Freaky Friday is a 2003 comedy drama film starring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis as a daughter and mother whose bodies are switched because of an enchanted Chinese fortune cookie.
This is the third time this film has been made by Disney, and the second in ten years. The original was made in 1976, and a 1995 remake was produced for A.B.C. T.V. in 1995. This story is based on the book by Mary Rodgers.
This film is Lindsay Lohan's first theatrical film since her appearance as a child actress in 1998's The Parent Trap. The film's producer Andrew Gunn said he initially hoped Jodie Foster (who played the daughter in the original film, "Freaky Friday" (1976) would be interested to play the mother in the remake. Foster declined, in part because of concerns that the casting stunt would overshadow the movie's overall merit.
The movie was a box office success, garnering a total of $ 110,222,438. Critics were mostly positive in their movie reviews. On Yahoo! movies it got a B grade, on Rotten Tomatoes it has an overall score of 89% as of July 12, 2007, and on I.M.D.B. it got a 6.7/10.
