@Stella de Jong wait whooo??? I stopped watching after Nat Kelley left the show because honestly she was the reason I watched (coming from tvd) her developing dynamic with Fallon is top notch then they killed her off 😔😔😔
Geez the amount of people in the comments are aspiring to be Meredith is so unbelievable. You guys also want to marry an old guy just for his money and treat his kids badly? No wonder why our generation is seen as somewhat doomed.
I grew up hating this character...but now I'm a single 34 year old woman just hoping to marry a rich divorcee and I would not take any crap from his bratty kids.
@@sallysmith8408 Yeah...she's the villain from a child's perspective. The true villains of this movie were the parents who separated their TWIN daughters for no fricking reason and hid their existence from each other.
I just love the actress who played the Villain, "Vicky" in the original "Parent Trap". She's playing Meridith's mom in this newer version. Her infamous line was "Hello Pet."
She was great at this character. She didn’t fit with the dad at all though. He was just too different from her. As a villainess she should have gotten herself a badass villain. Or reigned supreme on her own.
Of course she didn’t~ she’s a younger woman that’s decent looking~ when someone just wants a human to end their life with someone, they’ll sometimes take anyone that looks good and is decent at night~
@ meg5250 The actress did a good job playing her. But yeah, the dad made a bad choice dating her. He was too naive and fell in love too quickly. Good thing he wised up at the end and chose his daughters over this villain.
So you're saying when you were a kid, you thought the character was a classy 26-year old despite the villainess things she did and once you were 26 thought that no 26 year old would be classy?
@@paelie She had that Cruella DeVille swag dude like you have to give credit where it's due. At the same time, and I can't stand being so pathetic, but a character the same age as me looking so put together is intimidating.
@@heyhey439 I agree! Just didn't really get what you meant, but I see now. Same, her motivations are not good, but she had her own style and confidence and used what she had by choice.
She nailed this and Evian of Superstar. She honestly seemed even more evil in Superstar. Ironic how her name is Evian in that movie and she needs an Evian bottle in this movie lol!
@@justajakefanboy5409 Of course I’m bitter. The world is a cold and cruel place. When you’re a kid, you want to grow up. When you’re an adult, you want to become a kid again.
It's crazy that this movie was set in the same universe as the original 'Parent Trap' Meredith's mother 'Vicky' just proves it right, she was the villain in the original movie and her name just so happened to be 'Vicky'
@@minnabillera she didn’t do that, besides lets not act like the father was with her for her great personality and common interests, he was with her for her looks and she was with him for his money
@@pabloaulestia6310 exactly.... I hate it when people shammed a person for marrying rich when its so obvious the other party only pick them for their appearance too ..... No one is better than the other they both just use each other to satisfy themselves
there's nothing iconic about asking a man to choose between you and his kids, 99% it's gonna be the kids and even if he chooses you over his kids, he's a real shit dad who you better not end up marrying.
It’s one thing if the kids haven’t done anything to the new person their dad is dating, but after getting harassed on the camping trip and the hotel shenanigans they played Meredith had a point bringing up their relationship with him, because it was clear the girls were never going to respect it
@@LP-ct9nk tough. Being a parent comes first. If they were adults fare enough. But they are 11. And they are protecting their dad. She doesn't love him.
@@louwinters508 Idk which adults you disrespect constantly, but the dad didn't need the twins "protecting" lol. They were just brats who wanted their bio mom back in the picture, and antagonized the new lady to her breaking point. They would've acted the same to whoever the dad dated whether they loved him or not, because that's the whole point of the movie
The parent are the real antagonists. They separated the twin without telling them, Meredith literally just a basic sugar baby wanting to marry a rich old creep that loves young chicks, she only turned mean when the twin come along and try to hurt her and ruin her plan!
She literally thought she could make a father choose a daughter over lust? Remember Nick is rich he can replace you, he can't easily replace a daughter's love.
@@moothedenceline4405, if people are divorced and they have twins, it’d be harder to decide who gets custody over them. Or, court gave them both a kid and told them to go their separate ways considering they both didn’t do anything wrong, and just thought they should see different people.
@@youllneverknowgorg it wasn't a court decision, it was selfish parenting The importance is not for the parents, who gives a crap about the parents, they should've been considerate and sensible and not separated twins In real life, not fiction like this movie, one gets custody of both or both get joint custody ... that's what shoukdve happened That being said, despite the parents being absolute nutjobs, i still love the movie
Millennials coming back to watch Meredith be iconic, after the realization that we had it all wrong: Meredith wasn't the villain, but instead the Parents were, for seprating the sisters. and then the twins were for scheming. Yup. Nailed it. I also would have shipped them to switzerland.
Wtf, the parents where clearly wrong for separating them, but Meredith was still clearly the villan, a gold digger biatch who only cared for herself and was the first to threathened two eleven year olds who were clearly protecting their dad
No, Meredith was a cunning, crass & ONLY iconic in commentary or mere reflection of the film in the present, as a millennial. To add to that, being an awful parent or worse a step-parent is vile + villian-like behavior especially toward kids - not something that should be championed to want to dismiss children that aren't yours
@@tezbah8446 LOL. Thanks for the comment. As noted to the other comment, I was being facetious. we all know Meredith is actually the villain - she was batshit. Cheers mate!
I saw this movie when it came out and I was 8. To this day I still absolutely love and hate her forever for this role. And that’s how you know she did her job! She was iconic!
@@allie7574 Agreed. I think that first actress was Nicolette Sheridan. Never understood her appeal. She's far too wooden and one dimensional as far as character acting goes (even way back on Desperate Housewives). Elaine Hendrix (Meredith) is such a vibrant personality, she can't help but stand out ❤.
Incredible casting. Incredible wardrobe (give me the name of her stylist and the brands she wears PLEASE). Incredible music. Meredith was iconic then, now, and forever.
The jazz music that plays in the background everytime she's on screen gets me
LOL TRUE
😂💀💀💀💀💀
It really sets the mood about her role in the film lmao.
right
Do you know the name of the jazz?
Meredith and cruella deville would have made a good team.
Facts
That’s for sure
I need an alternate universe where she goes to England to get Cruella to make another dress for her but together they end up trying to inherit all the money from a douchey lord.
Omg she woulda been an amazing Cruella for the live action
Omg yes why didn’t they make the Cruella starring her?? And she just acts like Meredith the whole time?!
Absolutely PERFECT casting for the part. Incredible acting.

She’s almost as good as Alexis carington

IKR she is such a good actress
@@kumottakun6089 she portrayed Alexis from season 3 onwards

Yeah because she was iconic the whole time she was on screen 😂
Actually she's a nature freak in real life so not really she's just a great actress :)

Being young and beautiful is not a crime, you know...?

@@prowlandsasuke yes and being a good digger
Aha

I went to high school with many {outwardly} beautiful girls. Believe me, it's a crime.
One of the most entertaining villains Disney ever wrote. 😂😂😂

That’s one thing they can’t do anymore except for King Magnifico
She really did bring a lot to the movie. Humor and villancy
The more I grow older, the more I understand Meredith. I stan.
LOVE the Meredith Character!!
I’m 27 and I still don’t understand her. But I can understand the parents to a degree.
I love her. I aspire to be her 🥴

Her name is Vicky too so I bet she is Vicky from The Original and Meredith is doing the same thing like her mom did, like mother like daughter

She nailed this and Evian of Superstar. She honestly seemed even more evil in Superstar. Ironic how her name is Evian in that movie and she needs an Evian bottle in this movie lol!
She was too beautiful
100 likes! You’re welcome!!
I didn’t even recognize her in Inspector Gadget 2
She also took over the role of Alexis Carrington in the "Dynasty" remake.
I always loved her fashion sense💗 She’s so iconic
I love that white dress she's wearing when Hallie splashes her in the pool, and I still want her hiking outfit 😍
The only sense she has, to be honest xx
Ugh I hate when the protagonist of a movie doesn't get a happy ending :(

1:53 that scream 🤣 you can see Lindsey Lohan jump, I wonder if it was not originally scripted, she looked genuinely surprised and amused by it
This movie did a perfect job at really making it look like Lindsay Lohan has a twin sister.
I literally thought they were twin actresses until like mean girls LOL
THE SCENE WHEN SHE IS BANGING THE STICKS TOGETHER ALWAYS GETS ME 😭😂
“There aren’t any mountain lions up here are there”? Lol her body language and face asking this is hilarious!
There was a girl in my middle school who looked like she could be Meredith's daughter. Clearly, I was afraid of her.
She's so beautiful.
Like really really beautiful.
But she was evil.
Too bad she's E-V-I-L.
A pretty face don't make no pretty heart.
No, the hair chested daddy is beautiful
She’s Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve and Talent, Meredith Blake, you are the winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race season 16
I appreciate that she has no time to bullshit a kid.
Feels weird to finally be able to relate to her.
Evil much?
How lol? Unless you're a gold digging monster who would rejoice from tormenting some kids who did nothing
@@a.g.m9078 Who wouldn't wanna marry a rich Daddy?
Also, kids are annoying.
You've grown to be bitter and evil. Wouldn't want to be you.

So you’re goal is being a gold digger who hates his kids?
@@HeyMyLifeIsLibbyfor sure, I love the whole idea and vibe of camping, but in reality I just want the cute hiking outfit.

Am I the only one who's happy that people still remember this movie even 23 years later? I love this movie as a child, and still love it now.😍
im pretty sure its like 25
I’ve grown to love it even more as a young adult
I like her confidence and wardrobe, she is such an iconic villain
It's crazy that this movie was set in the same universe as the original 'Parent Trap'
Meredith's mother 'Vicky' just proves it right, she was the villain in the original movie and her name just so happened to be 'Vicky'
And now Vicky's daughter Meredith is following mommy's footsteps
So surreal
I LOVE how bored Annie looks when Meredith’s all up in her face at 1:10
"Who are you? Robert De Niro? Yes I'm talking to you."
Never understood that line when I was a wee lad watching this movie. 🤣
She was referencing a movie where Robert says that to himself in the mirror
I can relate
GAG SHE WAS SUCH AN ICON THIS FILM IS JUST SO GOOD
Considering this was a Disney film, I can understand why Meredith would be portrayed as villainous as she can be…
I hated her as a kid but now I want to be her
You want to be a golddigger?? I mean I won't support you but if you're successful I'll respect you... Just be classy and sassy...
umm.. you want to scam people for their money???? you wanna be a gold digger????

90s movies were always so slick and stylish. I absolutely love that shot of her hat rising as her face is slowly revealed.
I’m proud to be a 90’s baby myself. And this is why
When I was a kid, I didn’t understand the appeal of the chest hair. Now that I’m a big ol’ gay, I totally get it. 🔥
can you elaborate???
Nothing is better than chest hair on a mature hunk.
Let me tell you I have tried lord have I tried but it just doesn't appeal to me. Different strokes for different folks I guess.
@@riverhigurashi8058 beacuse now is trending effeminate guys with 0 hairs on their body, alot of makeup and nail polish, i would never get it

They separated the twin without telling them, Meredith literally just a basic sugar baby wanting to marry a rich old creep that loves young chicks, she only turned mean when the twin come along and try to hurt her and ruin her plan!
First Timbuktu, then Switzerland… Make up your mind, Meredith!
Switzerland was obviously an Easter Egg to the 60’s movie
Now that I'm grown at 27, I just love her style😍
I love seeing her in Dynasty now!
If Cruella and Marilyn Monroe had a daughter
She literally thought she could make a father choose a daughter over lust?
Remember Nick is rich he can replace you, he can't easily replace a daughter's love.
BEST. FILM. EVER.
SHES PERFECT AND SO PRETTY OML
OMG this is why Alexis in Dynasty looked so familiar to me!!
2:34 she calls the lil girls as angels with *angelic faces*
"Stress, baby..." always gets me😂
so that one scene with this woman is the reason Lohan needed theraphy.
My friends and I always imitate the funny scenes from her! She’s so iconic! 🤣

God she's so gorgeous
Merdith's actress is absoulutly perfect love her
The duality of having had a stepmother like this and still thinking Meredith is FIRE
To be honest, idk why she only wanted him for his money. Talk about a DILF.
The part where she says "i adore your father", i think i know what she means after the chest hair scene...
I was 6 when I first watched this movie in 2001. Can’t believe I’m the same age as her character now.

One of my favorite Disney movies of all time! The comedy genre needs villains like Meredith again.
I ALWAYS ENJOYED IT WITH MY FAMILY!!!❤❤❤❤
His response was the best.
her character is so much like Amber Heard... the same villain.
The difference is, one is iconic, and one isn't.
She slayed this part and then some.
I think Meridith and Debbie from the Addams Family would be an iconic duo. Both basically play the same characters!
Debbie is basically Meredith…but more unhinged and a psychopath on that regard
Lisa Luder, I love your work!
