Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan star in Freaky Friday, a family comedy released on August 6th, 2003. The film is directed by Mark Waters and produced by Andrew Gunn. Its plot consists of Dr. Tess Coleman (Curtis) and her daughter Anna (Lohan) switching bodies after fighting about their differences and consuming a fortune cookie. Anna must learn to love her soon-to-be stepfather and Tess must appreciate the music of Anna’s band in order to find a way to switch back, preferably before Tess’s wedding on Saturday.
This movie is one I can repeatedly watch and not tire of, even if I know the majority of the lines. It is a hilarious movie that does an accurate job of portraying mother and teenage daughter relationships. With an almost deaf grandfather, a fiancĂ© that fails to realize he is kissing Anna in Tess’s body, a Chinese woman who likes to make others’ Fridays freaky, and an immature younger brother, this movie has memorably funny moments. The songs featured are catchy and it captures Lindsay Lohan in a time that everyone misses, before alcohol overcame her. I appreciate the emphasis placed on understanding another person and how it may be like to bet them. Such a film demonstrates empathy while eliminating former judgments about another. It reminds the audience that we should treat our family members better and practice more patience with them.
