They somehow managed to iron out a really tricky international custody situation, but they don’t remember the breakup, go figure. Not even a little, to the point where their one-on-one dinner scene is literally about how they can’t recall specifically how they ended things. The parents in that film do not hate each other though. Even if these parents hated each other (more on that in a moment) then they could still very easily send their kids to each other than to such a lavish Summer Camp (again, seriously, fencing?). They were apparently torn apart by career-paths, but now both parents are either a rich vineyard owner or an apparently even wealthier fashion designer. One gripe with 1998’s The Parent Trap is that the parent’s separation doesn’t really make any sense. Keep in mind that for the new scenario to work we need to make a few changes to the drama of the film as well. Additionally, there’s no need to have the twins encounter each other right away, allowing for plenty of mix-ups for the people at the school who already know the local-grown twin. Now, one of the twins is coming to the other country as an exchange student. Perhaps one of the parents was in the military and they fell in love with the other while overseas. Make one of the twins an exchange student.

Scrap Summer, we’re going back to school. Sidestepping these qualms entirely the answer is clear. Additionally, if you live in the UK and have taken the time to distance yourself from your previous spouse and other child, going so far as to pretend they don’t exist, why send the child you did keep back to the States at all? Why is this camp so nice (they teach fencing for crying out loud!)? Perhaps this is a relatable situation to some viewers but for the majority of viewers a Summer Camp of such quality is more like a delightful myth or fable. Thommessen, Alexander Cole, J.While watching long lost twin Lohans come together at camp is certainly heartwarming, the scenario falls apart a bit under further scrutiny.
