Cute and innocently funny, with engaging turns from a beautifully silly Curtis, and Lindsay Lohan as a 21st century high school heroine.

Reviews for Freaky Friday
Top CriticNothing's really wrong here, but nor are there surprises.

Top CriticThis is a warm, charming and entertaining movie that took me by surprise.
07/20/04
Somehow people have got it into their heads that this is a good movie.
02/24/04
A funny and energetic body-swap comedy, with a nicely warm and sympathetic approach.
01/15/04
Top CriticIt'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.
12/15/03
Top CriticExtremely enjoyable, sharply scripted family comedy with superb comic performances.
10/26/03
Curtis and Lohan shine in their roles, bringing layers of comedy, drama, romance and, yes, sentiment just when needed most.

The premise provides a fine showcase for the two appealing actresses, who appropriate each other's vocal and physical mannerisms with dead-on accuracy.
07/19/07
A hilarious, heartwarming remake.

It’s meant to be a fun kid’s movie, and it’s a must see for mothers and daughters.
12/06/05
A one trick pony.
12/06/05
Offers enough all-around entertainment for most any teen, or even adult, to appreciate through its quick 90-minute run.
03/05/05
...hardly a classic -- neither was the original -- [but] good-natured enough that you'll be willing overlook the terrible Chinese accents and the obligatory smarmy speeches.
01/27/05
I now understand why I’ve had to sit through all the truly awful movies I’ve seen this summer. The Almighty was preparing me for Freaky Friday.
10/07/04
Good fun, with a timeless generational understanding theme tossed in for good measure.
