Reviews for Freaky Friday
Disney's new Freaky Friday may be a remake, but it ripples with far more creative zeal than this summer's slew of uninventive sequels, which are basically remakes in themselves.

Top CriticSurprisingly decent.
08/06/03
Top CriticNo need to wait till Friday, this one's good any day of the week.
08/06/03
Good, wholesome fun with no pretense.
08/06/03
Wise but not too preachy, warm but never snuggly, it's also one of the funniest films this year.
08/06/03
[The] filmmakers actually manage to improve on creaky material.
08/06/03
In happily embracing its contrivances, [the movie] proves mildly diverting.
08/06/03
Top CriticThe old switcheroo still has the juice to teach and tickle.
08/06/03
Thanks to the inventive performances, smooth direction by Mark Waters and fresh script ideas by Heather Hach and Leslie Dixon, it actually has something to offer since the 1977 original.
08/06/03
Top CriticThe ideal remake -- funny, good-hearted and loaded with genuine charms of its own.
08/06/03
Although the role reversal genre has been done to death, snaps to Freaky Friday for unearthing plenty of fresh laughs.
08/06/03
[Freaky Friday] delivers scenes we can anticipate, but with more charm and wit than we expect.
08/06/03
Top CriticHow a remake should be done.
08/06/03
..."Freaky Friday" comes through.
08/06/03
I'll bet my DVD collection that barely anyone's ire will be raised over the insensitivity shown to Asians in Freaky Friday. It deserves to be greeted with a fair degree of disgust.
08/06/03
The movie's predictability takes little away from its fizzy entertainment value.
08/06/03
This movie is entertaining and charming, it may be as unexpected as waking up in your mother's/daughter's body.
08/06/03
The Morals of the Story are presented with a degree of craftiness generally unseen in most modern-day Family Flicks, and there's a refreshing lack of push-button pablum that one normally sees in movies of this sort.
08/06/03
...a minor treasure: a family-friendly remake funnier, fresher and more affecting than the flavorless original.
