This is the third adaptation of the mother-daughter body-swap comedy. This version seemed to have no big names and decided to add in uncatchy songs.

7/10

This is an amusing comedy with a slightly unbelievable concept about 2 sets of female identical twins who are swapped at birth so that one sister in each pair is brought up in the wrong family.

Now in adulthood, they end up in the same hotel and have a lot of farcical near misses until they discover each other.

Whoopi Goldberg and Maggie Smith star in this musical comedy about a headliner singer from Reno who has to go into witness protection at a convent.  She takes over the poorly performing choir whilst she is there.

This is a modernised remake of the 1961 film that starred Hayley Mills and Maureen O’Hara. In this version, Lindsay Lohan stars as twins who were separated as babies so that one lived with the mother and the other with the father, and meet up again when they are sent to the same summer camp.  Natasha Richardson and Dennis Quaid star as the parents.

I found this version a lot funnier and more farcical than the original and the quality of the special effects was more advanced than before.

Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan star as the mother and daughter in this remake of the body swap family comedy.

The storyline and special effects are more developed from the earlier version.

Due to the age of the film, the special effects feel a bit dated but it is reasonably amusing.
