The Parent Trap

Year: 1998

Rating: PG

Tagline: "Twice the fun, double the trouble."

Reasons they need to see it: It'd be just plain wrong to not let your kids see Lindsay Lohan in her prime, playing both parts of twins Hallie and Annie. Beginning at Summer camp, this movie is full of charm all the way through and will teach your kids that no matter what the situation, love conquers all.

What to watch out for: The "twins'" mischief is harmless for the most part, but I will say that the ear-piercing scene in the beginning made me a little squeamish when I first saw this as an 8-year-old. For children of divorce, it may be smart to have a conversation about the twins' actions that lead to eventually getting their parents back together in the end, if that's not in alignment with what's realistic for your family.
