Elsie: You’re listening to A Stunning Mess Podcast, your cozy consolation pay attention. This week we’re discussing the Father or mother Lure, the 1998 model starring Lindsay Lohan and directed by Nancy Myers. You knew this one was coming. That is an final summer season episode, so describing the film, for individuals who haven’t watched, I hope you’ve all watched this film. When you haven’t, it’s on Disney Plus when you have Disney plus. I personally suppose it’s the perfect factor on Disney Plus. That’s my primary factor if I am going on there for one thing that I simply wanna watch to placed on, I watched it just lately after I was like unpacking our kitchen, the day we obtained our pod, and it’s simply such a great consolation film to have on within the background when you’re doing one thing. It’s very joyful. Okay, so the premise is that this, similar twins, Annie and Holly separated at beginning in every race by considered one of their organic dad and mom uncover one another for the primary time at summer season camp and make a plan to convey their wayward dad and mom again collectively. 

Emma: Sure. And let me simply say, this film is loopy, proper? The entire premise is nuts. I stored considering that as I used to be watching it. So, we’ve finished numerous Nancy Meyers films already, and I’m positive we’ll do extra, however I feel that is the one one we’ve finished in perhaps her solely children’ film, it’s a family-friendly film. You understand, prefer it’s sophisticated I wouldn’t essentially share that with a child. 

Elsie: I feel that is her solely child’s film formally.

Emma: Yeah, I feel so. It is a family-friendly Disney Plus sort film. When you’re watching a child’s film, you’re like, yeah, I’ll droop my disbelief fairly a bit right here as a result of I’m open to mermaids and magic. We’re doing children’ films. However I do really feel just like the premise of that is simply loopy. Are you able to think about having twins and being like, we wanna separate, so you are taking one and I’ll take one other and we’re gonna stay in numerous international locations and never even inform them they’ve a sibling. How would you not miss the opposite child? I don’t know. The entire premise is wild. It’s completely wild. 

Elsie: The premise. Yeah, it’s somewhat offensive for those who let your self give it some thought. I might advocate not doing that I might advocate not enthusiastic about it an excessive amount of. 

Emma: They find yourself on the similar summer season camp. One among them lives in England and he or she leads to a US summer season camp, the identical one as her twin sister who mentions that she’s throughout the nation to this summer season camp. So she lives in California and I assume this summer season camp is, In New York or someplace. I don’t know the place it’s, however it’s someplace on the east coast cuz they talked about that.

Elsie: Yeah. I’ll let you know one factor I’m not making an attempt to do is use my children a summer season camp in a unique a part of the nation. 

Emma: I do know. And so they each find yourself choosing the identical one. The camp does look cute. I’ll give them that.

Elsie: It’s a cute camp. 

Emma: Yeah, it does look actually cute. And I really feel like that’s one factor that makes this a really summertime film as a result of summer season camp is so iconic, however they’re actually solely on the camp for the primary half-hour of the film or much less. So it’s not even essentially the largest half. 

Elsie: Yeah, however I like it. I’ve a lot enjoyable watching it each single time. This film’s insane and the little Lindsay Lohan British accent is lovely. 

Emma: It’s good.

Elsie: It’s humorous. I don’t know if it’s good or not. I’m not a British individual. 

Emma: Simply ask children to do an accent for you, and I’ll let you know, this child is doing top-shelf Oscar-worthy in comparison with what’s on the market. I’m gonna make enjoyable. I can’t do accents. However ask any child round you, do an accent, do a British accent. It is a good child accent, I might say. She’s nailing it. She’s somewhat child. 

Elsie: Okay, so reminiscences from once you first watched this film? I don’t bear in mind the primary time I watched it, however I do know that I’ve watched it most likely greater than 10 occasions. I’ve watched it fairly a bit. I do not forget that I attempted to observe it with Nova at first of the Covid quarantine period, and he or she was nonetheless too younger for it.

Emma: She was bored. 

Elsie: Yeah, I feel she was 5, she simply turned 5 at the moment. Yeah, It was boring for her and simply didn’t final, didn’t work. However now she watches it fairly a bit and it’s kicking in. 

Emma: I’m positive she’s like, what are all these pranks? Ought to I prank do these pranks?

Elsie: Yeah. I attempt to promote each film that’s not a cartoon as if it’s like Residence Alone as a result of that film is so widespread in our home.

Emma: This one sort of is. They actually “Residence Alone” with one another all through the start after they’re at summer season camp, the pranks are elaborate. You’re like, the place did they get all these provides? How did they’ve time to set all this up? However they do by some means. 

Elsie: Sure. It’s superb. Yeah. 

Emma: The pranks are good. 

Elsie: Do you bear in mind once you first watched it?

Emma: I don’t know the way outdated I used to be, however I bear in mind considering I used to be fairly into Clueless rising up. And so I really feel prefer it will need to have been round that point I watched this for the primary time, I don’t know. As a result of I bear in mind considering that the British one, Annie, all her little outfits jogged my memory of Clueless, somewhat child model of Clueless, as a result of she would have an identical headband. And she or he would have numerous plaid or tweet-looking sort issues. And I actually appreciated that trigger I used to be very into the outfits, Annie’s specifically.

Elsie: That is sensible. Oh my gosh. Yeah. I feel they’re most likely about the identical time. I feel Clueless is like 96 or 90. 

Emma: I don’t know. Let’s look it up. Now I’m curious trigger I’m like, I really feel like I watched this after Clueless, and I don’t know if I watched them each. I do know I watched Clueless across the time it got here out. 

Elsie: Clueless is 95, so this can be a couple of years after. 

Emma: Okay. Yeah, that is sensible. 

Elsie: Cool. Okay, let’s break down the decor inspiration. I feel that this film for me, it’s like a really sturdy love, after which there’s components of it the place you’re like eh, it’s very nineties. I don’t know. So the camp, I feel that the cabins are an enormous supply of inspiration.

Emma: I agree. 

Elsie: I really like that aesthetic on the whole. 

Emma: It’s very like wooden, like log cabins, is the vibe. 

Elsie: For me with if I get a clothes advert in my e mail and it appears like they’re photographed at like a campsite or by a cabin, I’m extra occupied with it, it appeals to me. So I simply suppose that that’s similar to a great aesthetic on the whole. And the opposite factor I wished to say is that final week, we cleared out the spot simply confirmed Emma in our yard, it was kind of like jungley and simply problematic, vines that have been gonna kill bushes and stuff. So it obtained cleared out, which was so thrilling. After which, as soon as it obtained cleared out, we realized there was like sort of this huge part of the yard to the aspect. It’s in our entrance yard, however it’s to the aspect all the best way within the nook the place there’s sufficient room to construct a playhouse. So I’ve been considering of constructing a cabin-style playhouse. 

Emma: That might be cute. 

Elsie: So yeah, that is the factor I need emails about and DMs and all the things is your greatest inspiration for a cabin-style tree home, a playhouse. I’m open about the way it’s constructed, however I feel I do need it to be two tales and I need it to be fairly epic if I’m gonna go for the work. Yeah, I need it to be one thing they’ll climb up in and it feels very magical to them. Anyway, so yeah, cabins are an enormous inspiration and I really like that a part of this film and I feel it’s good that it’s at first as a result of it simply units the scene for the entire thing. 

Emma: Yeah, they usually all have like duffel luggage as they’re exhibiting as much as camp and there’s a faculty bus dropping a number of the children off or their children are clearly getting dropped off by their dad and mom. Annie exhibits up in a limo, I feel, which once more, is what’s occurring with this. After which I really feel just like the camp counselors put on uniforms. They’ve a sure sort of uniform aesthetic, which is de facto, actually cute. However yeah, not an enormous a part of the film is even on the camps, however I really feel like for a way a lot of an impression it leaves, it’s an enormous inside impression for a small period of time within the film. Let’s speak about it. Annie’s home and Hallie’s home as a result of after camp they determine to modify locations they usually’re gonna father or mother lure their dad and mom, which implies they’re gonna get ’em again collectively. And I felt like I had sort of forgotten, however as I used to be watching it once more, I used to be like, oh, I really feel like considered one of these homes is sort of what Elsie would do within the nineties and one of many homes, as a result of they’re each very nineties after which one of many homes, I used to be like, that’s the one I might need.

Elsie: Okay, so I might need Annie’s home for positive. 

Emma: That’s what I believed, the British Home.

Elsie: I can see what you’d see within the Winery Home for positive. So the British home is a phenomenal brownstone and also you stroll right into a staircase and the colours are very nineties, which I discover pleasant. I really like the nineties, considered one of my favourite interiors of all time is the Residence Alone home. It has an identical coloration palette to that, however somewhat extra peachy. There’s a examine the place her grandfather is, which I don’t know if meaning their grandfather lives with them, that half is unclear. 

Emma: Sort of appeared like perhaps, however perhaps don’t know. 

Elsie: I imply, why else would he have a examine of their home? 

Emma: Yeah, it appeared like an even bigger home. So perhaps all of them stay there? Yeah, I don’t know.

Elsie: I just like the peachy tones. I like the normal, I feel nineties conventional decor is certainly up my alley. I ought to give a shout-out, our good friend Elise has been doing this collection on her Instagram. So her Instagram is @ Elise Pleasure, and he or she’s been doing this collection for greater than 20 components, and it’s a collection about older design books, like within the inspiration, she finds them they usually’re largely from the nineties. Yeah, I might say they’re largely from the nineties. So undoubtedly verify that out when you have any sort of a delicate spot. I did a thrift books corridor of all of Martha Stewart’s books from the eighties, nineties, and early two thousand. Simply each Martha Stewart ebook that I used to be occupied with, I purchased in at some point and it was like numerous good nineties inspiration. Anyway, the London home is for positive mine. 

Emma: It’s, I really feel prefer it has some painted molding too. Which I felt like a great match for you. I really feel like your present home has numerous unique wooden. So that you’re not portray that, however like when it’s already painted, numerous occasions you paint it the identical coloration because the room, issues like that. And there was one different factor. Oh yeah, so there’s the scene the place it’s truly Hallie, however she’s pretending she’s Annie and he or she’s assembly her mother for the primary time they usually’re in her mother’s bed room speaking, I feel they’re about to go to a photograph shoot or one thing, and he or she is taking a look at her mother’s dresser or self-importance and there’s this crystal, I feel it’s a lamp that has like these crystals hanging off of it, and also you see her fragrance bottles. And I feel what the film’s wanting us to really feel is, she grew up with out a mother and now she’s seeing all this quote-unquote girly stuff sort of factor. Or only a completely different aesthetic that’s not in her present life. And she or he’s exploring that and discovering it stunning. You may see the look on Lindsay Lohan’s face, she’s simply amazed. And so they make the crystal, the sunshine from it, dance on her face. It’s nearly like she’s discovering her mother by means of the decor as nicely, and I simply actually beloved that a part of the film. I simply really feel like they accomplish that a lot with units in Nancy Meyer’s films, so it’s enjoyable after they use it as part of the story. And that half for me similar to actually stood out as they’re instructing us about her mom and the best way she feels about assembly her mom from taking a look at her self-importance of fragrance bottles and no matter else. It’s very cute. However sure, let’s speak concerning the winery.

Elsie: That’s so candy.

Emma: It’s so candy, proper? I actually felt like these have been the components of the film the place I teared up when Lindsay Lohan’s character is assembly her different father or mother for the primary time, she’s the opposite twin since you might simply see it, she simply did such a great job. She was similar to, I’m so completely happy to see you. And she or he’s presupposed to have been gone for eight weeks, so the dad and mom don’t actually suspect something. They’re like, in fact, she’s completely happy to be again. She’s been gone for 2 months, however they don’t understand at first that it’s the opposite twin they usually’re truly assembly them for the very first time. Yeah, it’s wild. Anyway, 

Elsie: I did cry numerous occasions. I used to be in a crying temper this time.

Emma: I used to be too. I used to be like on my own simply hanging out. I used to be like, oh, that is so candy. However sure, the winery home is the home I might need. The London home is gorgeous, I might stay in both of these homes, however the winery Home, it’s on a winery, which is simply cool. I don’t know anybody who doesn’t have a dream about being in a winery or proudly owning a winery. And I don’t have a inexperienced thumb, so I couldn’t truly do it, however by some means, it’s nonetheless sort of a fantasy in my thoughts. However there’s this scene the place, Hallie, who’s truly Annie, however Hallie with a twin is strolling by means of and there’s these like huge terracotta tile ground in the lounge. So the lounge is that this tiled ground that’s similar to heat and fairly. And I felt like for the nineties they have been doing this vibe in that home the place it was like presupposed to really feel somewhat bit like Tuscany or one thing, regardless that it’s in California.

Elsie: I feel it’s just like the wine nation aesthetic.

Emma: Yeah, wine nation aesthetic, after which I feel it’s presupposed to really feel somewhat bit trendy like numerous the artwork in his home may be very nineties trendy if that makes any sense. Or like late, late eighties trendy is sort of what it felt like. 

Elsie: Yeah. It’s like minimal is Mr. Cool Man?

They present the surface and it’s this large mansion, however I really feel like they solely present us so many interiors, however I used to be actually into it. I used to be like, I might wanna stay on this home. It appears cozy, however it appears sort of trendy. It appears heat and cozy, however somewhat bit like you possibly can go indoor outside lots. I don’t know, it simply appears.
