What Parents Need to Know
About Freaky Friday
Parents need to know that kids use rude schoolyard words ("sucks," "blows," etc.). Anna wants to get the side of her ear pierced, and when she is in her mother's body, she does. There is some kissing (the ew-factor of Ryan's wanting to kiss Tess, not knowing that Anna is occupying her body, is handled with some delicacy). There are some tense family scenes and the movie deals with issues of parental control and teen rebellion.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about why it is hard for Tess and Anna to understand each other at the beginning of the movie. If the parents and children in your family switched places, what would be the biggest surprises? Families may also want to discuss some of the choices Tess and Anna make, especially the resolution of Anna's problems with her English teacher and the honors exam. And it might be nice to compare this to the original movie, in which the mother is a full-time mom in a two-parent household, and the daughter's challenges center around housework.

Fun, Funny, and Sometimes Genuinely Touching...
FREAKY FRIDAY is a studio's nightmare. The sucess of the movie rides completely on the strength of the two main performances. The script and direction mean nothing if those two actors aren't cast perfectly. Lucky for us, they were. Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsey Lohan are perfect in this movie, believable and very funny. Also, there's little objectionable material. There is no language, only some crude terms like "sucks" and one use of "h*ll" ("makeover from h*ll"). There are some mild, harmless innuendos that will go over kids' heads, like when Mark Harmon's character causes Curtis to trip over a couch, and her dad says "save it for the honeymoon". No violence, drugs, or negative role models. Quite the contrary, actually. While both mother and daughter act immaturely to begin with, they each act out of love towards the end.

Better than the book.
Finnaly, a girl movie that I could watch. The body switching made for a very interesting and funny adventure. If only all girl movies were this good.

Awesome!
OMG I loved it! The only bad thing would be that Anna always tells her mother that she's "ruining my life" so it's a good opportunuty for parents to make stupid jokes. But that's it.

Lohan and Curtis provide loads of laughs in cute family comedy
Sexual Content (Not an Issue): Some passionate kissing, mild references to sex. Violence (Not an Issue): Some comic violence. Language (Pause): Three uses of "hell", plus obnoxious schoolyard language ("blows", "sucks", "old fart", etc.) Social Behavior (On): Anna and Tess learn to be selfless. Strong female characters. Commercialism (Not an Issue): The House of Blues. Drug/Alcohol/Tobacco (Pause): Some social drinking.

Laugh Out Loud Fun!
You have to see this movie at least 3 times to catch all the jokes. There are small jokes slipped inside that make you laugh out loud! There is a guy that show's an autograph on his bare rear. And the movie swears quite often. But this is definitely a better Disney movie!

Disrespectful teen flick
I must say I did not enjoy this movie or the way the mother and daughter interacted much of the time. Once again, not worth it enough for me to sit through the whole thing.
