Freaky Friday (2003)

How many times have you heard someone mutter about walking a mile in my/yours/their shoes? Or some chatter about walking in their footsteps? Or how about some other homily about reserving judgement until you’ve done what I do? There are a host of them and all merit consideration since it is easy to criticize until you’ve tried doing what’s being verbally poked at. Just ask Tess (Jamie Lee Curtis) and 15-year-old Anna Coleman (Lindsay Lohan), a bickering mother and daughter who can’t seem to see eye-to-eye on anything. While Tess is getting grief over her impending marriage to the very understanding and patient Ryan (Mark Harmon), Anna is frustrated that her mother doesn’t understand what is going on with her school life nor does she support her aspirations as a musician. During dinner at their favourite restaurant, their waitress (Lucille Soong) presses them to take two magical fortune cookies. Tess and Anna are horrified to wake up on Friday morning stuck in each other’s bodies with no idea how to reverse the spell. Both have no choice but to go through the day living the other person’s life.
