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 incomprehension about the emotional line of the story, the theme of reunion is very joyful.

    Chessy, the Parker's Maid: Nobody, nobody, forget I mentioned it.

    Annie as Hallie: Almost if I were - Annie?

    Elizabeth James: I agree, it totally sucks.
