Trivia:
We learn that Camp Walden is in Maine from seeing the State Flag from Maine as it is going up in the morning and also when it comes down in the rain storm. Also in the scene where Hallie and friends are rigging Annie's room, you see them using vegetable oil from Hannaford Bros, and Great Lost Bear chocolate sauce. Both are local Maine brands. moreGoofs:
Errors in geography: The bird that lands on Meredith, waking her when she is on the air mattress in the middle of the lake, is a Red-Crested Turaco, indigenous to central Africa, not northern California where the scene supposedly takes place. moreQuotes:
Nick Parker: [hiking] I'm going to take the lead. You two help Meredith.Meredith Blake: [looks at the girls] Sure you'll help me. Right over a cliff you'll help me.
Hallie: [whispering to Annie] Not a bad idea.
Annie: Yeah, see any cliffs?

Beleive you me was i skeptical of this movie. First of all the original is a highly regarded film in my house. If it's on t.v the world stops for it. And beleive me when I first heard about the remake i was very very angry because hardly ever does a remake even compare to the original. I didn't understand it of course. Especially how a movie like that cold work in the 90's. I mean reality check what court, let alone parents, in the world would decide to split up a pair of twins let each parent have one never let them even know about the other one and never let them see each one ever again? Puh-Leeze. But boy was I ever wrong.
This movie has every bit as much charm as the original and it's ending (I won't give it away) makes much more sence than the original, they-just-get-together-without-talking-any-of-there- problems-out original.
And huge props to Lindsy Lohen on the accents. I am very big on accents and was overwhelmed at how good she was. I see big things for her.
So go see it. It's truly captivating.
