IMDb profile
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 television remake was produced for ABC in 1995. This story is based on the book of the same title 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.

Tagline

  • What's every teenager's worst nightmare...? Turning into her mother.

Cast

Cameos:
  • The man holding the baby at the wedding is the director Mark Waters.
  • Marc McClure (who played Boris Harris, the daughter's love interest in the original film) has a brief cameo as Boris the delivery man.

Production

The director was hoping to cast Jodie Foster (who was in the original version and played the daughter) as Tess Coleman, but she turned it down to spend more time with her family. Annette Bening was then cast in the role, but dropped out because of family obligations.

Jamie Lee Curtis was given the role only four days before filming began. When Jamie Lee Curtis found out that Lindsay Lohan had starred in the The Parent Trap, she asked "Which twin did she play?", unaware that Lohan had performed both roles.

Marc McClure, who played Boris Harris, the daughter's love interest in the original film, has a brief cameo as Boris the delivery man. Director Mark Waters also makes a cameo holding a baby at the wedding. Also, in the end scene when Anna is dancing with Jake, there is a woman in the background dancing with an older gentleman, and she looks directly at the camera. This woman is Lindsay Lohan's mother, Dina Lohan.

The snapshots in the opening credits are photos of Jamie Lee Curtis and her daughter, Annie Guest.

Amir Derakh from the band Orgy instructed Jamie Lee Curtis on how to play the guitar. In the concert sequence, that is actually Curtis during the solo.

Reception

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 6.6/10.

The movie was nominated for a Golden Globe (Best Leading Actress- Musical/Comedy) for Jamie Lee Curtis's performance as Tess. jdgurfegdghy kitty xd
