Really good watch, will watch again, and can recommend.

I'm not sure what it is about this movie, but it's just an easy, fun watch. Jamie Lee Curtis is a seasoned actress, and Lindsey Lohan had finally built enough experience to be reliable in this role where she's basically doing an impression of Jamie Lee Curtis being her mom. I'm not a huge fan of either one, but I'm not going to deny their acting "chops" and they bring it here, giving the audience a natural and fun atmosphere to the dilemma.

There are several very good improvements on original movie in this: cutting a lot of the tho... read the rest.

Unlike with 'The Parent Trap' films, there is a fair gap in favour of the original for 'Freaky Friday'.

This 2003 remake is still very good, I definitely enjoyed it. It just feels a little hollow in some areas, at least until the sweet ending. Lindsay Lohan is great as the daughter, giving Jodie Foster a solid match. Jamie Lee Curtis gives a fairly strong performance, though Barbara Harris' portrayal of the mother is superior in my opinion.

There's fun to be had here for sure, it's just not on the same level as the excellent original for me.
