The Parent Trap (1998) / int_10d7f712	comment	Dangerous Interrogative: Meredith threatens to make life hell for Hallie and Annie when she marries their father, Nicholas, as the twins try to make her life hell during the Horrible Camping Trip (for Meredith anyway) they're on in order to break them up. This happens again when Meredith is finally at her wits' end thanks to the twins and has it out with her fiancee over them:

The Parent Trap (1998) / int_117c6f30	comment	Old Man Marrying a Child: Used as an indirect accusation delivered with Sugary Malice. When Nick tells his daughter that Meredith is about to become part of the family, she surely understands right away that he's talking about marriage. However, she pretends to innocently misunderstand him and get all ecstatic about how she's always wanted an older sister. Annie (pretending to be Hallie) immediately asks Meredith her age and points out that she's only fifteen years older.

The Parent Trap (1998) / int_1cf11f13	comment	No Sympathy: Zigzagged. When the Marva's find Annie's cabin is trashed, and Hallie tried to stop her from going inside, they peg a few things: Annie's cabin was the victim of a prank, and a result of her and Hallie bickering. As they start to blame each other, the counselor gives them a Big "SHUT UP!". Rather than punishing everyone in Annie's cabin for something that wasn't their fault, she orders both cabins to march and forces Annie and Hallie to room together to settle their differences. Overall, that's a fair response considering in the original movie the trashed cabin failed to pass inspection.

The Parent Trap (1998) / int_20f689e9	type	Adaptational Villainy
The Parent Trap (1998) / int_20f689e9	comment	Adaptational Villainy: In the original book, the father's fiancÃ©e is clearly an unsympathetic antagonist, but hardly a villain — she seemed to genuinely like the girls' father (even if attracted to his fame as well), wanted to have her own children with him and only planned to get rid of his daughter (by sending her to boarding school) after the latter came to her house to openly object to their marriage. In the movie she's portrayed as a Child Hater and Gold Digger (in the book, she's in fact much richer than her would-be husband) who Would Hurt a Child. The twins' prank war against their father's Gold Digger fiancÃ©e goes much farther here than the one in the '61 version- Hallie and Annie actually haul the sleeping Meredith's air mattress into the lake, an action which could have quite easily led to her drowning (especially considering that she had taken "one large sleeping pill" before going to bed that night). By contrast, the worst Sharon and Susan do to Vicky is booby trap her tent and put honey on her feet, which attracts two black bear cubs (who, as Hecky points out, are far more interested in the honey than they are in Vicky).

The Parent Trap (1998) / int_26ac510e	type	Mythology Gag
The Parent Trap (1998) / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: Meredith's mother is not only named Vicki, like Meredith's equivalent in the original movie, but played by the same actress, Joanna Barnes. Meredith also wears a similar charm bracelet to Vicki, which was a deliberate Shout-Out by Elaine Hendrix. Meredith talks on the phone to a Reverend Moseby, a character from the original film. The camp counselors have the last name Kulp, as a tribute to Nancy Kulp, who played the younger counselor in the 1961 version. When Annie needs to call Hallie in London, she gives her name as "Mildred Plotka" to keep her and Hallie's identities a secret. She also uses Mildred as a cover for Hallie when she's caught on the call by Chessy. This is a double-barrelled reference, to both the 1961 movie and to Carole Lombard's character in the 1934 film Twentieth Century. The hotel where everyone meets up, The Stafford, is named for a boy Susan spoke to during the camp dance in the original.

The Parent Trap (1998) / int_308a5ff0	comment	Strange Minds Think Alike: One of the first signs that the girls' similarities run deeper than their looks is the fact that both of them like to eat Oreos topped with peanut butter, which everybody else seems to find disgusting. More so because both Oreos and peanut butter are far less commonly sold in Britain than they are in America; the English-raised Annie liking that particular combination of food would be especially unusual.

The Parent Trap (1998) / int_35b241c0	comment	Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: Happens to both Hallie and Annie, more often to whoever has a British accent at the moment. Often it's the In-Character version of the trope. Lindsay Lohan had to play four accents — American, British, American pretending to be British, and British pretending to be American. The latter two had accents slipping. Lohan does a remarkable job in the scene at the hotel where she's basically playing four characters at once — Hallie, Annie, Hallie pretending to be Annie and Annie pretending to be Hallie. She switches up the accents just enough to do exactly what Hallie and Annie were after (confuse the heck out of Mom and Dad). Annie's accent slipping into American would probably be justified by spending eight weeks at an American camp with mostly American girls.

This includes pouring honey on one girl and shaving cream on another, stringing the entire cabin, placing water balloons to fall on the girls, and placing feathers on the top of the ceiling fan so that they would float down when the fan was turned on. The fan was also booby trapped to pull on a certain string. That had to take hours and involve ladders moving around the cabin. Justified with Meredith on the camping trip. She stated she was going to take a large, presumably powerful sleeping pill.

Meredith is much more of a City Mouse; she comes directly from San Francisco, and she's really out of her element on the family camping trip.

Her appetite is significantly different from that of the Hallie she knows, Sammy barks threateningly at her, and her language is more proper. She almost tells "Hallie" about Annie, leading to Annie confiding in Chessy that she is Annie. That being said, Grandfather notices something similar about "Annie".

The Parent Trap (1998) / int_5663a595	comment	Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: Making one of the twins British throws a huge wrench into the main plot. American summer holidays usually last between two and a half and three months. British students, on the other hand, don't get theirs until July, and only for six weeks. So unless Annie is home-schooled with a very lenient tutor, it's unlikely she'd even be able to go to Camp Walden in the first place (it's mentioned that the girls were at camp for eight weeks). In the original both twins were Americans, so it was no big deal.

The Parent Trap (1998) / int_613fa807	comment	Identical Twin ID Tag: At the start, the twins are easily distinguishable by their individual senses of style, including their respective hairdos, and clothing, as well as their accents. Throughout the course of their time at camp, they learn about each other's mannerisms, and toward the end of the session, they alter their appearances so that each can pose as the other. The only way to tell them apart in the third act is by the accents, and they're able to fake those convincingly enough that not even the girls' father can be completely sure he knows which is which. Notably, in scenes where the audience is supposed to know which is which (the Stafford Hotel, dinner on the ocean liner etc) Annie wears her hair down with her bangs pulled away from her face with a hair band, and Hallie wears her hair up or half-up with her bangs loose.

Given that the twins' final prank on her was pulling her air mattress out while she's sleeping on it in the middle of the night onto the lake, which could have had lethal results (especially considering she had taken "one large sleeping pill" before going to bed), it's not hard to see why that one would be the final straw for her leading to her Villainous Breakdown.

She gets annoyed with Annie/"Hallie" for figuring out that she wants to marry Nick for his money and plans to ship her away after they get married. She finally snaps during the camping trip after the girls' numerous pranks and demands that Nick choose between her and his daughters.

Annie, pretending to be Hallie, reveals that she knows more about marriage and sex than just The Talk when she pokes at Meredith's motivations for marrying Nick.

The Parent Trap (1998) / int_e5a11ab1	comment	Stopped Dead in Their Tracks: When Chessy questions why "Hallie" (actually her sister, Annie) is acting so strangely, she starts to say it's almost as if Hallie was someone else. Chessy starts to walk off, dismissing the idea, until "Hallie" mentions Annie. This shocks Chessy into stopping since Hallie isn't supposed to know Annie exists. When the twins' parents Elizabeth and Nick see each other for the first time in eleven years, Nick is holding his younger fiancÃ© Meredith in the elevator. Since he was unaware Elizabeth was coming, and Elizabeth was unaware Nick was engaged to someone else, they both stop in their tracks, stunned as the elevator doors close on Nick and Meredith.

They also become attracted to each other at first sight and end up being the Beta Couple. Martin is more soft-spoken and subtle about his snark, while Chessy makes it especially clear she's got her own opinions about what unfolds. Besides, she had to be tough to be a maid to a single, manly guy and a nanny to his tomboy daughter.
