Tess Coleman and her daughter Anna have one thing in common… that they can’t relate to each other at all. Each moment of every day, they are fighting about something and, one particularly nasty Thursday evening, Anna has a huge row with Tess because she is forced to miss out on a once-in-a-lifetime audition for her rock band. With the aid of a little mystic mayhem, Anna and Tess awake on Friday morning to discover that they are trapped in each other’s bodies. With Tess’s wedding on Saturday, mother and daughter are forced to walk in each other’s shoes in order to find a way to switch back.
This movie is a timeless classic! It’s the perfect light, afternoon flick, filled with rock music, comedy, drama, and heart. I REALLY LOVE THIS FILM!

With Tess’s wedding on Saturday, mother and daughter are forced to walk in each other’s shoes in order to find a way to switch them back.
Now, this movie is a remake, so we already know that the story has been done. I think what made this movie really memorable is the fact that it’s updated for a modern audience, with loads of references to rock bands, and modern slang, and the fact that the movie was pushed along solely by the brilliant performances from Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis.
Lindsay stars as Anna and she was just gorgeous. Bringing the right amount of drama and teenage angst, but carefully treading the line so as not to walk into M rated territory, she was just brilliant and wonderfully funny playing a mother.
Jamie Lee Curtis stars as Tess and she was just as glamorous. She stole every scene she was in when she was Anna in Tess’s body. A very cool and rocking mum. I think what I love most about this movie was the fact that, unlike in The Hot Chick, both Lindsay and Jamie were able to be one another when they were in different bodies. They performed so well, you really felt as though they were mother and daughter trapped in each other’s bodies. Just brilliant!
Starring Chad Michael Murray, Harold Gould, Mark Harmon, Christina Vidal, Hayley Hudson, and Stephen Tobolowsky, Freaky Friday is a fantastic family movie filled with drama, vendettas, rock music, comedy, and heart. I LOVE THIS MOVIE!
