directed by: Mark Waters Audience Rating: PG (Parental Guidance Suggested) Binding: VHS Tape EAN: 9780788848605 Format: Closed-captioned, Color, NTSC ISBN: 0788848607 Label: Buena Vista Pictures Languages: Manufacturer: Buena Vista Pictures Number Of Items: 1 Publisher: Buena Vista Pictures Release Date: December 16, 2003 Running Time: 97 minutes Studio: Buena Vista Pictures Theatrical Release Date: August 06, 2003 Rating:  - Jamie Lee Curtis in a career-high star turnHaving been a lifelong fan of Mary Rodgers' classic novel "Freaky Friday," as well as the Disney version from 1976 that let Jodie Foster and Barbara Harris play superego and id respectively, I approached this remake with a mixture of curiosity and dread. Though much of Rodgers' novel is again (needlessly) reworked and cast aside, this remake has one flat-out scrumptious bonbon wrapped up in the recycled packaging: Jamie Lee Curtis. If the 1976 version gave the edge to Foster's crisp, no-nonsense adult-in-a-teenager's body, this version lets Curtis as the teenager-in-the-adult loose on the park swings, and she doesn't stop until she's conquered the entire playground. (As the daughter/mother, Lindsay Lohan mostly plays an adult via her too-bright, hyper-competent smile and over-elocution, though her punk-pop singing is suprisingly effective.) Supporting actors like Harold Gould and Mark Harmon are mostly furniture (Harmon looks like you could dust him). It's Curtis, with her vulpine smile and sexy swagger as she racks up the charge card, who inspires giggle fits of happiness, and when she and her daughter's boyfriend (Chad Michael Murray) breathlessly discuss bands they love in a coffee shop, it's pure, mooney bliss. Great art it isn't, but it sure is fun, especially for tweeners and their ex-90's-riot grrllll moms. Rating:  - Great movie for pre-teens...and parents!My two girls - ages 7 & 9 have watched it 10 times and they love it. I've never been a fan of Jamie Lee Curtis and wasn't interested in seeing it, but after seeing all or part of it several times I must admit it's funny and engaging. Lohan and Curtis both give great performances - having to act both as a highschooler and as an adult, and the supporting performances are all solid. And there's not much in the way of objectional material. Rating: - Freaky FridayIt all starts when they switch bodies and they realize how tough each other's life can be.
