Julian S Even for its era, it’s outdated, but Barbara Harris is an absolute delight. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/16/25 Full Review Audience Member I watched this after I watched Freaky Friday with Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis. I am sad to say I am very disappointed. I muscled through the first quarter, cringing an uncountable amount of times, but finally had to skip to the end, just because I really WANTED to like this, but just couldn't. This movie has not aged well. I would not recommend. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/07/25 Full Review Mike P So-so sci-fi slapstick from Disney; offering up the (modern generation's) first body swap comedy...with middling results. Jodie Foster and Barbara Harris switch places for a day and learn to better appreciate each other...The acting's ok, I guess; although these are alot of stereotypes...and some of this is cringe and hasn't aged well. The biggest innovation Mary Rodgers; who wrote the book and the screenplay; makes to this version; is the wise choice to have BOTH mother and daughter switch...(In the book the mother just does some witchy Hocus pocus to make Annabelle enter HER body; to assume all HER duties...While she just kind of sits Shiva for the day; learning nothing...So this is better)... So this is ok overall but nothing to write home about...(This is also the beginning of what Jodie Foster describes as her "fat period"; which lasted for about two years...) Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/27/24 Full Review Dale R A mother and daughter who don’t see eye to eye, switch places in their lives for a day. Some of the situations that the two find themselves in are over exaggerated for comedic effect. For me this made the movie less engaging, as I felt the real world situations might have been more interesting. Barbara Harris, who plays the mother, and a young Jodie Foster, who plays the daughter, do a good job of playing another character when the two switch bodies. But, they didn’t seem to play each other very well, just a different character. The father, played by John Astin, was a “male chauvinist pig”, but that plot line really didn’t resolve and he got his way most often. Maybe that was social commentary, I’m not sure. I also feel that since this was remade in the 1990’s, that this version is too dated to connect with today’s audience. If it sounds like something up your alley, then check it out. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Jeffrey M Freaky Friday was an okay movie I watched it kind of a long time ago, but maybe if I had watched it sooner, I would have liked it more. Freaky Friday was an interesting movie, but I remember it, like a lot of old Disney movies, was slightly boring. Freaky Friday was an okay movie. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/24 Full Review Zinjx W Way better than the remake with Lindsay Lohan from (2003). 40 years old (looks very young) Barbara Harris is excellent in this movie.
