tbills2 2003's Freaky Friday starring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis is a modern remake of Disney's popular 1976 Freaky Friday starring JodIe Foster and Barbara Harris with the set formula where the daughter transfers bodies with the mother whom then in turn has to go off to work and the mother transfers bodies with the daughter whom then in turn has to go back to school. The Freaky Fridays have a classic movie premise. Lindsay's and Jamie Lee's Freaky Friday is maybe not quite the overall impressive technical achievement that Jodie's and Barbara's original is, which is so good and such a kind, easy showing, but this Freaky Friday is actually better in a lot of ways. It's funnier, I think. It may be way more bogged down and a little more astatic due to its attempt at a more perceptible plot than the original which had a way more indiscernible plot, but at least it tries. I like this Freaky Friday even more than I do the original because of Lindsay and Jamie Lee and it being from 2003 and it being a little hipper and a little sexier but the '73 one is like, way better, but, just in like an existential kinda sense. I know the original is really good but I love them both because they're both really great, I think. No, I know.

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.

worldwidewebsurfer I'd like to address user "leplatypus from Paris" and his/her review, stating:"However my biggest dislike with this movie lies with its treatment of supernatural. The fact that mother and sister have changed souls and that audience can't discern it visually diminishes the impact. Maybe i am dumb, but every time i saw Jaime inhabited by Lohan's soul, i reacted as if she was Jaime who was still playing (I know it was that actually!). In other words, as I witness always the same body, for me, the person stayed the same. To be clear, as soon as the exchange happened, i would have rather Jaime playing the part of Lohan and vice- versa. This way, the supernatural effect would have been clear and it would have been more funny to see Jaime going to high school with Lohan's look… It's all the more logical that the movie cover makes this choice: Jaime dressed as a punk girl and Lohan as a Lady!"I think she's confusing a freaky switch with afterlife placement of a soul in someone's body. This is clearly and masterfully demonstrated by the 2001 Chris Rock masterpierce "Down to Earth."While it's an honest mistake, that should tarnish this movie. With that said, no one should trust other reviews from "leplatypus from Paris." This movie? 10 stars, starring 2 stars: Lohan and Curtis.

Yakov Kuznetsov Terrific movie! I'm not really into writing reviews and stuff. But seeing rating "6" for this one, I just can't agree!!! It is dynamic, very funny one! Somewhat sentimental -- but if you don't like it then no worries, it won't be pressing you at all. My whole family enjoyed it last night.
