10/10
Best adaptation of Kaestner's book
6 July 2006
Warning: Spoilers
This is a wonderful movie; so much better than any of the "Parent Traps" or "Charlie and Louise". Isa and Jutta Guenther are charming and the movie is quite well acted, both by the twins and the numerous other fine actors and actresses, many very well known in the German film industry.

I think the twins look extraordinarily alike, except for one pose of the portraits they have taken together. I don't understand why the director chose the only one of those portraits in which the twins look different. We catch glimpses of the other poses in which the girls look identical. Too bad.

Actually, the dream sequence is my least favorite part of the film. I think may favorite scene may be the false Lottchen's first (and only) disaster in the kitchen.

I have only seen this film available in German with no subtitles.
