Synopsis of the DVD Movie: Freaky Friday,
Dr. Tess Coleman and her fifteen-year-old daughter, Anna, are not getting along. They don't see eye-to-eye on clothes, hair, music and certainly not in each other's taste in men. One Thursday evening, their disagreements reach a fever pitch--Anna is incensed that her mother doesn't support her musical aspirations and Tess, a widow about to remarry, can't see why Anna won't give her fiance a break. Everything soon changes when two identical Chinese fortune cookies cause a little mystic mayhem. On the next morning, their Friday gets freaky when Tess and Anna find themselves inside the other's body. As they literally walk a mile in each other's shoes, they gain a little newfound respect for each other's point of view. But with Tess' wedding coming on Saturday, the two have to find a way to switch back (and fast).

Movie Plot of: Freaky Friday,
Annabel and her mother Tess are constant quibblers. Tess's fiance is an unacceptable replacement for Anna's dad, and Anna's music, friends, grades and taste in boys (ad nausem) are all unacceptable in her mother's eys. Then dawns that fateful freaky friday-- when Anna and Tess switch bodies, and must learn to live in each other's place. It is only then that "selfless love" will change them back. A fresh and delightful, if somewhat cheesy, family comedy.

Reviews of the movie: Freaky Friday,
Freaky Friday' is a fun, high-spirited remake of the 1976 film of the same name, which served as ground zero for the body-switch movie craze of the 1980's.
Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan are terrific as the mother and daughter who don't see eye-to-eye on too many things, least of all how the other should be living her life. But when a freak `accident' befalls them, causing each of them to wind up in the other's body, both are forced to see things from the other person's perspective. This sort of one-joke setup could easily have resulted in a mechanical, manufactured comedy, but writers Heather Hach and Leslie Dixon, along with director Mark Waters, have decided to have some real fun with the premise by devising clever scenarios that bend the mind a little and by building a surprising amount of depth into the two lead characters. We learn quite a bit about how each generation views the other in the course of all the highflying antics.
This film is a real tour de force for the two actresses, especially Jamie Lee Curtis, who never falters for a moment in her characterization of a bratty teenager trapped in a middle-aged woman's body. Lindsay Lohan has the less challenging – and less fun – job of portraying her opposite number, but Lindsay Lohan still delivers a performance of tremendous charm and substance.
`Freaky Friday' may not be original, but it provides more laugh-out-loud moments than virtually any comedy released in 2003.
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 Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee 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
