A delightful comedy that is all about the main acting tandem and their scenes together, full of funny moments and obvious improvisations. Jamie Lee Curtis, in particular, blows the others away and I wouldn't be afraid to call her performance legendary. There's not much point in assessing the story – there's exactly what's needed for no shortage of cracking moments and hilarious gags.

Ich traue meinen Augen nicht. Hollywood ist immer noch in der Lage, eine frische, schlaue, geschmackvolle und schöne Komödie zu produzieren. Eine sehr seltene Art des US-amerikanischen Vergnügens, die zu hundert Prozent das Potenzial des Stoffes nutzt, der eigentlich gar nicht originell ist. Nicht so psychologisch wie Besser geht's nicht, aber genauso intelligent und noch unterhaltsamer. Die Mädels sind einfach herrlich.

An intelligent, tasteful, family and, mainly, very funny comedy from Disney with decent pacing... Impossible? Not at all; all you need it a good idea involving swapping bodies, actors with a talent for comedy and a director with a feeling for gags. Jamie Lee Curtis easily lords over this picture, proving yet again that she has excellent comic timing and Lindsay Lohan is skillfully plays support. It is very clear that both of them enjoy themselves royally and carry the movie on their shoulders even during weaker interludes. If they had cast it any differently, I don’t believe this could have been even half as good. It’s true that all the jokes are the result of variations on one theme, but who cares? The movie has one downside: the first twenty minutes leading up to the swap isn’t up to the quality of the rest of the picture, so you just have to grin and bear that.

A pleasantly wacky comedy about the relationship between a mother and daughter who swap bodies after visiting a Chinese restaurant. The idea is brilliant and it makes for a number of funny and offbeat situations. I had fun. 75%.

A pretty original idea that was put in the right hands. Above standard performances from both leads and lots of really funny lines and scenes. One of the most successful comedies of all time. Just sit back and enjoy... 4.5 stars.

It's actually a tragedy when one realizes that the theme is perfectly exhausted and neither the script nor the direction are exceptional if we subject the film to a thorough analysis. However, it scores points by maintaining a certain level, not using toilet humor, and not pandering cheaply. If this were the genre average, then American cinema would stand very high. The likable and experienced female cast delivers the maximum of their potential, resulting in a pleasant situational comedy with a reasonable duration. Overall impression: 70%.

A very enjoyable comedy with two great actresses. There’s plenty of fun and the script is simply wonderful.

A very pleasant surprise. Both lead actresses give truly great performances that are a joy to watch, especially Jamie Lee Curtis, who steals the whole film for herself and is irresistible in the body of her teenage daughter. Surprisingly, they don’t stick only to the original premise, but everything is also supported by a precise script and a good dose of serious humour, which the filmmakers don't spare. Don’t look for any intellectual or emotional levels in it, Freaky Friday doesn't have that despite its efforts, just have a good and inoffensive time. 80%

"I'm like the crypt keeper!." This line got me the first time I watched it on TV, and it got me again the second time when I returned to the film. Actually, the whole movie got me. The ending surprisingly isn't as cheap as it might seem at first glance, but it's well-constructed and gradually leads up to it. The characters aren't flat and boring. Moreover, Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan fit perfectly together. An excellent film, one that I'm happy to watch again. Plus, it's funny.
