Product Description A 2003 remake of the 1977 teen fantasy comedy. Disgruntled teen Anna Coleman (Lindsay Lohan) and her uptight mother Tess (Jamie Lee Curtis) wake up one morning to find that they are trapped in each other's bodies. In order to reclaim their own body, they must come to a greater understanding of one another. .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

“Ohhhh! I’m like the Crypt keeper Aaarrrgghhhh!” [Tess/Anna]
In this 2003 fantasy comedy remake focusing on the ’generation gap’ between soon to be remarried Tess Coleman[Jamie Lee Curtis] an under pressure psychiatrist and her self centred and rebellious teenage daughter Anna [Lindsay Lohan]. Needless to say they can't see eye to eye with each other. When a magical fortune cookie causes them to swap bodies for 24 hours, they are forced to come to terms with one another .The single disc opens language menu offering English and 6 European languages, then goes to a trailer before the main menu of play, scenes selection, set up [languages again and subtitles] and bonus material [bloopers, deleted scenes, alternate endings, music video, pinkslip rocks and backstage with Lindsay].Although covered twice before this does have a differing spin to it and remains fresh and entertaining throughout. With plenty of over the top sitcom fun, it’s typical family Disney fare so is good entertainment for young and older alike.

Easy to watch time and again.
Light hearted, easy-going good fun. Well worn plot, but none the worse for that. Beautifully acted. A jolly piece of work, very easy to watch, and will stand watching many times (with a decent gap between viewings). Lets face it, even the first time round one has a pretty good idea of how it's all going to pan out, and one really doesn't want any clever twists in this sort of story.

Dead funny
Ah, back when Lindsay Lohan was younger and more or less sane. How I miss those days...Back to the film. I miss the old Lindsay, I think she had so much potential and talent and I hope that someday her career can get back on track. This film proves her acting skills and how she's matured. Jamie Lee Curtis steals the show, though. I laughed so much in this film because although the premise is obviously not real, but the relationship is portrayed quite realistically and in a sincere way. That's what I love about this film - although there are absolutely hilarious bits, the film has emotional depth which makes this a great family film.

Nostalgia!
This movie fills me with nostalgia! Lindsay Lohan at her best and who doesn't love a Jamie Lee Curtis role! I used to love watching this film when I was younger and still do to this day! The DVD itself runs without flaws and I would highly recommend this movie! :)

Fabulous new take on classic film
I loved the original version of this as a child. This is sufficiently different and updated to make it a fresh film holding its own. Humerous and poignant, well acted. Huge fun, my daughters (9 & 11) and I love watching together and they really rate it.

Fab Disney film
A great story about body swapping between mum and daughter! Both characters played the parts really well and I thoroughly enjoyed this alone as well as with my 7 year old who thought it was hilarious!
