Rating: Summary: Surprisingly Enjoyable Review: For a movie based on a mom and daughter switching bodies, this was very entertaining for the whole family. It was enjoyable to see the mother going to high school in her daughter's body, just as it was hilarious to watch the daughter counsel people while in her mother's body.The events that occur and the script provide for many laughs. Of course, you can't expect it all to be realistic, due to the premise, but once over that, it is funny throughout. The mother and daughter both learn their lessons after walking in the other's shoes. this is a good wholesome fun-filled movie that parents, teens and young children can all watch together.
Rating: Summary: overrated and awful Review: In this overrated flick from Disney, Jamie Lee Curtis and Linday Lohan play a mother and daugher who have their personaalities switched after eating Chinese food. The problem is that Anna the daughter is a spoiled brat of a teen and you loathe her instatntly. The mom Trish I think, has real problems and real issues. Anna cares only about herself and her social life and seeing her lighten up her mother's life is horrifying Trish does better as Anna but we dislike Anna already so she has a handicap. There is also an impossably bratty younger brother and a lame attempt at a romantic rivalry for anna's affections. I hope both the stars go on to bigger and better things but this movie will be a dead spot in their careers.
Rating: Summary: Great Disney Movie. Review: This version of "Freaky Friday" is better than the one with Jodie Foster and the one with Shelly Long and it was a marvelous film with comedy that people of all ages could enjoy.The film stars Jamie Lee Curtis as Dr.Tess Coleman an uptight therapist who is trying to deal with her rebel daughter Anna (Lindsay Lohan),her son Harry,and her fiancee Ryan.But when Annas band gets an audition on the same night as Tess's wedding rehearsal the two heat up when a mysterious old woman gives them two fortune cookies which cause the two to switch bodies.The outcome of the switching is quite hilarious with Anna having to go to work and Tess having to go to school.Usually you have Disney comedies which are not funny with jokes like "Why Did The Chicken Cross the Road?" and jokes like that but "Freaky Friday" is thankfully not one of those movies and has jokes that will entertain adults and children,B- for the movie and A- for the acting.

Rating: Summary: ROCK ON DUDES Review: Great family movie, we all loved it.
Rating: Summary: Great Fun Review: This movie is incredible; they way both characters can play each other so convincingly makes it a great movie. The circumstances in which the plot takes place... a wedding and a concert makes it too much more fun. And Jack going crazy for Jaime Lee Curtis was a perfect touch. I give this movie a 2 thumbs up.
Rating: Summary: A remake that does itself justice Review: Remakes are generally given short shrift, but the 2003 version of Freaky Friday stands up well against its predecessor. Fast becoming the go-to girl for Disney remakes, Lindsey Lohan (The Parent Trap remake) tackles what is essentially another double role and shows that she is quite up to the challenge. Jamie Lee Curtis is the surprise, however, as the mother, game to exhibit her wild comedic side to full effect. Modernization is minimal (music, slang) here with the movie retaining much of the original--most dramatic being the change of the father figure to a soon-to-be-stepfather (Mark Harmon), adding to the mother-daughter conflict. Though this is not true for most movies, rest assured that whichever Freaky Friday you choose will deliver total entertainment.
Rating: Summary: it is an realy super coool movie Review: hi evry body freaky friday is realy super cool you must have this movie from lindsay lohan it is coool greetings from the netherlands gerben
Rating: Summary: A Far Cry from the Original!!! Review: I wouldn't put this movie in the same category as the original with Jodie Foster and John Astin, but it had its nice moments, too. This is an updated version, with Jamie Lee Curtis, and it basically has the same story line, although Curtis isn't married in this movie, and she's getting ready to get re-married to a nice guy (Mark Harmon), who wanders into the scene after the "switch" takes place following a visit to a Chinese restaurant. One of the owners sees Curtis and her daughter arguing intensely, and decides to do something about it, and essentially, the trick is that each of them has to see reality from the other person's eyes, and see what each other truly treasures. This is not a novel idea, but it works rather well in this film. I wasn't impressed with Curtis' characterization as she slipped into her teenage daughter's personality and body, and I thought there was a little credibility gap in the way she related to her son. Overall, though, it wasn't a bad film. It could have been a lot better, and if they had asked me, I could have given them some tips. But who's asking, right. I can recommend the film, but if you really liked the original, you might be a little disappointed with this one.
Rating: Summary: Curtis and Lohan make this film a delight Review: The premise of "Freaky Friday" has been done before - a magic spell causes two characters to switch bodies and thus perspectives - but this film is a ton of fun anyway. Psychiatrist Tess (Jamie Lee Curtis) and her teenage daughter Anna (Lindsay Lohan) are constantly at war. Tess is days away from remarrying, and Anna feels the acute pain of having lost her father. Anna has found refuge in her music, but her mother fails to see the importance of it, pulling the plug (literally) on Anna's big break. When a well-meaning Chinese woman ensures that they will be forced to understand each other's lives, the comedy begins full-force. The two wake up trapped in the body (and the daily life) of the other. The script is smart and punchy, with twists that are not as formulaic as the premise might suggest. Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan are hilarious in their interpretations of the generation gap. While I expected such a performance from Curtis, Lohan was a wonderful surprise. Without the chemistry and talent between these two actresses, the film could have been lackluster. The other actors, most notably bland Mark Harmon, cannot sustain the energy Curtis and Lohan create. With animated aplomb, they even manage to overcome a few missteps in the screenplay. This film provides some hearty laughs and, in the tradition of such films, sentimental tears at the end. It's a great film for both adolescents and parents, with jabs at both - and neither will be embarrassed by watching it with the other.
