"Born to Be" is a family comedy film directed by Nancy Meyers and starring Lindsay Lohan , Dennis Quaid , and Natasha Richardson . The plot is interesting, and the two little protagonists are cute and clever. After watching a movie, it makes people unforgettable. A photo in the movie contains the story of this love, and also tells us an unacceptable fact that it is difficult to cover the water and break the mirror.

The film tells the story of Holly, a lively girl who lives with her father in Napa County, California, and Anne, who lives in London, England with her mother, Elizabeth, who runs a wedding dress design. The divorced parents were sent to a summer camp, and the two girls met through a fencing competition, becoming a pair of ''dead enemies''. What followed was a fun interplay between the two girls.

Two twin sisters with very different personalities

Later, the two girls were separated into the same cabin because they angered the summer camp teacher. The two girls accidentally learned that the other was their twin sisters. When two immature hands trembled slightly to put the broken photos together, the gaps tightly occluded. "Annie, we're like sisters.", "Sisters? Hallie, We're twins!". California, London, 1,000 kilometers, what kind of parents would be willing to let such two little girls be separated for such a long time for 10 years. It's too cruel.

So they started inquiring about each other's lives, discussing their parents, and made an astonishing decision - they were going to switch identities and reunite their divorced parents! As a result, the two clever and eccentric girls started their long-planned plan-to match their parents at all costs, and to design to scare away their father's girlfriend, causing a lot of jokes. Eventually their parents got back together, and the family was reunited again.

Two cute girls designed to scare away dad's girlfriend

The film has a romantic ending - parents separated and fell in love after 11 years, the family broke up and reunited again. But how much love can come back, how can the 11-year gap be connected by vague short-term memory, can two unfamiliar acquaintances be reunited so easily? Good things are gone when they are gone, and they are lost when they are lost, and it is just more difficult to think about reclaiming them again. Birds only know how to cherish the freedom they have after they are locked in the cage, and people only know how to cherish them after they have lost them. So, in front of the screen, please cherish the happiness at hand, don't wait until you lose it before regretting it, cherish all the people around you, cherish those who love you, and cherish the people around you who have been with you all the time!

    Barely two points. Strong cartoon feeling. The face-changing technology in 1998 has no flaws. The arrangement of each paragraph is very clear. In the first half an hour, we meet and design the package adjustment plan. After that, the two ends will be divided into 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, the truth will be revealed, and then 45 minutes will be compounded. The problem is mainly in the last 45 minutes. In this paragraph, the mischief of the twins is the first For a paragraph of rewriting, the plot is destined to be a composite success (even if it is unexpectedly unsuccessful, the drama of the two couples is not written and can't be supported by calls), and the clown-style performance of the engaged woman alone can't be sustained. In fact, this film replaces the fairy tale of a cross-class marriage with a fairy tale that the family always needs to be neat and tidy. The class consciousness is quite obvious. In the single families on both sides, each has a housekeeper who takes care of the master's daily life and has no children. The theme implies the meaning of Anglo-American family, and there is a very small amount of display of Anglo-American differences (the British speak pretentiously), but this cultural difference is not emphasized. Nancy Meyers can't, she can't be a believable character other than a shallow fairy tale
