Aside from the awkwardness of having the Lohan-aged boy interest fall for her in Curtis’ appearance, Freaky Friday remains a squeaky-clean generic romp...

Reviews for Freaky Friday
It's a conventional but pleasantly cosy remake of the 1976 Jodie Foster body-swap comedy. And in the oldest tradition of Disney moviemaking, you can be sure of a few life lessons thrown in between the laughs.

No Academy Awards here, but thanks largely to Jamie Lee Curtis it provides a good time.
12/14/03
Extremely enjoyable, sharply scripted family comedy with superb comic performances.

It’s cute, and Jamie Lee Curtis is wonderful as always, but this Disney remake just isn’t funny enough. Take your family, not your critical sensibilities.

Curtis and Lohan shine in their roles, bringing layers of comedy, drama, romance and, yes, sentiment just when needed most.

Freaky Friday may be insubstantial, but what's there is remarkably watchable.
09/06/03
One of summer's better surprises.
09/04/03
Doesn't offer much in the way of new insights into this most peculiar of subgenres.
08/30/03
Curtis slinks back toward adolescence, then grooves on it as the regenerated hormones start kicking in.
08/29/03
'Thanks to some decently staged, opposites-based comedy scenes and those finely nuanced performances by Lohan and particularly Curtis, this effort overcomes a shaky and less than promising start to emerge as an entertaining winner.'
08/25/03
The best of all the many body-switching offerings - and it's by Disney no less! Go figure.
08/21/03
It's a movie that gets by on a lot of charm from its two leads, but it also has a nice message about selfless acts of love for a family member in need. A perfect summertime outing for parents and their children.
08/17/03
This is not a bad remake at all. Updating this story to the current day only shows how relevant the concept was to begin with.
08/17/03
Another likable -- if predictable -- Disney retread.
08/15/03
Waters seems to have a knack for creating families on the edge
08/15/03
A lightweight but occasionally clever comedy that surprisingly treats its premise as more than a punch line — and does it with a big heart.
