Summary: Changing Bodies (with Your Daughter): Delightful Family Pic
Review: This is the remake of the 1977 original starring one child star Jodie Foster. Anyone who said remakes stink should reconsider his idea, for the newer "Freaky Friday" is one of the delightful family pictures Disney gave us in this decade.The body-switching story is simple enough. Tess Coleman (Jamie Lee Curtis) is an upright and principled psychatrist (and widow) who is busy preparing for the coming marriage, and her daughter Anna (Lindsay Lohan) is a high school student who wants to have a date with a boy, play rock music; in short, she needs a little bit more freedom. Then, at a Chinese restaurant, they embarrasingly argue in front of the mother's love Ryan (Mark Harmon). And then, the owner of the place offers a pair of fortune cookie, which, believe it or mot, have a magical power to change the roles of mother and daughter. Tess is in Anna's body, and Anna in Tess's. We know where "Freaky Friday" will lead you eventually, so let's wait for the film to be better and funnier as it goes on. The first 20 minutes may look too banal, following the storyline of typical family pictures (a kid in detention class, mother worrying about her, and so on ...), but that is exactly the point. After their bodies are switched, the things get wild, crazy, and funny ... probably more funnier than you expect. That is all because of the two great leading ladies -- Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan (the latter played the double roles in "The Parent Trap," another good remake). The way Lee Curtis changes the make-up (in the punk fashion, of course) and takes over the TV show with comic talk is one of the many highlights of the film. With her, Lohan always gives an amusing contrast as a rebellous daughter, then a dutiful one. (The only reason I do not give five stars is Chinese restaurant setting which looks trite to me -- and I didn't want to see Rosalind Chao in this way -- and its slightly weaker supporting actors). And most of all, what is great about the film is that Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan are not only great talents but also they are having fun doing what they can do. And this fun is very contagious -- the kind of fun we can all share.

Summary: Five star remake
Review: I saw this with my mom when it came out and loved it. Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis are both so perfect at playing dual roles, first as themselves and then as each other. Jamie is hysterical as a teenage girl, and Lindsay's performance was very cool. The end made me cry! I get so sentimental:) There are lots of funny parts and the music is great, for a fake movie band Pink Slip rocks! Wish I could play guitar like that! Chad Michael Murray, from the Wb's great show One Tree Hill, is the hottie love interest. Mark Harmon does a very nice job as the soon to be stepdad, he's pretty endearing and makes you want to like him. I became a Lindsay Lohan fan after this movie, and I've always liked Jamie Lee Curtis, she was really the standout here. The extra's are good, especially Backstage with Lindsay but the deleted scenes don't amount to much. The bloopers are kinda funny.

Summary: Old School Entertainment
Review: After my reluctance wore off, I finally watched this film. I was surprised to find a mildly entertaining return to old parent/child bickering films that I enjoyed during the 80s. Freaky Friday explores the world of teen angst and the stress-filled responsibilities of adulthood equally and effectively places one inside the other. Like an intrusion, teenage Anna and working-mother Tess find themselves magically transferred within one another's body after cracking open two fortune cookies at a Chinese restautant. The rest is history. The two learn about one another's hectic lives and adapt just long enough to find a way to return to their own bodies and lives. It is also long enough for the two of them to develop an understanding of one another that was much needed long ago. As I said, this film is a satisfying return to a lost genre. I remember the 80s and the genre of films that captured both a young generation and an older generation, reflecting effectively the gap between the two. Freaky Friday returns to that concept successfully and manages to entertain both generations.

Summary: Amazing performances from both Curtis and Lohan!
Review: This was one of the best films I saw in 2003. The performances from Curtis and Lohan were outstanding. I really enjoyed it and I can't wait to buy it on DVD! It was a great movie for all the family. I really like teen movies so this was one for me. I encourage anyone who has not yet seen it to do so straight away! You won't be dissapointed!

Summary: Lindsay Lohan delivers everytime, every movie!
Review: This is an excellent (make that very excellent) remake of an old movie. I sometimes wonder if Lindsay Lohan realizes what a versatile and talented actress she is; she has yet to make a bad movie. Freaky Friday is no exception to that rule. Now, add Jamie Lee Curtis, and you have entertainment, ten-fold. The two work really well on screen together, and of course the movie's message is one that never ages; kids think parents have it made, and parents think kids have it made. This movie, as the old one, demonstrate that neither child nor parent have it made. The acting is good. The storyline moves along well. The supporting actors perform well. The music is good. The DVD contains some nice extras: bloopers, deleted scenes, music videos, and alternate ending. This is a DVD worth the money! Buy it, and watch it over and over with the family! See ya next review!

Summary: Not a chick flick, Great for anybody.
Review: Filled with disfunctional family humor, and great heartfelt acting, Freaky Fiday was one of my favorite suprises of the year. Jamie Lee Curtis never gets old, and Lindsay Lohan finally comes back from her hiatus as a rebel teenager and not used to the squeaky clean good girl we saw in "The Parent Trap" The film was non stop funny and a good film to watch for a feel good time. One of Disney's best of the year, Freaky Friday is a film for anyone. I highly recommend this film.
