Howard says: “The biggest surprise this summer turns out to be the one that everyone rolled their eyes at. FREAKY FRIDAY, yet another Disney remake of one of their own films, is a well-acted, well-scripted piece of family fluff. For anyone who doesn’t know the story, basically a mother and a daughter who don’t understand each other switch bodies for a day.

“It doesn’t matter how they do it because once it happens the film takes off. Both Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan are fantastic playing each other’s characters — especially Curtis. She has a complete loss of inhibition and is playing it for broke. Her outbursts of slang (like when she incredulously yells ‘Shuut UP!’) are hilarious and she brings energy to the screen that hasn’t been seen from her for years.

“Of course it’s Disney so you know that everything will end up with nice, sappy, understanding ending, but because of all the early shenanigans I found that I actually liked these two people a lot. This leads to the reconciliation being, well, all right I’ll say
it… heart-warming. In other words, FREAKY FRIDAY is definite guilty-pleasure material.” 3 cats
