Amazon.co.uk Review

In the wonderfully entertaining Freaky Friday, teenager Anna (Lindsay Lohan) and her fortysomething psychiatrist mum 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 fiancé (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. This 2003 remake of the 1977 original is a mother-daughter film that fathers and sons can enjoy just as much. --Bret Fetzer

5.0 out of 5 stars When the cookie crumbles, 25 Jul 2005
By Amanda Richards "Hotpurplekoolaid" (ECD, Guyana) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This is one of the most entertaining comedies I have seen in a long time. I started smiling from the start up tune "Happy Together" by the Turtles and didn't stop until long after Simple Plan finished their version at the end.

Jamie Lee Curtis is absolutely brilliant as Tess Coleman, a harried psychiatrist with two children, about to remarry after the death of her husband. Lindsay Lohan plays her daughter Anna, a rebellious teenager who can't see eye to eye with her mother.

Comparing the Lindsay Lohan of this movie with the wafer thin girl she has become, it should be noted that she looked so much prettier, happier and healthier then, that I wish she'd look back at this movie and go out and eat something.

You already know that this is a "switch" movie, and thanks to Lucille Soong as an interfering old woman, the switch is done with the crisp snap of a fortune cookie. Both Curtis and Lohan handle the change in their characters admirably, and soon both Tess and Anna get a first hand understanding of each other's rather complicated lives.

Mark Harmon has a supporting role as Tess' fiancé Ryan, and Chad Michael Murray plays Anna's love interest Jake, but this movie is all about the female leads as they get a new perspective, earn each other's respect and generally change each other, while at the same time delivering the laughs.

Tess and Anna switch
Fortune cookie lets them be
"Happy Together"

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for a freaky friday night in with the girls, 18 Oct 2004
By A Customer
I really felt quite embarrassed when I rented this out - I'm 22 and there I was renting a disney film! However, after reading the back of the case, I was compelled to watch it as the plot really appealed to me! I didn't expect to think much of this film but it actually turned out to be absolutely gorgeous and had me laughing out loud and even a bit misty eyed in places!
I was truly bowled over by the acting ability of Lindsey Lohan who was extremely convincing in her portrayal of a 40-something woman trapped inside a teenage girls body and Jamie Lee Curtis had me in stitches spouting out teenage slang which just seemed so strange coming out of her mouth!
I loved this film and could watch it time and time again, it's a feel good film for the girls and definitely one to watch with your mum!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hugely Enjoyable Family Film, 12 Dec 2005
By A Customer
I haven't seen the original but this remake is very enjoyable - funny, poignant and moving. The acting is great, the script perfect, and it gives you a warm happy feel.Perhaps a few elements could have been done better (e.g. teenager as therapist that could have been hilarious but it was left a bit cold), but overall it is a great film. Perfect for a winter's evening for all the family 3 - 103.
