Parent Trap: Hawaiian Honeymoon

The original 'The Parent Trap' film series ends at its worst point.

'Parent Trap: Hawaiian Honeymoon' is a bore, despite a refreshing change of location though it becomes a bit pointless in the end. There aren't really any 'Parent Trap-y' elements until the third act, with a lot of this dedicated to potential romances for two of the three sisters.

All the cast remain which I always appreciate; same roles but different actors always bother me. Hayley Mills (Susan/Sharon), Barry Bostwick (Jeffrey) and the Creel sisters are all solid enough. None of the new characters, e.g. Jayne Meadows' Charlotte, add all that much though.

At least they saw sense by ending things here, well until they remade the 1961 film nine years after the release of this anyway. My overall feelings for these quartet of films are largely respectful, which I didn't expect to be frank. 1 is the only great watch, though 2 is good - I could've done without 3 & 4.

For those of you who are Hayley Mills fans, this movie is sure not to disappoint. It's full of laughs and twists and mistaken identities that never seem to get old. I've loved this movie since I was a kid and it I still enjoy watching it. Tori (Leanna Creel) from Saved by Bell does an amazing job with her real life sisters, which makes this a unique feature to the film-they are in fact triplets. It is the story of a family who inherits a hotel in Hawaii, and the father agrees to take his three daughters there en route to his honeymoon destination of Austrailia. His new wife, Hayley Mills, is for once a little manipulated herself by the step-daughters, although they just want what's best for "Dad and Susan," which includes hurrying them down under so they can party Wyatt-style in the old hotel. Worrying about selling it to a respectable owner keeps everyone busy for longer than expected, however...Granted, it is a little dated and the plot lines are not entirely believable, but isn't that what we love about Hayley Mills movies??

I love the Hawaiian islands -- especially the old Waimea plantation-style experience. This movie captures much of the fun in a superficial yet charming tale of a family who inherits a wreck of an Hawaiian resort. Is it raining or snowing tonight? Pop some popcorn and curl up in front of this escapist flick.

Good watch, probably won't watch again, and can't recommend.

I can't believe it took 3 movies to get back to being relatively charming again.

We get the triplet shuffle this time, dealing with the girls' dates in a positive fashion, we get twin shuffling, and the plot of "we inherited a tiny Hawaiian hotel" is one that I want to see again!

It's not a great movie by far, but it was fun.

I thought this movie wasn't funny at all. I didn't laugh a single time. I think the jokes wasn't funny, and the acting was poor. There are probably thousands of better movies.
