Jamie Lee Curtis Movie:

Editorial Review:
In the wonderfully entertaining Freaky Friday, teenager Anna (Lindsay Lohan) and her forty-something psychiatrist mom Tess (Jamie Lee Curtis) have sunk into a rut of frustrated bickering--until a magic spell causes them to switch bodies. Suddenly Tess finds herself faced with petty teachers, vicious rivals, and a hunky boy, while Anna has to cope with her mother's neurotic patients as well as her befuddled fiance (Mark Harmon), who doesn't understand why his bride-to-be is suddenly recoiling from his embrace on the eve of their wedding. Both Lohan and Curtis turn in deft, delightful performances, with Curtis showing a surprising flair for physical comedy. The movie even manages to explore serious issues about fractured families, new parents, and adolescent sexuality with honesty and empathy--and without making the story stop dead in its tracks. It's a mother-daughter film that fathers and sons can enjoy just as much. --Bret Fetzer

Freaky Friday [Region 2] Reviews:
AS GOOD AS I THOUGHT!
2008-10-22 - I waited for a long time for it's DVD's release and then i finally i saw it yesterday. And the movie is as good as i thought. I haven't seen the old FREAKY FRIDAY so i don't know how much the movies are alike except for the name. But i must say that the movie contains some shadows of "THE HOT CHICK". This movie covers two main characters Tess (Curtis) and Annabel (Lindsay Lohan). Who are always arguing with each other, simultaneously wish they could be someone else, they somehow exchange bodies, as they both learn what it's like to be in the other person's situation. As far as the acting concern Curtis and Lohan both did very well and it is very hard to judge who is better among the both. It is a family movie. I recommended it for all ages who love to watch fun.

An Awesome Remake!!!
2008-08-27 - To me, Disney's 2003 version of Freaky Friday is a lot better than the original. I don't hate the original, I just think this one is a lot funnier and more up-to-date! Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan were hilarious trying to be the opposite of each other. After having a big fight with each other on Thursday, Anna (Lohan) and Tess (Curtis) switch bodies on Friday morning, and throughout the entire day, you see hilarious moments as Tess acts like a rebelious teenager and Anna acts more mature. Tess is supposed to be married on Saturday, and if they don't switch back, they'll have to post-pone it. It's also awesome to see Jamie Lee jammin' down at the concert later toward the end of the movie! If you love comedy, you'll love FREAKY FRIDAY!!!


p.s. Back in 2003, a cousin and friend of mine helped me make a movie that spoofed this movie and Freddy Vs. Jason. It's Crazy!

Freaky Friday
2008-07-16 - This is a good story for the pre-teen or teenager to understand what a Mom goes through trying to do the best job possible of being a parent.

Freaky Friday
2008-03-29 - In this case, the remake is somewhat of an improvement on the original. I have been a Disney fan for more than 60 years. As an old timer, I tend to prefer the classics. However, this particular movie has a better story line and much better acting.

Jamie Lee Curtis does a great job as usual; and Lindsay Lohan is far better in this role than any of her other efforts to this point. I was pleased to see than the original, slapstick father has been replaced by a believable boyfriend, played by Mark Harmon.

This 'happily ever after' ending leaves room for a sequel, but I hope that Disney won't go there. It is time to stop making Part 2 for every Disney movie. Part 1 is just fine with me.

It was good but I've seen and read better
2008-02-14 - It was funny but I've seen it before

Her brother (Ape Face) is a pain I have two younger brothers and they're evil so I know how Lindsay Lohan feels. This story about a daughter and a mother switching places this is the funniest story ever and how do they switch places just by a fortune cookie? The book was amazing as was the movie. The movie was very good but not my type of movie I'm more of a action/horror type of guy. I think movies from books ruin what the autor writes in his/her books then everybody just goes to see the movie instead of reading the book first. But all in all it was a pretty good book that everyone of every age I think would enjoy to read and see the movie.
