![]() ![]() Even for a kid who didn’t grow up going to sleepaway camp, the girls’ camp scenes are so relatable. The 1998 soundtrack still makes me so happy, but I’ll focus on the whole spectacle here. I saw Lindsay’s movie before I was introduced to Hayley’s classic. This is the first movie I remember seeing in theaters…I would have just turned 4! I am also a big fan of the original Hayley Mills version, but I often think of Lindsay Lohan’s simply for the comfort of my childhood memories. The Parent Trap is a staple for a ’90s girl like me, and it’s another summer tale that will carry you through all the feelings. If you’re looking for an emotional story that will take you through one specific summer in a young woman’s life, spend some time with this film. The warm and loving grandpa, portrayed by James Whitmore, always believed in Vicky’s poetry. She has a sunny New England summer and cherishes conversations with her grandfather, but, very sadly, he dies of leukemia. Vicky learns that she can communicate with dolphins while she’s helping Adam with his aquatic research. She and her siblings are staying with their grandfather for the summer, and Vicky has two incredibly difficult choices for the love of her life: Ryan Merriman as Adam and Jared Padalecki as Zachery. The movie stars Mischa Barton as Vicky Austin. It’s an adaptation of Madeleine L’Engle’s book by the same name. A Ring of Endless Light (2002)Īlso filmed in Australia, A Ring of Endless Light is one of those more serious DCOMs that I happen to love. It’s a fantastic community party with a band that plays “Island in the Sun” so that Aqua and Ray can have an adorable date. I won’t spoil the ending except to say that there is a “Last Splash” in the development of the story. If Claire and Hailey can get hunky Raymond to fall in love with Aqua, she’ll grant the girls a wish, which would be to keep Hailey and her mother from moving to, ironically, Australia. Anyway, Aquamarine (Paxton) graces Hailey and Claire with her presence, and she’s a convincing mermaid. The Times also graded Aquamarine and gave it a C? Rude. The film was shot in Australia, per the Tampa Bay Times. Roberts and JoJo play Claire and Hailey, respectively, teen besties who live in the Tampa area. These ladies brought the best of tween/teen Hollywood with their combined experiences across Nickelodeon, Disney, the music industry, and seemingly random but cool miscellaneous projects (see Emma Roberts’ Nancy Drew movie and Sara Paxton in Darcy’s Wild Life). Hence the title of this listicle, “The Last Splash.” Emma Roberts, JoJo, Sara Paxton, truly the dream team. ![]() A lucky seven for your last splash! Though not all of these are Disney films, they’re all on Disney+ at the time of writing. In the spirit of wrapping up another summer, I’ve compiled a list of movies suited to this season. The Labor Day blowout, the church/school retreat on a lake, those last few beach trips or pool days before it’s technically not summer anymore. I live in Michigan now, and I don’t see too many Rooms to Go commercials, but the sentiment remains. those “last hoo-rah” pool parties that didn’t mean a whole lot considering how hot Florida would continue to be for a significant portion of the year. way too many commercials for Rooms to Go furniture sales. I remember a couple things about this season growing up: 1. ![]() As we reach a time that is so distinctly end-of-summer, it’s normal to have mixed feelings.
