Reviews for Freaky Friday
The film is filled with sight gags and features a wonderful performance by Harris.
Good performances struggle gamely to overcome the increasingly predictable plot.
Toward the end there are some amusing car-chase scenes. Elsewhere the humor is clotted by the feeling that the jokes are chasing the reactions, instead of the other way around.
The situation -- a mother and daughter switch personalities for a day -- is rife with possibilities, but since this 1977 comedy is a Disney film, said possibilities are scrupulously squandered.
