Meyers’ directorial debut was a remake of the 1961 film of the same name starring Hayley Mills. Natasha Richardson, who played Elizabeth James, tragically died in March 2009 after a skiing accident.

The film follows Annie and Hallie, twins separated at birth after their parents’ divorce. They meet coincidentally at a summer camp, discover their connection and plot to switch places with each other when they go back home.
