Freaky Friday (2003)
The wide generation gap between Tess Coleman and her teenage daughter Anna is more than evident. On a Thursday night they have a big argument in a Chinese restaurant. Both receive a fortune cookie each from the restaurant owner's mother which causes them to switch bodies next day. As they adjust with their new personalities, they begin to understand each other more and eventually it's the mutual self-respect that sorts the things out.

This is the rare remake that improves on the original, and is actually a pretty ok young adult flick. The sharper contrast between the mom and daughter (uptight and prim vs. punk rocky) makes their switch more comedically potent, and Mark Waters (who also did Mean Girls) is apparently one of the only directors who can get a competent comedic performance out of Lohan. I mean, I don't want to overstate it - I certainly wasn't laughing my ass off by any means. But it's totally watchable.

Jaime Lee Curtis puts in a stellar performance in this sub-par remake. Lindsey Lohan plays a sub-par Fred Savage.

Chick flick my ass. This is a funny film when Lohan was actually promising as an actress.
