Freaky Friday (2003)

Freaky Friday

This is a good story for the pre-teen or teenager to understand what a Mom goes through trying to do the best job possible of being a parent. July 16, 2008

Freaky Friday

In this case, the remake is somewhat of an improvement on the original. I have been a Disney fan for more than 60 years. As an old timer, I tend to prefer the classics. However, this particular movie has a better story line and much better acting.

Jamie Lee Curtis does a great job as usual; and Lindsay Lohan is far better in this role than any of her other efforts to this point. I was pleased to see than the original, slapstick father has been replaced by a believable boyfriend, played by Mark Harmon.

This 'happily ever after' ending leaves room for a sequel, but I hope that Disney won't go there. It is time to stop making Part 2 for every Disney movie. Part 1 is just fine with me. March 29, 2008

It was good but I've seen and read better

It was funny but I've seen it before

Her brother (Ape Face) is a pain I have two younger brothers and they're evil so I know how Lindsay Lohan feels. This story about a daughter and a mother switching places this is the funniest story ever and how do they switch places just by a fortune cookie? The book was amazing as was the movie. The movie was very good but not my type of movie I'm more of a action/horror type of guy. I think movies from books ruin what the autor writes in his/her books then everybody just goes to see the movie instead of reading the book first. But all in all it was a pretty good book that everyone of every age I think would enjoy to read and see the movie.

Too Funny to be True

Only Hollywood can invent such a comedy, but what a comedy indeed ! Imagine a mother and a daughter in the trap of some Chinese magic and the mother is the daughter and vice versa till a certain prediction is fulfilled. And the mother-daughter is getting ready for her re-marrying on the following day, and the daughter-mother is to perform in a rock concert and is falling in love for a young high-school junior or so. And, etc. ... Imbroglio upon imbroglio. When you get one, like one spaghetto I guess, you never see the end of its multiplication, like with spaghetti I guess again. Funny, light, extremely superficial but definitely entertaining and pervaded with enough empathy not to be turned off or down by the over-sentimental and don't-start-all-that-mess-again ending.
