Correctly interpreting the situation, Annie reveals her identity, and Chessy begins crying in happiness. Chessy uncertainly accepts the explanation and voices her thought that if she didn't know better, she might have thought she was Annie, though she cuts herself off before saying her name. She then lists the oddities that had been going on since she came home from summer camp, and Annie explains it away by saying that she changed a lot over the summer. When Chessy reveals herself to have been sitting in a nearby chair, Annie remarks that she "gave her a fright". Sammy barks at her, and she has difficulty opening the glass door.Ĭhessy later confronts Annie after she, thinking she's alone in the room, voices her stress at the situation with Nick and Meredith, without giving specifics. Chessy's suspicions grow as she only takes a bite of toast before saying she's done. Annie fabricates a story with a clumsiness that Chessy easily sees through, but lets the issue go and tells her that Nick wants to see her after she finishes eating. Annie reassures her, and she brings up that she was talking on the phone the previous night at midnight in her bathroom (a conversation with Hallie in London). The next morning, Chessy prepares a large breakfast for "Hallie", only to grow concerned when she doesn't seem to be hungry, following that she had very little of the chili she made the day before, Hallie's favorite. She welcomes her into the house and helps her unpack, at the same time telling her about Meredith and voicing her suspicions that Meredith is only after Nick for his money (although she encourages "Hallie" to find that out for herself). She is a very observant woman, quickly noticing the changes in behavior that "Hallie" displays after coming home from summer camp, and (correctly) interpreting that Meredith Blake only wants to marry Nick for his fortune.Ĭhessy first appears when Annie, posing as Hallie, comes home from summer camp, greeting her exuberantly. She has been with Nick since Annie and Hallie were born and subsequently has a very close bond with Hallie, perhaps even closer than Nick. You can stream The Parent Trap on Disney Plus or purchase from Amazon Prime Video.Chessy is a kind, loving and caring woman. Dennis Quaid ( father of Jack, soon to be seen in the upcoming Scream 5) is a total DILF in this movie, and this will always be one of the late Natasha Richardson’s most indelible roles. Lindsay Lohan might have a lot of baggage in her adult years, but she really does carry this movie playing two different characters. None of this stops The Parent Trap from being an instant classic of an already classic story. How much does it cost to rent out a yacht for a private dinner? These do not affect the plot at all in any way, but everyone’s just zipping around in Land Rovers and getting driven around in Rolls Royces. Elizabeth is a famous wedding dress designer, Nick owns a large vineyard operation. Also, no one ever brings up the fact that both parents are casually very wealthy. Yeah, you can’t put that toothpaste back in the tube. On the DVD cover to the movie, there are two stills of the girls that are supposed to be one of Hallie and one of Annie. Two things that don’t necessarily fall into the don’t make sense category, but it’s my bully pulpit and I’ve been waiting 23 years to get this off my chest. We’re talking Hallie’s big yellow duffle that only tie-dye girl could yank from the bottom of the heap! Setting aside the fact that there’s no way a bunch of 10-year-old kids could pull this off, how did they do it undetected? Was there no adult supervision to stop them from doing this? Also, it must be said, but Annie did cuppie really dirty putting him on a pike on top of the roof. We’re talking about a big, honking storage chest. We’re talking three twin beds, complete with their frames. The next day, Hallie and her friends go back to their cabin to discover all of their stuff is on the roof. First, after Hallie whips Annie’s tush at poker Annie loses the bet and has to skinny dip in the lake, where Hallie and her friends end up stealing Annie’s clothes. How Did 10 And 11 Year Old Kids Move Furniture Onto The Roof Of A Cabin?Īfter the thrilling fencing match in which Annie bests Hallie, (seriously name me a more memorable fencing scene committed to the silver screen, I’ll wait) the still-don’t-realize-they’re-twins girls begin an escalating series of pranks on each other.
