Freaky Friday (DVD)

Yesterday, whilst very bored, I sat flicking through the television channels for something decent to watch. As is always the case in England on a bank holiday, there was absolutely nothing, even on the hundred and something channels we receive through Sky. I did see that BBC were showing the movie Freaky Friday, but to be honest it didn't appeal to me. However, there was nothing on so I left it on and sat there expecting a dire 90 minutes. But do you know what? I was left quite pleasantly surprised! Freaky Friday is actually a remake of a the 1976 version of the movie which starred a very young Jodie Foster and someone called Barbara Harris. The modern version ...  Read the complete review

This is such a fun movie to watch, especially on a particular occasion like Mother's Day! Released in 2003, it is based both on the novel by the same name and the original freaky Friday of 1976. I personally believe that this is one of the best teenage comedies ever, even if it is more than suitable for an adult audience alike! What I liked about this particular movie was the realistic ream which was blended with the supernatural; hence developing quite an original dimension and thematic features in the movie. The plot is simple: A rebellious teenager and her overworked mother are often at their wits' ends with each other. Until the day when strange ...  Read the complete review

When a restaurant owner's daughter chants a 'spell' during a dinner evening out, neither of them think anything of it......until they wake up ...  Read the complete review

While I absolutely loved the original Freaky Friday movie that Jodie Foster starred in, I beyond loved this new Freaky Friday movie that starred by Lindsey Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis. I think I have to say that this movie was even better than it's predecessor. I probably liked it better because it put a more modern spin on the movie and the boy involved, Chad Michael Murray, is one of my favorite actors, due to his hunky looks. I loved the changes they made to this already fantastic flick. This is a movie that the whole family will love. The story is about a high strung mother Tess Coleman, played by Jamie Lee Curtis and her rock 'n' roll daughter, Anna, ...  Read the complete review
