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.

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.

FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

My five-year-old daughter and ten-year-old son both loved this, as did I. I still do, many dvd viewings later.

I think this is okay for older teens. Anna isn't a good role model for younger kids.

This was a great movie. Kids and adults will both love it!

FREAKY FRIDAY was a great funny movie. I haven't seen a better performance from Jamie Lee Curtis in years. Sex- 4: I know you're probably thinking why did I give a "CAUTION" on sex, but I found there were some sexual references but not anywhere near explicit. Nudity-1: A brief shot of Jamie Lee Curtis in a thong. Violence-0 Drug Use-0 Language-4: Some brief moments of language. Diversity/Racism-2: Over-stereotyped Asian character Scariness- 0 Commercialism- 0 Rude Humor- 0 My Rating: PG for some language/sexual references and thematic elements

Thanks to help from CSM rating, I dared to take my 7 year old boy. He had no problem following the identity switch and was delighted with the ensuing action. I had many a good laugh and so did all age groups seated around us. Everyone should see this, but especially moms and daughters. How can I express my gratitude for a clever and entertaining movie I can actually enjoy with my kid and recommend to others without hesitation? Kudos to the makers of this film-- we want more like it! I agree with the PG rating for language, but it is mild and no worse than the (uncalled for!) potty humor in Finding Nemo.

Went to see this opening afternoon with my 12 year old. We both laughed until we cried and then laughed more. This movie is wonderful! Jamie Lee Curtis is wonderful in the whole movie, she steals the show when she is supposed to be the daughter trapped in mom's body, way funny. Lindsay Lohan shines as the parent in daughter's body, she hits a few snags playing the teen at the beginning and then hits her stride as "mom." What could of been ackward moments in the movie where mom's boyfriend tries to kiss a trapped daughter are handled with comedy and therefore made acceptable to viewers old and young. The reason for saying 8 and up is having to explain certain aspects of the comedy to very young children who may be confused by the body switching. Definitely take the kids for this wild and wonderful remake!

i didn't really like it. just wasn't funny. loved it when i was little.

i didn't really like it. just wasn't funny. loved it when i was little.

This movie is quite fun with solid performances from the leads.

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.

i loved this movie it was funny for daughters and mom hope U love it too

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.

a few body part comments when they first swich bodys but other than that its ok for a 7 year old that can hadly mild mild languge

Very Funny

I love this movie definately one of Lindsey Lohans best. Great family movie too.

This is great movie. I loved it . It is a child's dream to switch places with one of their parents. (preferably mom) but even my 3 year old sister watched it. It was GREAT!!!!!

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!

I like this movie a lot. I would like trading places with my mom i think it would be so mutch fun for my mom know how is to be now in school and to know how bad are my classmates. And me to byu things with visa.

This Movie Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a lot of fun watching this on my birthday so I bought it. A few bad words but it could fly over a kid's head or say "oooo no that movie said a bad word, plug your ears."

Worth it.

This is a funny movie with a good message about how you might not really understand other people, but when you realize what it's like to be in their shoes you can really get a good look at what it's like to be them.

This movie really shows the daughter that their mom's lives aren't prefect and the mom that the kid doesn't make their life look hard, it just is. Any kid will enjoy this movie ages 5-13. Enjoy!
