Chad Michael Murray, Christina Vidal, Haley Hudson

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,...( read more  read more... ) 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).

    Jamie Lee Curtis is great; the only entertaining element of this movie.

    A lotta better than Just My Luck and Herbie : Fully Loaded that's for certain. Almost the entire casts make this flick enjoyable.

    This remake was good, but I guess I'm a little old fashioned. Usually, I prefer the originals. Jodie Foster is still my favorite Anna.

    I love Freaky Friday!! It's so freakin funny! It's such a feel-good movie, it just makes me happy whenever I watch it. And I love that song, Take Me Away... 'don't wanna grow up, I wanna get out. Yeh, take me away...'!!!

    Personally we feel that the first freaky friday was much better. We like good actors like:
    Julie walters
    Helen Mirren
    Hugh Grant
    Sarah Parish
    Idina Menzel

    to name a few!
    Thanks.
