MY OPINION
I really enjoyed this film, I have seen it numerous times before and I never seem to tire. Both Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis show off tremendous acting skills in this heartwarming and humerous comedy. Lohan shows maturity whilst playing her mother, whilst Curtis shows off her acting talents to produce a truly believable and humorous teenager. I have not seen the original so I cannot compare them. This film provides a laugh a minute and is quick paced and you are not left bored for a moment. Absolutely brilliant and well worth a try-regardless of age!

Summary: Worth Watching for all!
