Movie Review: A Fantastic Film to Watch With Your Family
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fantastic funny film that you can actually watch with your kids. It fosters understanding. This ninety minute film I believe is a remake of an earlier Disney film. A busy psychiatrist and widowed mom, Tess Coleman (Jamie Lee Curtis), and her musical teenage honor student daughter, Anna (Lindsay Lohan), turn squabbling into an Olympic event. On the verge of remarrying Tess has a heart to heart talk with Anna in a Chinese restaurant about her recent behavior in school. In order for each to learn how the other lives a Chinese woman gives them each a fortune cookie which causes them to switch bodies. So for one freaky Friday the two have to masquerade as each other. Tess finds out that being a modern teenager isn't as easy as she thought. Anna finds out that her mother's life isn't as perfect as it seems. Only selfless love can change the two back. Mother and daughter grow in love and admiration. Jamie Lee Curtis is amazing as a teenager.Movie Review: Loved it.
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this movie with my 13 year old son. We'd been bickering one afternoon, and he went to his room to get away from me. This movie came on the TV. I watched the first 5 minutes and thought it was so perfectly humorous, I called my son in to watch it. We both loved it. The themes between a teenage girl & her mom can apply in some respects to what a teenage son and his mom experience. My son & I both have to see good acting for a movie to truly appeal to us, this has it. Lindsay Lohan's partying ways in her personal life overshadow her acting abilities, but with the right roles, she's great, and she flawlessly pulls this role off. Jamie Lee offers the perfect portrayal of a teenager in an adult body. Two pivotal characters who appear for only a brief time are the mother & daughter who run the Chinese restaurant. They couldn't be better at these small but important parts in this story. One of my favorite movies.Movie Review: Lindsay Lohan classic
Summary: 5 Stars
Before Lohan got all messed up in drugs and stealing and what have you, she delivered quite a few solid films, among these 'Mean Girls' and 'Parent Trap'. This film is very enjoyable, and Jamie Lee Curtis also does a wonderful job as the mother.
Lohan and Curtis do great jobs in their roles, whether as the actual mother and daughter, or after their bodies have been switched and they have to deal with the challenges that their new bodies (and lives accompanying the bodies) bring. Lohan is funny when she plays the mother, acting all stern and what not and her frustration at having her maternal authority taken away, while Curtis also does wonderful as the teen daughter excited to assert her newfound power, such as disciplining her little brother or using her power to one-up her mother-daughter. Sound confusing? Then watch this film - you'll enjoy it! Just about everyone I know, including my own dad, liked this film.
Movie Review: FREAKY FRIDAY
Summary: 5 Stars
Lindsay Lohan & Jamie Lee Curtis star in this wonderful and delightful Disney comedy about a mother and a daughter who argue a lot and end up switching bodies with one another after a mysterious fortune cookie! Lindsay Lohan plays the daughter named Anna, whom has a passion for being in a rock band, and also has a crush on this guy named Jake, whom she see's at school, and is too afraid to talk to him.
Jamie Lee Curtis plays the mother named Tess Coleman, whom is a psychology doctor, and is too busy to understand what Anna wants or what Anna wants her mother to understand.
Once Anna and her mother are in each other's bodies, they learn to understand how it's like to be one another, and with that, they find love and respect in each other, and for a Disney movie, this one is sure to be a very funny and hilarious Disney film to watch for the whole family to enjoy! I give this movie too thumbs up! TOTALLY!!!
Movie Review: My mom and I just *Ioved it*!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best sort of "chick flick" to take your mom to and no, age doesn't matter since it addresses the classic "mother and daughter" arguement, regardless of age.We laughed from the opening sequence until it ended, and yes, Jamie Lee is still one amazing actress.
It's poignant,funny, well-written and sentimental at the same time, but it really is Jamie Lee's movie.
I first saw the trailer a few months back before "Finding Nemo", and afterwards I found out that Catherine Zeta-Jones didn't accept the role, and I'm so glad that she didn't.
So, treat your mom to lunch or dinner and go and see this movie together. Enjoy the time with your mom, go and have pie or cheesecake and ice cream (or coffee and apertifs!) after the movie, since it's just *that* kind of a film.
Oh, and bring a ton of tissues; if you're not feeling anything or laughing, you might want to see if you still have a heartbeat.
