Although the plot is very close to that of the 1945 film Twice Blessed, The Parent Trap is based on the 1949 book Lisa and Lottie ( German: Das doppelte Lottchen) by Erich Kästner. Maureen O'Hara, and Brian Keith play the parents. It stars Hayley Mills (in a dual role) as a pair of teenage twins plotting to reunite their divorced parents by switching places with each other. If you can't be sitting by their pool, you might as well be watching them swimming in it.The Parent Trap is a 1961 American romantic comedy film written and directed by David Swift. In terms of Nancy Meyers famous dream houses, I'm not sure there's any place better than Nick Parker's Napa Valley vineyard. Transport yourself out of the blizzard and into summer camp, a suspiciously bright London, and sunny California via this film. Plus, the movie takes place in the summer and that's a requirement for any snow day movie. But the iconic Elaine Hendrix is a scene-stealer as the film's villain, a young publicist named Meredith Blake who is delightfully awful in every scene that she's in. They have great chemistry together and make you believe in the pretty silly premise. Dennis Quaid is ultimate '90s dad goals and the late Natasha Richardson is really amazing too. There's a reason America was infatuated with Lindsay Lohan: she's really funny and shows surprising range playing both twins, Annie and Hallie.

Family comedy hijinks ensue but what separates this movie from conventional schlock is how good the acting is. The Disney movie was co-written and directed by living legend Nancy Meyers and tells the story of what happens when two sisters - twins! - who were separated at birth reunite at summer camp and hatch a plan to bring their parents back together again.
