A contemporary retelling of the classic film of the same name. Hallie (Lindsay Lohan) is a cool girl from California. Annie (Lindsey Lohan, in a double role) is a fair rose from London. When the two accidentally meet at summer camp, they think they have nothing in common except...they're identical twins. Now they're up to their freckles in schemes and dreams to switch places, get their parents back together, and have the family they've always wished for.

Distributor Notes: The Parent Trap Special Double Trouble Edition (1998)
What makes the Special Edition of THE PARENT TRAP so cool isn't just that you get to enjoy Lindsay Lohan's amazing theatrical debut, but that's it's filled with bonus materials you've never seen before. Hallie Parker, a hip Californian, and Annie James, a proper London miss (both played by Lohan) are identical twins who don't even know each other exists -- until they accidentally meet at summer camp. Now they're up to their freckles in schemes and dreams to switch places, get their parents (Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson) back together, and have the family they've always wished for!
