Why The Parent Trap scores this way

Identical twins separated at birth meet by chance at summer camp and scheme to reunite their divorced parents by swapping places. This live-action comedy is warm and largely gentle, with light pranks and the emotional weight of a broken family; the most intense element is sentimental tension rather than peril.
