Short description

Hallie Parker and Annie James are identical twins separated at a young age because of their parents' divorce. Unknowingly to their parents, the girls are sent to the same summer camp where they meet, discover the truth about themselves, and then plot with each other to switch places.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The plot is based on the work of German writer Erich Kästner, "The Double Lottie" (Das doppelte Lottchen).
  • Initially, Michelle Trachtenberg was supposed to play the twins. Coincidentally, her birthday is on October 11th, the same day as Holly and Annie's.
  • The lost boy in the camp is played by Michael Lohan, Lindsay's brother.
  • When Holly arrives at the London airport in the film, Lindsay's mother, Dina Lohan, can be seen in the crowd holding Lindsay's brother, Dakota Lohan.
  • The twins' names in the film were chosen deliberately. The daughters of the film's director, Nancy Meyers, and producer, Charles Shyer, are named Annie and Holly Meyers-Shyer. Both girls played small roles in the film.
  • When Holly walks with her mother to the wedding studio and they cross the road, the scene clearly references the cover of The Beatles' album 'Abbey Road'. At the same time, the song 'Here Comes the Sun' is playing.
