The balm

Feeling under the weather. But The Parent Trap is airing on ABC Family and that's a bit of a salve. What is it about that darned movie that I can't turn it off?

Well, there's the obvious -- Dennis Quaid is smashing in it. And it's a chance to see the pre-Page Six version of Lindsay Lohan, who does a heckuva job playing twins.

But OK, it's really about the fact that it plays perfectly to my sappy side. It's an amusing story. It has a sweet resolution. The ending not only wraps up quite nicely, but it's like it has a pretty pink bow on top.

And who doesn't like a nicely wrapped gift?
