      another me

      It's an amazing movie. It doesn't feel like a person's performance at all. Maybe this is what an actor calls acting. No matter what kind of person she becomes.

      Everyone has had youth, everyone has the right to make mistakes, but when some things are not only related to ourselves, we also need to calm down and think carefully. The two children had to be separated from the other closest person because of their parents' momentary anger. It's not that they didn't give their...

      match made in heaven

      I rarely watch comedies, because I can't stand the too absurd plot in some comedies.

      This 1998 "Born to Be" doesn't make the best comedy in my heart, but it does have an interesting plot. The twins met at the summer camp. The two tried their best to reunite their parents who had been separated for 11 years. After a bit of ups and downs, they finally succeeded in the challenge.

      Twenty years later, the movie still feels very good. Although there are some doubts and...

      keep on loving

      The film begins with a pair of twins meeting at a summer camp, which involves the love story of their parents. Back then, we didn't know how to maintain our relationship, thinking that leaving was the best arrangement, but as long as we still have each other in our hearts, time can't make us forget, we should meet again. The kids gave them a chance, and we started to love each other again. It's a bit funny and thought-provoking, knowing that leaving will affect the child, why can't we...

      Everyone loves the protagonist, but what did Dad's girlfriend do wrong, she is the mistress...

      This girlfriend, who has become a villain with the effect of the movie, is really miserable in real life... Imagine a young and beautiful woman who falls in love with the diamond king and finally wins the relationship. I'm about to get married, but because my boyfriend's daughter wants to match her boyfriend with her ex-wife who hasn't been in contact for more than ten years (what the hell is the reason by the way), she's abruptly torn apart... Being teased, tricked, and dragged while...

      private nostalgia

      I watched it on TV when I was very young (and it seemed to be in English, maybe ICS), and have very interesting and warm memories, I even remember it was lunch time and inhaled lunch during the ad break. But when I grew up, I wanted to revisit it and found no resources until I saw it on Tencent.

      And at that time, I didn't even know that the starring child was the famous Lindsay Lohan. Later, when I saw Lindsay Lohan in other places, I always felt a very familiar and beautiful feeling....

      The quirky little loli has a happy family reunion. Richardson really looks like Princess Diana, and has a temperament, but it's a pity that Yiren died young, how could he be willing to leave Uncle Liam...

    Movie plot

    At a summer camp in Maine, eleven-year-old Holly Parker ( Linsey Lohan ) met Anne James (Linsey Lohan) . Despite their striking similarities, they were rivals at first. Holly didn't like Anne, and Anne also didn't want to pay attention to Holly. But both of them have some common traits: allergic to strawberries, good at playing cards and pranks. When the two were sarcastic with each other, they inadvertently talked about their father...

    "Natural Couple" is a remake of the 1961 movie "Dad Loves Mom". Lindsay Lohan, who played the twin sisters in this film, was so innocent and lovely at the time. This is her most popular and lovable role. , Director Nancy Meyers filmed the film with great respect for the original, and only made some changes to the background, location, and props, even though Lindsay Lohan’s version of Susan subverted Hayley Mills in 1961 The boy-style...

    • Elizabeth James: [after the limo pulls up to the end of an empty pier and everyone gets out] Where are we?

      Nick Parker: This is where we're eating?

      Hallie: [Pointing to a 100+ foot yacht] No. Actually, *that's* where we're eating.

      Annie: She's ours for the night.

      Nick Parker: Wow. So, how exactly are we paying for this?

      Annie: Well, we pooled our allowances.

      Nick Parker: Yeah. Right. Annie?

      Annie: Okay. Grandfather chipped in a bit.

      Elizabeth James: Annie!

      Annie: Okay. He chipped in a lot.

    • Hallie as Annie: Doesn't designing all these wedding dresses ever make you think about getting married again; or at least make you think about the "f" word?

      Elizabeth James: The "f" word?

      Hallie as Annie: My father!

    • Elizabeth James: [Hallie, as Annie, is underneath Elizabeth's covers struggling to tell her about the switch] Annie!

      Elizabeth James: That would be correct.

      Elizabeth James: You're Hallie?

      Hallie as Annie: I am. Annie and I met up at camp and, and we decided to switch places. I'm sorry, but I've never seen you and I've dreamt of meeting you my whole life and Annie felt the exact same way about Dad so, so we sort of just switched lives. I hope you're not mad because I love you so much, and I just hope that one day you could love me as me, and not as Annie.

      Elizabeth James: Oh darling, I've loved you your whole life.

      Martin, the James' Butler: [sobbing after he kisses Grandfather's hand] I've never been so happy in my entire life!
