Plot: Dr. Tess Coleman (JAMIE LEE CURTIS) and her fifteen-year-old daughter, Anna (LINDSAY LOHAN), are not getting along. They don’t see eye-to-eye on clothes, hair, music, and certainly not on each other’s taste in men.

As they’re literally forced to walk in each other’s shoes, they gain a little newfound respect for the other’s point of view.

 Director Mark S. Waters whips up a sweet and thoroughly modern version of the '70s movie that caters to young adults without being crass. Propped up by a charming story and strong performances, Freaky Friday is a touching and funny movie for kids, teens and adults.  --Guylaine Cadorette (Hollywood.com)
A relatively funny and enjoyable flick B---Lee Tistaert (Lee's Movie Info)
"Freaky Friday" is no "Finding Nemo" or any other Disney classic, but it's a decent, fun family film about a mother and daughter who literally get to walk a mile (and, in this case, 93 minutes) in the other's shoes.--Ron Weiskind (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)
Nothing about Freaky Friday is really freaky, as its theme is supposed to be. The plot is wholly unoriginal, and so is the concept. The effects of body-switching are not developed, only showcased for laughs. Curtis is uninteresting despite her star power. 4/10--'Le Apprenti' (Movie-Vault.com)
Freaky Friday, is disarming, charming fun. And it features two terrific performances  --Pete Croatto (FilmCritic.com)
Aside from a brief stretch towards the end of the second act that drags a little, the film's pace is quick and brisk. It's virtually impossible to watch the movie without smiling throughout, and for that alone, Freaky Friday is worth a look. --David Nusair (Reel Film Reviews)
Extremely enjoyable, sharply scripted family comedy with superb comic performances from both Jamie Lee Curtis and Lyndsay Lohan. --Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
"Freaky Friday" is Disney's best comedy in years. --Lou Lumenick (New York Post)
what the flick lacks in creativity, style and political correctness it makes up for with Curtis' spunky performance in the teenage posture.  --Lynda Lin (The Movie Insider)

| Probably the best body-swap comedy since Big, and it certainly wipes the floor with the dismal The Hot Chick from earlier this year. 7/10 --Gary Panton (Movie Gazette)
This is a family comedy designed for young girls predominantly and whilst its a far better effort than some of the more recent attempts in the genre, its not a great comedy or memorable by any means. Rather its a simple guilty pleasure - a light-hearted and fun picture, and one of the few recent remakes which actually works.  --Garth Franklin (DarkHorizons)
