This time around, the tables are turned on Sharon
(Hayley Mills) as her daughter (Carrie Kei Heim) and twin sister (also played
by Mills) plan to trick a single sports writer (Tom Skerritt) into falling in
love with her – however, she doesn’t know anything about it.
David Nusair said in his review, “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. The thoroughly unimpressive visuals and amateurish supporting performances
certainly don't help matters, although Skerritt is surprisingly charming as the
befuddled would-be boyfriend. Add to that several incredibly dated references
(a character is tricked into leaving the room by the promise of a hunky boy who
resembles Ralph Macchio), and you've got a complete waste of time that's highly
unlikely to appeal to fans of the original.”
I saw this on YouTube and I don’t see the reason why
they decided to make a sequel to a film that I wasn’t a fan of. It just made
the film feel superfluous, as you might have guessed by this review. Do
yourself a favor and never see this sequel. If you saw the first film and liked
it, this one is not for you. Especially with the amount of time that has passed
since the release of the original. Just to think the first two films are always
together on a DVD release, and I don’t know why.
If you thought that was the end, it’s not, sadly. We’re
going to look at the next sequel tomorrow in “Disney Month 2023.”
