SoTrumpBelieve Must See Movie...

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

johnral321 I usually wouldn't review a movie like this, but I felt that the current rating of 6.2 does not do this movie justice. At the risk of repeating what others here have said, the acting of mother and daughter in the movie was spot-on. The comedy was very well done. The movie strikes the right emotional tone and is very touching, and is very effective at demonstrating the importance of perspective. My favorite scene is the one with the guitar; I always find that very powerful.

mike48128 I honestly barely remember the 1st movie version but this one is great as Jamie Lee Curtis gives a remarkably good performance. She and Lindsay Lohan are extraordinary and they make this far-fetched fantasy tale of body swapping quite believable. A few people thought that the "fortune-cookie curse" and Asian characters were a bit "stereotypical". As I have said in other reviews before: "It's a fantasy so don't take it too seriously". Yes, this body-switching "gimmick" has been used many times before in several (recent) movies and even in science fiction, such as "Star Trek". Here it also proves to be a powerful fable about cooperation and tolerance between family members. It manages to do all that and still be entertaining too! Very "clean-cut" but it just skirts past the un-nerving possibility that Mom could have had sex while inhabited by her 15-year-old daughter's soul. (It doesn't happen) It also covers the very real truth(s) about cruel "bullying" in high school and biased teachers that treat students unfairly. Both happened to me when I was a "kid". Both Lindsay and Jamie are actually playing the guitar and not faking it! Mark Harmon plays the the fiancé of Jamie. Lindsay is best known for: "Freaky Friday" and "The Parent Trap" remakes, "Herbie Fully Loaded", and "Mean Girls". All of which were made early in her film and music career.

lisafordeay Ah poor Lindsay Lohan before she lost the plot,she was great in The Parent Trap,Herbie Fully Loaded,even this movie was good so here is my review on Freaky Friday.Lohan plays Anna Coleman a rebellious teenager who likes to rock it out with her mates and their band that's up for a completion,but Anna's overprotective mother Tess(played by Jamie Lee Curtis)doesn't want her to miss out on her engagement party dinner with her new fiancé(played by Mark Harmon who also starred in the 2004 movie Chasing Liberty as Mandy Moore's dad who's a president). But when Anna and Tess receive mysterious fortune cookies from a mysterious Chinese woman the two wake up the next morning in body swap reverse. So now Lindsay Lohan IS Jamie Lee Curtis and vice versa for Curtis' charcther. Now the two must figure out how to change back before Tess' big day ???Overall I found this to be a guilt pleasure of mine,its funny,charming and its a great film to watch with your mates. For what it is i'd say check it out.

Rick Shur There is such chemistry between Lohan and Curtis that I was sucked into this fantasy lock, stock and barrel. The two divas do not miss a trick when it comes time to convince us that they are indeed the other person trapped in a new body. Curtis winces, sashays, smirks, wails and gasps like a teenager, and Lohan captures every nuance of a beleaguered middle-aged professional struggling to maintain control In a situation that defies her every attempt to cover up one wacky trap after another. She has to let her daughter, who now inhabits her body, represent her as a psychotherapist, both in the office and on a TV talk show to discuss her book. The results are always hilarious, with Curtis acting exactly like a teenager attempting to navigate through session after session with her Mom's nutty patients. Equally wacky are the scenes of Lohan, with her mother's uptight personality trying to fit in as a high school student deflecting the amorous advances of Jake, the daughter's motorcycle-riding stud boyfriend. Underneath all these hijinks is the serious part of this, and every, switch movie, the journey that mother and daughter take that gives each a firsthand understanding of what makes the other tick. I'm a 58-year-old guy, not a fan of most chick flicks, funny or otherwise, but I was crying like a kid when Curtis and Lohan finally "got" each other and reached a point of mutual admiration and love that, unfortunately, seems to be possible only in movies. That's why they make them, why we see them, and why we are grateful when one of them turns out to be a timeless classic, like Freaky Friday.
