I watched one of my all-time favorite kid-and-parent movies this weekend, and despite having seen this movie a million times, I HAVE SOME THOUGHTS.

The movie in question is the epic, the iconic, the unparalleled Lindsay Lohan Parent Trap. We’re talking vineyards, pipe-smoking grandfath-ahs, confused golden retrievers, mean Merediths, and of course, we’re talking NANCY MEYERS.

I love this movie. My kids love this movie.

But holy shit, there are some HOLES IN THE PREMISE.
