Freaky Friday Reviews
Freaky Friday could have been just another remake but Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan make it a classic that still entertains audiences twenty years later.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 6, 2023
The more cartoonish Friday finds Lohan ably handling the generation-gap body switch gimmick...

One of Disney's best remakes also Lindsay Lohan's finest hours.
| Original Score: 4/5 | May 23, 2022
Fresh, highly entertaining, and even a little bit challenging.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 26, 2020
A tired retread that a well-paid lead actor walks away from? Doesn't sound like screen magic in the making. But darned if Mr. Waters and his writers didn't pull it off. With a lot of help from a pinch-hitting Mom and a teenage Disney remake veteran.

Curtis shows her comedic flare with gusto, perfectly capturing the mannerisms of a 15-year-old in her 44-year-old body. She is outstanding here.

Freaky Friday will have you wondering what freak of nature has occurred to bring us first, a delightfully refreshing remake and adaptation superior to the original and second, another home run for Disney.

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.

What should have been a bland Disney remake has somehow ended up as the most satisfying family comedy for a long time.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 25, 2011
Mother-daughter switch is fun comedic chaos.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 24, 2010
A sitcom formula film that tries too hard.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 7, 2010
A fun, very well-acted and laugh out loud funny remake.

Maybe it's only adults who'll get teary-eyed -- kids just wanna have fun. And they will.
| Aug 18, 2008
The two featured females offset these distractions by having so much apparent fun that it becomes contagious.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 7, 2008
The premise provides a fine showcase for the two appealing actresses, who appropriate each other's vocal and physical mannerisms with dead-on accuracy.
| Jul 19, 2007
A hilarious, heartwarming remake.
| Original Score: 4/4 | Apr 15, 2007
Cute and innocently funny, with engaging turns from a beautifully silly Curtis, and Lindsay Lohan as a 21st century high school heroine.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 1, 2006
Nothing's really wrong here, but nor are there surprises.

It's meant to be a fun kid's movie, and it's a must see for mothers and daughters.
