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. So that's how I know her.

Speaking of the movie, in my memory, this is a rather old-fashioned story of a pair of twins who spoofed at a summer camp, met each other, and finally got together with their parents. It turned out that it was not. The twins met each other for ten minutes, and they had already decided to switch their identities after more than twenty minutes of the movie. The subsequent plot is very rich and climax after another.

In fact, apart from some coquettish moves, this film does not show very strong old-fashioned characteristics of the 1990s. I even think it is a superior work in popcorn movies, and it belongs to a family movie that makes money with conscience. Because although the twelve-year-old Lindsay Lohan is very cute, the plot is not entirely on her, and even a little moral (?). When the family recognized them several times, it was really touching and heart-wrenching. It made people feel that if they were not really sure, they should not have children easily, or it would be a pity for the children to have no father or mother.

In reality, children of divorced families certainly won't be able to become separated twins, but they usually don't have the luck to get back together. If you're not 100% sure, don't have kids, I think so anyway.
