Freaky Friday
In the tradition of The Princess Diaries, Disney's Freaky Friday is the extremely funny and heartwarming comedy everyone will love. Dr. Tess Coleman (the hilarious Jamie Lee Curtis) and her teenage daughter Anna (rockin' Lindsay Lohan) have one thing in common - they don't relate to each other on anything. Not clothes or men or Anna's passion to be in a rock band. Nothing. Then one night a little mystic mayhem changes their lives and they wake up to the biggest freak-out ever. Tess and Anna are trapped inside each other's body! But Tess's wedding is Saturday, and the two must find a way to switch back - fast! Literally forced to walk in each other's shoes, will they gain respect and understanding for the other's point of view? Filled with comedy, rock 'n' roll and lots of heart, Freaky Friday is freaking fun every one can enjoy together.

A remake worth watching . . . - Filmaholic
Usually remakes pale when compared to the original film. Not so with this film. It is well done and Jamie Lee Curtis does a great job of acting like a teen.
The soundtrack is modern and this is a film that will truly appeal to a diverse age group. It remains true to the original film while making it fit more aptly into our time.
Well worth watching.Surprisingly fun - pbandj
This was a fun rental... better than expected. Would make a good double feature with Mean Girls. Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis have a cute comic chemistry. Jamie Lee is actually a clever comedic actress. Somehow the oddball premise works and a good time is had by all.Freaky Friday - anonymos
While I certainly agree that there is alot of talent involved on both parts I must say nothing beats a classic. I admit I didn't watch the whole thing. This is because I found the Charictors wholly unappealing. Anna Acted like a spoiled self centered brat! I really couldn't sympathise with her at all. In some ways I am & some ways not a very advantaged child. I was always given what I needed & a fair amount of what I wanted. If I wanted more I had to earn it. She expected everything to be just handed to her, get real kid!
I grew up with and loved the old Jodi foster movie the jokes where clean yet hillarious. The comedy timeless & most of all you could really sympathise with the charictors & love them. I love a good disney movie but I think that this was one where they should have left well enough alone & concintrated Lindsy Lohans abundant talent on an original piece.
