Freaky Friday
How Freaky Would It Be If You Turned Into Your Mother!
Now experience all the laughs of the original comedy classic that inspired Disney's hilarious hit remake. Trading places was never so funny, and it could only happen on Friday the 13th! that's when the tomboyish and free-spirited Annabel (Jodie Foster) switches bodies with her straitlaced mother, Ellen (Barbara Harris), and suddenly finds herself responsible for running the entire household. In turn Ellen, now in her daughter's body, faces the daunting challenges of school, including a typing test, field hockey competition, and much more!

Original version is hilarious! - Bumblebee
This Disney classic is dear to my heart because I saw it with my mother in the theater when it first came out. My daughter was only familiar with the remake starring Lindsay Lohan. It was a real treat to introduce her to the original, show her Jodie Foster with whom she is familiar as an adult actress, and to see her enjoy herself laughing it up just as I had done so many years before! It is dated in the 'male/female' roles and antiquated stereotypes nonetheless the humour and acting are wonderfully entertaining!freaky - anonymos
I grew up with this movie. I think I saw it for the first time on the wonderful world of Disney. Either that or Mom got it for me at the library & even she likes it.
Jodi foster is both brilliant & lovable! She's believable and as the child her issues where at least believable & somebody I could sypathise with. As an adult in a childs body well hillarious! By the way Ben or Ape Face really showed talent. What happened to that kid? He was cute & delivered a preformance of giant perportion that added dynamic to both mother and daughter. Plus that ball game scene & his love & envy of his big sister. The kid had a real talent for delivering dialog, yet also proved though he first apears a little geek that he had a real little boys spirit.
The jokes where clean & in good taste. Yet timeless & funny. Nothing beats a great chase scene & that car chase was both exciting and funny.
I seached long & hard for a copy of the vhs but it'd been vaulted. just when I bought it used My VCR broke & I got a DVD player for my birthday. A week later the DVD came out. Purchase of that DVD is one of the first things I'll do with my next paycheck. It will be money well spent on a classic disney movie I could watch again & again.switching roles has never been this funny! - movie_goer
Forget the modern Movie. This is worth the watch 10x the laughter and more fun. This is Jodie Foster when she was just a klutsy kid who we can all relate to. when her mother just doesn't get her they switch roles. Turns out they both got it hard. Comedy coming out from every corner this is an enjoyable movie to watch with the family or when your feeling a tade down. It brings the spirit back up! Worth the watch!
