Freaky Friday

Freaky Friday
Comedy
4/5


PLOT: Freaky Friday is about mainly two people a mom and her daughter
Tess Coleman played by Jamie Lee Curtis and Anna Coleman played by Lindsay Lohan
Who are the typical mom and teenaged daughter who fight about everything and Anna always thinks her mom doesn’t get her and that her mom is ruining her life.
And one night Anna and her band get a opportunity to play with there band at a audition called the wango tango but it just happens to be the same night as her moms wedding rehearsal .She says to her band mates she will talk to her mom.
Later that night her family goes to dinner at a Chinese restaurant that they go to a lot.
She tried to talk to her mom about it when they start fighting, then a old lady offers them a fortune cookie they take it and open it and the fortune inside is that they have to live each others life until they learn to get along. Then for three days they got to live as the other one and go though challenges then Friday comes witch is the moms wedding rehearsal and the audition and they lean that they can do both at the same time and that night they switch back to themselves.

ACTING: The acting in this movie is hard because they had to be two people not only the daughter but the mother too. Not only did Jamie and Lindsay do a good job but they pulled it off very well. I think they did well at this because Jamie Lee Curtis has done a lot of different roles before and Lindsay Lohan has played a twin before when she was younger in the movie “The Parent Trap” together they worked well in this movie to make it a funny good movie to watch.

SPECIAL EFFECTS/ CINEMATOGRAPHY: This movie doesn’t have a lot of special effects. But the shot angles are medium and wide shots which work good in this movie, There was not that much music but when there was the music made the scene better and it made me realize that music is what makes a movie a movie.

FINAL COMMENTS: This movie was all over good but the acting could have been better in the characters that are not as big, And this movie is a remake of the 1976 version of Freaky Friday and maybe because I watched both I think that with almost all movies the first is usually better and this was no different but I enjoyed it and it’s a good “girl” movie to watch .
