Alan Silvestri's score is similarly pleasant but forgettable, but it all adds up to a diverting soundtrack. Nat King Cole's "L-O-V-E," the Lovin' Spoonful's "Do You Believe in Magic," Linda Ronstadt's "I Love You for Sentimental Reasons," Young-Holt Unlimited's "Soulful Strut," George Thorogood's "Bad to the Bone," and the La's' magnificent "There She Goes" provide an eclectic but entertaining core to this fun, if unremarkable soundtrack. It is a remake of the 1962 film of the Story by Dodie Smith. Its weakest moments are the newer tracks they're reasonably entertaining - Super 8 lead vocalist Bob Khaleel acquits himself well on a cover of "Here Comes the Sun," and Nobody's Angel's revival of the Hayley Mills tune "Let's Get Together" is appropriately fun - but they don't quite compare to the originals that comprise the rest of the album. The Parent Trap is a 1998 American romantic comedy-drama film co-written and directed by Nancy Meyers, and produced and co-written by Charles Shyer Based on the Story by Dodie Smith. The movie turned out to be quite enjoyable, and the soundtrack comes close to being equally fun.
Considering that The Parent Trap was virtually designed as a marketing exercise, it's not surprising that its soundtrack feels as carefully assembled as the film itself.
