgia & one of my favorite comfort movies. Rewatching it with my daughter & it inspired us to create our own secret handshake ✨”

“I reaaaaaaally liked when she was onscreen, which was really confusing at the time but now makes perfect sense.”

“Meredith Blake had the first Alo set”

“A great movie anytime you want to feel happy and cozy.”

“Watching this was one of the most fundamental experiences of my sisters’ and my childhood years. For our much younger brother, it was the then-six-existing “Star Wars” films and the “Cheaper by the Dozen” movies (…) that were watched on endless repeat; for us, it was this.”

“Pivotal movie during my young adolescence. My best friend and I wanted to become wedding dress designers like the mum in the movie and it made me want a big staircase with photos along it and to possibly move to London or Napa.”

“The Parent Trap with Lindsay Lohan is one of those movies that effortlessly blends humor, heart, and adventure. From the chaos of summer camp to the glamorous Napa Valley scenes and London townhouse moments, every part of the film feels memorable and fun. Lindsay Lohan’s dual performance made the movie unforgettable, while the sharp dialogue, lovable characters, and iconic pranks turned it into a comfort movie people still rewatch decades later.”
