Single mother Tess Coleman (Jamie Lee Curtis) and her teenage daughter Anna (Lindsay Lohan) couldn't be more different, and it is driving them both insane. After receiving cryptic fortunes at a Chinese restaurant, the two wake up the next day to discover that they have somehow switched bodies. Unable to switch back, they are forced to masquerade as one another until a solution can be found. In the process, they develop a new sense of respect and understanding for one another.

Critics Consensus

Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan charm in Mark Waters' nicely pitched -- and Disney's second -- remake of the 1976 hit.

The original made a fairly dire comedy. This version is much better, thanks largely to a sharper script and the performances of Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan.

Maybe it's only adults who'll get teary-eyed -- kids just wanna have fun. And they will.

7/10

Pathos and levity are pulled with ease from both subtle moments and outrageously awkward ones, offering a dash of real magic alongside the illusory kind.

I’d take this to a desert island with me. Freaky Friday is cinematic comfort food, with a familiarity that plays like your favorite meal, and performances from Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan that make them feel like family.

Curtis is in top form here, yet she’s matched all the way by Lohan.

O filme é um clássico nos dias de hoje, mas a parte mais estranha é o fato dele gostar da mãe dela, mesmos sendo ela mas não era ela. ela

Freaky Friday es una comedia familiar muy entretenida que logra equilibrar el humor con un mensaje sobre la importancia de comprender a los demás.

I absolutely love this movie, true fun for the whole family! Lohan and Curtis are ate their prime! A must see for any fan of the original 1976 classic. Dare I say it’s better?!

Does get better as the movie goes on. It does follow a lot of “Disney tropes” but it did the whole life swap idea well. The story is pretty predictable though.
