Along with those films, there are plenty of other movies like The Parent Trap that feature families - both fractured and whole - and children getting up to no good.Īs Roger Ebert wrote in his review of the 1998 version of The Parent Trap, the “story is ageless and so is the gimmick.” The ploy of characters changing place, he pointed out, is “the stuff of Elizabethan comedy, resurrected in modern times.” Whether it’s the switch that pulled you into the film or the family shenanigans, you’ll find even more of it in the list below. Beautiful, ya know? One of the most fun parts about The Parent Trap is the switch itself, which got us thinking about other movies where characters switch places. The switch will also give them a chance to get to know the parent they haven’t spent any time with. They come up with a plan to reunite their divorced parents, but they have to switch places to do so.

In both movies, twin girls separated at birth reunite at summer camp to discover the sister they never knew they had.

Whether you’re watching the 1961 original starring Hayley Mills or the 1998 remake starring Lindsay Lohan, The Parent Trap is a classic story of a twin switcheroo, all in the name of romance.
