The Parent Trap (1998)
Question: How old are Nick and Elizabeth? Hallie says that Nick's fiancee, Meredith, is young enough to be her sister. This would imply that Nick is at least sixteen years past Meredith's age, twenty-six. That would make him forty-two, so he was thirty or thirty-one at the time the girls were born. However, Meredith left Nick because they were "so young" and didn't get along. The early thirties years are not usually considered young ages for getting married and having children.
Answer: The marriage certificate at the very beginning of the film says he was 24 (in Jan 1986). Thus, in the summer of 1998 he would be about 36/37 (depending on when his birthday is), and so is about 10 years older than Meredith. An 11-year old would probably view this age difference as greater than adults would.
Answer: It depends on your point-of-view. Youngsters often consider people in their 30s as being "old" while more mature adults over the age of 40, would consider someone in their early to mid thirties as still being very young. Everyone matures at a different rate, and some people in their early 30s still think and act like they're much younger.

Question: What was the point of having all the girls at the camp march to the isolation cabin with Hallie and Annie?
Answer: To produce pressure by letting the girls be the reason everyone else had to go on that long, exhausting hike. The other girls being allowed to go back to their usual activities was a reward. There are also collateral effects of the other girls seeing Hallie and Annie punished. Even if they weren't humiliated as punishment, the other girls would be made to know their fate.

Answer: Not thicker, just styled differently. One twin is more tomboyish with less concern about hair, fashion, makeup etc. The other twin has been raised to be more refined and fashionable, with her hair moussed, styled, and blown dry, making it fluffier, not thicker.
