Summary: Fine Disney Fun!
Review: This movie has always been my favorite non-animated Disney movie ever since I was a little kid. As I grew up, I grew up, I came to like it more and more each time I saw it. I think that every teenager thinks that their parents have an easy life. Likewise for most parents who sometimes don't remember what it's like to be a teenager. The basic plotline is that Annabel Andrews and her mother Ellen have an argument and, by some strange coincidence, wish "I wish I could be her for just one day". BANG! They automatically switch minds. They both find that they would rather be in their own shoes than each other's. I think that this movie deserves to be released on DVD. I highly recommend this version over the remade 1995 version with Shelley Long (of "Cheers" fame). If you had to pick one version to buy, this one--from 1976--is the better choice. There are some scenes which would make you laugh out loud and hard (like the scene in the car where they switch back and all of a sudden Annabel herself is driving (and she's only 13!) or the scene where "Annabel"--remember, her body has her mother's mind in it, and she really doesn't have a clue about most things that go on in Annabel's life--is taking a typing test and accidently destroys the all the typewriters in the room!). As I said, this version is the better one. I highly recommend that even if you haven't seen it, you should buy or rent it. I guarantee you'll be glad you did. I always feel much better about myself each time I watch it.

Summary: Awesome!
Review: This movie is the best! I'd give it more than 5 stars if I could. The basic plot is that its Friday the 13th, and Annabelle, 13, and her mother aren't getting along. Annebelle leaves for school. Annabelle is complaining to her friends about her mom, and her mom is complaining to her husband about Annabelle. At the same time, they say "I wish I could be her." Then, they switch. Annabelle's body has got her mom's mind in it, and her mom's body has got Annabelle's mind in it. Its a very good movie. Personally, I like it better than the remakes!Buy it today. Believe me, you'll enjoy it!

Summary: SILENCE, CURSE YOUR SOUL! I'M SLEEPING!
Review: This movie made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, like someone shoved a wool blanket into my stomach. If you loved Jodie Foster in 'Silence Of The Lambs', you'll love 'Freaky Friday'. Now, first off, I don't like 'Freaky'. Once someone gave me a 'freaky' present for Christmas, and do you know what was inside the box when I unwrapped it? A DEAD RAT! No one needs 'freaky' in their lives... that is, unless it's a 'Freaky Friday'. And who doesn't like 'Fridays'? 'Me' that's who. If I had it my way, I'd do away with the whole cursed weekend. I met my wife on a weekend. I love her so. Unfortunately she has left me for another. The tears well up in my eyes as I write this. Never let anyone ever tell you Albino women make good lovers. I'll never love again. However, I can watch movies! Buy 'Freaky Friday' TODAY, or I will put a curse on you that will make your eyelids get stuck inside of your head!

Summary: great "Thinker Movie" for young children.
Review: This movie opened up my 6 1/2 year old sons imagination. He initiated conversations with me where we talked about simple ideas of interdeminsional travel and and the concept of the self. I thought it would be a funy movie to watch. Watching someone try to figure out how to cope with being their parrent for a day was entertaining.I realy was surprised at how it made him think though! Good story line. Fast moving plot. 70's Disney quality(?) and filled with silly things for the young ones to laugh at. And Jodi Foster is in it!

Summary: The best film ever-no honest!
Review: This was my favourite film when i was growing up and remains my favourite today a whole quarter of a centuary later! All i can say is if this films is available then buy it. Excellent performances from all the cast, wonderful story and everything that you'd excpect from Disney. I have a copy of this on PAL + NTSC just in case anything happens to one of them. This film should never be out of print!!!

Summary: T.G.I. Friday!
Review: What would you do if you were in your mother's shoes? Spunky teenager Annabel Andrews would want her own shoes back. On Friday the 13th Annabel found herself switching places with her uptight mother, Ellen. Suddenly she was responsible for preparing a large dinner, take care of house renovations and driving her brother 'Apeface' around. Meanwhile, Ellen has to drudge through a high school game of field hockey, eat food only Annabel could enjoy and perform in the big water-skiing extravaganza. Both of them are not too happy to have switched but the event sure makes them understand each other. For the nations Bicentennial, the folks at Disney put out this high concept film and it was reason enough for fireworks. The film has much in common with earlier Disney offerings like THE PARENT TRAP, but it conversely lacked the studio alignment of those early classics. The film has a movie-of-the-week look that a film getting more attention would not have. But not to worry, for the two main performers are the real pros here. A young Jodie Foster is excellent as the tomboy and also as the mother misplaced in the tomboy's body. Likewise Barbara Harris is excellent as the uptight mother and the tomboy trapped in the mother's body. This early 'Face-Off' film has a couple good twists up its sleeve and a funny supporting cast. It has a strong following and deserves a nice DVD release, possibly a new entry in the wonderful Vault Collection? So what would you do if you were in your mother's shoes?
