Such a frustrating disappointment

Strong and Moving!

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

This movie deserves all high ratings. Not only does Jamie Lee Curtis prove to me a great Comedian, but the punch lines are displayed at exactly the right moments and exactly the right way. Curtis as a teenage girl is just as funny as Lindsay Lohan acting out the part of a grown woman trapped in her daughter's body. I loved this movie and it got great laughs out of me. I was actually able to sit in my room alone and laugh to myself without feeling stupid. So far, I've seen it three times and I don't think I will ever get tired of watching it, it just keeps getting funnier and more entertaining each time. Simply a masterpiece and I hope everyone who likes real real funny comedy gets to watch this one! This is gooood!

I feel that I could honestly call this one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. "Freaky Friday" stars Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan as a mother and daughter who end up inside each other's bodies, see what each other's daily life is really like, and switch back through the power of love. It's a simple enough story that's been done, but this film takes advantage it. Lohan and Curtis are both very good at seeming as though they are really inside each other's bodies. Putting them in implausible situations (such as the daughter in the mother's body having to go on live TV) are unexpected scenes that end up bringing big laughs. The ending is the usual, involving the mother and daughter coming to a greater understanding of each other, but this one might actually bring a few tears. Jamie Lee Curtis is hilarious in her imitation of a teenage daughter, and her scenes of trying to adapt to situations at work or at home are some of the funniest in the movie. This is Lindsay Lohan's best film since "The Parent Trap," and both of these films are remakes that actually prove to be better than their originals. It's not absolutely perfect, since some of the material can be a little over-the-top at unnecessary times, but it's still very enjoyable. All ages alike will find something to enjoy here.

"Family Fun" doesn't need to be completely innocuous or empty-headed, and this comedy is a well-crafted, easy-going, energetic time-bending teen fantasy--that will also appeal to parents, as both generations get in their licks when mother and daughter change identities for an inch of time--long enough for either to learn some worthwhile lessons.Freaky Friday is not a stupid film, nor is it cutting-edge--Curtis and Lohan are obviously having a delightful time, and if you're not looking for consciousness-raising of any significance, you will too! It's pleasant to watch a pro at work with a talented younger performer, and with luck, perhaps Lohan will someday achieve the promise as an adult she shows in this delightful romp.

There is such chemistry between Lohan and Curtis that I was sucked into this fantasy lock, stock and barrel. The two divas do not miss a trick when it comes time to convince us that they are indeed the other person trapped in a new body. Curtis winces, sashays, smirks, wails and gasps like a teenager, and Lohan captures every nuance of a beleaguered middle-aged professional struggling to maintain control In a situation that defies her every attempt to cover up one wacky trap after another. She has to let her daughter, who now inhabits her body, represent her as a psychotherapist, both in the office and on a TV talk show to discuss her book. The results are always hilarious, with Curtis acting exactly like a teenager attempting to navigate through session after session with her Mom's nutty patients. Equally wacky are the scenes of Lohan, with her mother's uptight personality trying to fit in as a high school student deflecting the amorous advances of Jake, the daughter's motorcycle-riding stud boyfriend. Underneath all these hijinks is the serious part of this, and every, switch movie, the journey that mother and daughter take that gives each a firsthand understanding of what makes the other tick. I'm a 58-year-old guy, not a fan of most chick flicks, funny or otherwise, but I was crying like a kid when Curtis and Lohan finally "got" each other and reached a point of mutual admiration and love that, unfortunately, seems to be possible only in movies. That's why they make them, why we see them, and why we are grateful when one of them turns out to be a timeless classic, like Freaky Friday.
