      Audience Member Bad watch, won't watch again, and can't recommend. Hailey Mills is about the only good thing going on in this movie, and she's doing double work again, but this time as a spy against, but on behalf of her sister....it's quite literally a plot thought out by a 12 year old. This still has the old "Walt Disney" and "Buena Vista" text on it, and Disney hasn't bothered to add it to Disney Plus yet, and I can't really blame them for not "re-mastering" (or whatever) this one. The idea of trapping any two random people together into a relationship doesn't have the same appeal as re-kindling an old flame to re-unite a family, especially long lost twins. While the first was charming, this is void of substance or real entertainment. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review r 9 I did not expect to enjoy this, and yet I did. 'The Parent Trap II' somehow, despite a cavernous 25-year gap from the original, manages to create a suitably entertaining sequel. The premise to this one is arguably the more realistic of the two, though the characters themselves actually react more unrealistically - it's kinda odd, but actually works. Nikki and Mary are the child stars of this, the former is the daughter of Sharon and niece of Susan; both of whom are the leads in 1961's 'The Parent Trap'. The aforementioned are again portrayed by Hayley Mills, somewhat surprisingly but very much welcome. She does a good job, as do Carrie Kei Heim (Nikki) and Bridgette Andersen (Mary). Tom Skerritt plays the role of Bill competently, also. It most definitely isn't a great production and isn't a patch on the first one. However, for what it is - a made-for-TV sequel - I actually rate it. I don't hold high hopes for the other two follow-ups, though perhaps they'll surprise me like this did. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie wasn't like offensive or anything apart from the father's cucumber stuffed short shorts the first time we see him, and his awkward mustachioed kisses the last time we see him, but there wasn't a need for this movie to exist. I didn't actually know it did exist until I got the original from Amazon and discovered it was a double feature. I was overall routing for them to go their separate ways and the kids to get away with nothing, because they were mean girls and not at all likeable characters and I actively didn't want them to be happy. I hope they still moved to New York despite getting married and that that kid did end up getting mugged by a nun. There's your plot to make a trilogy, Disney. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member No not for me a boring movie Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Great Sequel in 80s and The Disney Channel too. I remember seen this sequel on The Disney Channel when I was Kid, I really like this sequel so much Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Smells like made for cable trash, but it's nice to see a familiar face from the original.

      David Nusair Reel Film Reviews There's really not much here worth recommending, as The Parent Trap II features a predictable and overtly silly storyline that has evidently been dumbed down to appeal solely to small children. Rated: 1/4 Sep 26, 2019 Full Review Robert Pardi TV Guide Even a double dose of [Hayley] Mills' charm can't quite compensate for the deficiencies of Stuart Krieger's labored script - this coy frolic plays like a French bedroom farce cleaned up for a summer theater camp. Rated: 2/5 Sep 26, 2019 Full Review Kevin Carr 7M Pictures This sequel to "The Parent Trap" is simply awful in every sense of the word. Rated: 1/5 Sep 28, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews
