Parent Trap: Hawaiian Honeymoon

What's NOT to love about this cute little addition to a childhood favorite franchise?

A). It's the Parent Trap and B). They're in Hawaii! Sure it has some plot holes here and there, but it's got a lot of charm. I recently watched this again as an adult and it's just as good as I remember on Wonderful World of Disney!

So if you're in the mood for something fun & nostalgic with beautiful scenery sprinkled on top, this is your flick.

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.

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.

I'm not a big fan of this movie, but it's still nice to see Hayley Mills and Barry Bostwick in a continuation of Parent Trap III. Even I'll admit it, making a movie called "Parent Trap: Hawaiian Honeymoon" is pushing it a little - but to those who grew up loving Hayley Mills (like my father) and those who grew up loving Leanna Creel from Saved By the Bell (like me) this movie is worth a look at. Would have been nice if they'd gotten Tom Skirrett from "Parent Trap II" back... but, oh well. It's amusing, but probably only to those die-hard Parent Trap fans.

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.
