I usually wouldn't review a movie like this, but I felt that the current rating of 6.2 does not do this movie justice. At the risk of repeating what others here have said, the acting of mother and daughter in the movie was spot-on. The comedy was very well done. The movie strikes the right emotional tone and is very touching, and is very effective at demonstrating the importance of perspective. My favorite scene is the one with the guitar; I always find that very powerful.

Disney bet and well as the result is quite interesting and far from being only a commercial and entertaining film because although it has those American and commercial touches the film encloses a background that goes beyond simple history. With a few good touches, Ponte in my place presents the story of a mother and daughter faced and misunderstood, both face without understanding each other living in a continuous conflict. With a touch of witchcraft the film presents the vision of two different stages of life, adolescence and personal maturity, worlds very different and often very misunderstood among them but put in my place presents them in a light and funny way with some Really funny and funny touches. The performances are very correct on the part of the mother and daughter, sometimes the family environment is a bit artificial but it is true that we are talking about a family comedy that is also to be seen a little further from the basic text as we see as many times Maturity forgets what is lived only once, the adolescence and that actually comprises a very short period if one comes to compare with personal maturity. The film invites to have a good time besides a deep reflection between the two stages of the man.

This is one of those movies that had bad timing when it came to its release. An overworked mother and her daughter do not get along. When they switch bodies, each is forced to adapt to the others life for one freaky Friday. I thought this was cute and not bad. All of the fancy characters struggle against a system that has perpetuated falsehoods. From an artistic standpoint, there were some plot elements and character developments I didn't think were totally needed. They do however drive the story, which seemed to be their purpose, so I can accept them. I am not saying the film is a classic, but it was good enough.

Tess Coleman (Jamie Lee Curtis) can't seem to get along with her teenage daughter Anna (Lindsay Lohan). Tess is a therapist getting married to Ryan (Mark Harmon). Anna's life in school isn't going that well. Stacey (Julie Gonzalo) is picking on her. School hunk Jake (Chad Michael Murray) doesn't know she exists. She keeps getting detention. Then Jake talks to her. Her band has an audition but it's her mother's wedding rehearsal. They get into a big fight at the Chinese restaurant and magic fortune cookies set them switching bodies.As a Disney teen movie, it's relatively harmless. It's better than most. Lindsay Lohan is good at playing the teen at this point and it's a good start to her high school roles. It's easier for her to play more uptight during the switch. Jamie Lee Curtis is great at being childish. She has the tougher job. The great thing is that both actresses do credible jobs both before and after the switch. The story isn't that special. It's a pretty straight forward body switch.
