Freaky Friday (2003, USA) C-97m. *** D: Mark Waters. Starring Jamie Lee Curtis, Lindsay Lohan, Mark Harmon, Harold Gould, Chad Michael Murray, Stephen Tobolowsky, Christina Vidal, Mark Waters. Remake of the 1976 Jodie Foster body-switch comedy is entertaining: Therapist Curtis and her 15-year-old daughter Lohan cannot get along with each other anymore. A fortune cookie from a Chinese restaurant makes them switch their bodies - at the most inconvenient of times: Curtis is about to re-marry, and Lohan's rock band has a concert coming up. Can they play each other's roles - and learn from it? Curtis is great in this enjoyable comedy, based on a novel by Mary Rodgers.
