So how does this end? I'll let you watch and find out.

And let's face it, the girls wouldn't like their new stepmom if she was Mary Poppins because she would be busting up their dreams of a reunified family. It was just a plot device to get the girls to reveal their switcheroo and thus get mom to fly to California and get the parents talking again, and to have an excuse for the girls not to like their stepmother to be, whose only problem seems to be that she is just not the outdoors type to be living on a ranch. He could live a long time and he could go broke. It's not like Gerry Hall is marrying Rupert Murdock here. Now every synopsis I have seen describes bride-to-be Vicki as a golddigger, but let's face it. The thing that upends their plans is that dad is getting ready to remarry. So, now that they are each curious about their other parent, they decide turnabout is fair play and go back home to the parent they have never seen with each masquerading as the other. They cause trouble for each other with their pranks, until things escalate to the point that they are punished by being forced to live together in the same cabin in the woods. Thus they have nothing in common but their looks. One has been raised in upper crust Boston, the other on a ranch in Monterrey. The two children end up at the same camp at the same time! Again, big screw up by the parents. Into this rather bizarre arrangement comes a summer camp to mess everything up. Not only in the first ten odd years of their lives does neither parent ever see (you don't know if they inquire via the other parent) the other child, they deny to both children the knowledge that they have a sibling! What judge would sign off on this deal? Wouldn't grandparents intervene or try to sneak a peak at the other grandchild in all of this time? Disney seems to have created a world where none of these questions are asked and the parents are free to write up any child custody agreements they care to arrange in a vacuum. One baby of their identical twin girls goes to dad (Brian Keith), and the other to mom (Maureen O'Hara). is anybody else but me disturbed by the entire premise? Two people divorce, for reasons never spoken in the film, and they literally divide the child in half ala Solomon. Reviewed by AlsExGal 8 / 10 Probably the best of Disney's live action features BUT.
