Summary: crappiest of the crap
Review: this movie really sucked. It was so bad, that it actually slowed down time to make viewing it all the more painfull. it is your typical disney movie, with all their little crappy disney one liners and thier stupid disney lesson to be learned at the end. Add in a horrible band of one of the main characters and you have grade A crap.

Summary: Coooool! It's a guy movie, too...
Review: My parents actually saw this film before I did. Seeing as how we never go to the movies, pay-per-view has become a luxury. When they saw this, they were psyched! I was skeptical, of course. The ole' switcheroo? Again? How many "body-swapping" movies are they gonna make, anyway? For quite some time, I fought my way out of not seeing this film...BIG MISTAKE!!! I was stunned at actually how original this film was! Disney has, of late, run out of original films. I've become quite bored with it, really. But this film was tight! It was nothing like the original film. Not even a real re-make, I would say. There were so many surprises, it exhausted me, but I watched again a few hours later. The climax is cool, probably the best part of the movie. That's the way it should be. I also enjoyed the depth brought to the Chinese characters who initiate the switching spell. They're not just walk-ons. Now, enough of this blabbering. I could write about this film all day, but I'm gonna get down to business.PLOT: A widowed businesswoman and her distant punk/rocker daughter switch places after a Chinese spell is placed on them in the middle of a restaurant. In order to return to their own bodies, they must truly learn selfless love, and how to be a rock star (you'll understand when you see it). PROS: Funny, smart, romantic, musically oriented, great actors (Jamie Curtis is hilarious) CONS: There are cons?

Summary: Great Family Fun!
Review: Wonderful updated remake of the Disney classic- I loved the cast and story of this fun fantasy flick. The return of the Disney live action film has been a joy- and needed since their recent animation outings have not been nearly as interesting ( PIXAR films ie Nemo/Toy Story are excluded from this group) This disk itself is an improvement over other recent Disney disks- are they getting their quality issues taken care of? No sticking on first viewing. I have found consistent quality issues with recent Disney DVD purchases- was happy this one was in good shape from first viewing.

Summary: Great Movie for the family!
Review: We saw this in the theater and own the DVD. We loved the movie and so did our 8 and 5 year old daughters. The interplay between Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan is fantastic. The movie is often comedic and over the top, but ultimately pulls at the heartstrings. The identity switching gimmick isn't original of course, but it gives a great glimpse of how a little change in perspective helps us understand each other. Now my 8-year-old is an aspiring rock guitarist!

Summary: "I can't marry Ryan, ewwwww."
Review: Who knew that there was still some life left in the "body-switch" film? Mark S. Waters' modern-day remake of "Freaky Friday" has got to be one of the more pleasant surprises of recent memory as it turns out to be filled with more fun and wit than anyone would have expected. It is proof positive that what worked before can work again if done with the proper amount of care and creativity. Psychiatrist Tess Coleman (Jamie Lee Curtis) has her hands full preparing for her upcoming wedding. Not making matters easier for Tess is her rebellious daughter Anna (Lindsay Lohan) who is having difficulties at school and is not too excited at the prospect of having a new father in her life. After the two of them get into a fight at a Chinese Restaurant, they are each given a fortune cookie by an elderly Chinese woman (Lucille Soong). Mother and daughter both read their fortune and express amusement, but the joke is on them as they wake up the next morning and find themselves in the other's body. "Freaky Friday" works because its two central performances are so strong. Curtis hits all the right notes in a great comedic turn and Lohan sparkles in a winning performance that is reminiscent of her previous solid work in "The Parent Trap" (1998). Lohan proves to be the most charming young actress working today as she energizes every scene she appears in by radiating a natural charm that is wonderfully endearing. Both actresses are supported by a clever script and quality work from actors Ryan Malgarini, Mark Harmon, Harold Gould, and Chad Murray. The only problems with the film are its weak soundtrack and the unflattering stereotypical portrayals of the Chinese women. Yet, Curtis and Lohan are so good that they help to elevate "Freaky Friday" above its shortcomings. Those magical, unsolicited fortune cookies sure are good for a lot of fun moments when given to the right people.

Good kids/teen family PG Movie Summary:
Playful script, good rock 'n' roll music, pleasant and funny movie. Good acting by Lindsay Lohan (the "Parent Trap" twins!), and, of course, Jamie Lee Curtis, and surprisingly nice job by Mark Harmon - he really fit the older adopting dad part! Both Lindsay and Jamie really make great character switches to pull this off. I expected that from Lindsay since she did such a great job in parent trap; but Jamie really pulled off the idiosyncracies of being a teenager with the right mannerisms, attitude and terminology! Story:
Anna (Lindsay Lohan) and mother/widow Dr. Tess Coleman (Jamie Lee Curtis) do not relate at all - ironically since Dr. Coleman is a famous psychiatrist who write books on the subject! A Chinese Fortune Cookie Curse causes them to exchange bodies just before Tess' wedding, leading each other to better understand the daily trials of each others lives. Walking in each others shoes, Mom finds out that Anna is not just paranoid, but her teacher and ex-best friend are really out to get her; and Anna discovers that Mom's perfect world is not so perfect, and in fact can be a bit scary. She also learns that maybe everyone in the family is not out to get her like she thought. Both run a full circle and grow closer through their ordeal.

Summary: Good, But Some Things Could Be Taken Out For Little Kids
Review: I think that Freaky Friday was a pretty good movie, except for some parts that they could have left out. You know, the stuff that "supposably" makes the movie "funny", but doesn't. Some things aren't good for kids under the age of 9 or so, which stands to reason that it's rated PG. If you have kids older than 9, this is a good movie. It is about a girl and a mother switching bodys. It is pretty funny, and you will probably enjoy it! Go for it! I hope this review was helpful!

Summary: Walking in someone else's shoes
Review: Disney Studios have created an entertaining film with "Freaky Friday". The concept of a mother and daughter changing bodies is fertile ground for all sorts of amusing situations and Jamie Lee Curtis hits all the right notes as the mother. The beginning of the movie sets the stage as mother and daughter seems to disagree on clothes, curfews, boyfriends, and just about any other subject which comes up. Curtis is a psychotherapist and when she tries her techniques on her daughter, it just makes the daughter angrier. Curtis is a widow and her upcoming marriage is another source of annoyance to her daughter. When mother and daughter are forced into situations which are totally out of their comfort zone (a rock concert for mom and a t.v. interview for the daughter) the movie becomes very funny. This movie is good for a lot of laughs.
