Freaky Friday (2003)
The body swap comedy Freaky Friday stars Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis as a mother and daughter who literally walk a mile in each other’s shoes. Tess Coleman (Curtis), a high-powered psychiatrist who can psychoanalyze anyone - except her own misunderstood teenage daughter Anna (Lohan) – is about to get married.
But a magical fortune cookie flips their worlds upside down, swapping their bodies. Suddenly, Tess must survive high school hallways, gym class disasters, and the chaos of teen hood - eventually discovering the thrill of being a rock star in her daughter’s shoes. Meanwhile, Anna fumbles through her mother’s career, social obligations, and the unpredictable lessons of adulthood, gaining a new sense of responsibility and understanding just how complicated grown-up life can be.
Hilarious, heartfelt, and gloriously chaotic, Andrew Gunn’s production is a lesson in empathy, turning a classic story about seeing life from another’s perspective into a fun, chaotic, and unforgettable adventure.
