    • Trivia
      For her split screen scenes, Lindsay Lohan wore an earpiece which would play back the dialogue of the other sister.
    • Goofs
      When Annie says good-bye to her butler, she says she'll see him in 8 weeks. When Annie is driving back home with her father she says camp was 8 weeks long. However, when Hallie is talking to her mother at the dinner table, Elizabeth says camp was 6 weeks long.

      Nick Parker: What's going on?

      Meredith Blake: Here's what's going on, buddy: the day we get married is the day I ship those brats off to Switzerland, get the picture? It's me, or them. Take your pick.

      Nick Parker: Them.

      [Hallie and Annie stare at each other excitedly]

      Meredith Blake: Excuse me?

      Nick Parker: T-H-E-M, them.

      [staring into Meredith's face]

      Nick Parker: Get the picture?

    • Crazy credits
      During the opening credits, it says "A Nancy Meyers/Charles Shyer Film," even though only the former is the director.
    • Alternate versions
      All UK versions are cut by the BBFC to remove 1 second showing imitable detail in the ear piercing scene.

    Good family film
    This was cute. Lindsay Lohan wasn't the best actor in the world, I must admit, but for a child actor, she wasn't terrible. The part when they were at camp was a bit boring, but after you got into the movie, it was pretty good. Good film to watch with your whole family.
