* AdaptationInducedPlotHole: Making one of the twins British throws a huge wrench into the main plot. American summer holidays usually last between two and a half and three months. British students, on the other hand, don't get theirs until July, and only for six weeks. So unless Annie is home-schooled with a very lenient tutor, it's unlikely she'd even be able to go to Camp Walden in the first place (it's mentioned that the girls were at camp for eight weeks). In the original both twins were Americans, so it was no big deal.

* {{Unishment}}: Annie and Hallie being banished to the isolation cabin ends up being this, as it provides the opportunity for them to work out the truth about their being twis and also to bond with each other and plot their switch. It also ends up being fortunate that no one can hear when they scream their heads off during the ear-piercing scene.

** Both twins have a talent for imaginative pranks, which they use on each other with the result of getting themselves in big trouble...and then turn to the righteous cause of driving Meredith completely 'round the twist and breaking up her engagement with their dad.
