Freaky Friday runs through all the mix-ups you'd imagine and executes them with confident and lively strokes. You've never heard a more professional-sounding teen combo than these suburban kids whose musicianship and songwriting skills are already on par with most of the bands they're attempting to emulate. ...

Films like Disney's Freaky Friday aren't necessarily made to be good; they are made to be cute, innocent and fun so the entire family can enjoy them. However, Disney's The Country Bears was also a film that wasn't made for me, however I absolutely loved that family film. ... Full Review

In Freaky Friday , Tess and Anna learn practical lessons from their switch, perhaps most importantly, that each has her own set of pressures and does her well-intentioned best to cope with one crisis after another. Meanwhile, Tess-as-Anna is mostly annoyed by the attentions of motorcycle-riding, shaggy-haired high school heartthrob Jake (Chad Michael Murray). ... Full Review

How nice for Lindsay Lohan, speaking in a documentary for the DVD of Freaky Friday and currently being touted (by Disney anyway, mad at Hillary Duff) as the next best young actress since, oh, I dont know, Jamie Lee Curtis. In Freaky Friday , Tess and Anna learn practical lessons from their switch, perhaps most importantly, that each has her own set of pressures and does her well-intentioned best to cope with one crisis after another. ...

the put-upon Pei Pei (played by Rosalind Chao) runs a Chinese restaurant where the white folks feel comfortable enough to act out the most obnoxious family dramas.....they bring an appealing mutual affection for their remake project, underlined in their many "fun" scenes, in the film and on the set..... ...
