         Freaky Friday is an American fantasy-comedy film directed by Mark Waters. It tells the story of a single mother Tess Coleman (Jamie Curtis) and her teenage daughter Anna Coleman (Lindsay Lohan) who can’t handle their differences which drives them both insane.

They receive a fortune cookie at a Chinese restaurant, and when they wake up the next day they discover that their bodies had been switched. They can’t switch their bodies back and forced to pretend as if Tess is Anna and Anna is Tess, until they found the solution. The solution made them both understand and respect one another.

As a fantasy-comedy film, one would expect the supernatural effect in the film, most likely in the scene where Anna and Tess switched souls. However, the cameras explained it all. The cameras do the “switching” thing in the movie that made us, the viewers, to understand that the two are switching.

Jamie Curtis did it well in acting as a teenager in the movie. She did not overdo the acting as a teenager. She did it perfectly in the scene where she had to rock on the audition concert.

The opening music “Happy Together” will make you excited to watch the movie. It is entertaining. And it really matched to the said film since it is the story about the mother and daughter. And when the “switching” begins, the strange music fits at the scene. It makes the scene more exciting.

This is a great movie for family. It was funny and heart touching movie. This will give you an unforgettable lesson in your life that you should respect and understand the people around you. All in all, 4 out of 5 stars. This movie is worth recommended to all.
