Still A ClassicWalt Disney might have decided to revamp this movie, with Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan, but this is the real deal, Jodie Foster as Annabel, a bright young girl who is finding it hard to deal with braces and school life; and Barbara Harris, as beautiful Mrs Andrews; who heads the household.
br /
br /When Annabel and Mrs Andrews have an argument - they say out loud they wish they were each other, and low and behold, Annabel ends up being her mother, and visa versa. This really freaks young Annabel out, but she soon realises how difficult it is to be a housewife, and Mrs Andrews soon realises how hard it is to be a teen in the 70s.
br /
br /This is much better than the remake, and is good fun. Jodie is excellent as Annabel, and the rest of the cast do a fine job. I really enjoyed the final scene with all the action, but the lead up to it all really is good fun. I like the way they made this - to remind both parties they both don't have an easy life and that things can be difficult at times.
br /
br /Definitely worth renting.

The best Freaky FridayThis was on British telly on Good Friday 1987, I remember it so well because it was, and remains to be, one of my all time favourite films.
br /Not 100% faithful to the Mary Rodgers book but great stuff all the same. This is a true Disney Classic. If you enjoyed the Lindsey Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis version, you must see this too! And look out for Boris from the 1977 version making an appearance int he later one!

Nice 70'scomedyIt centers on a mother Ellen (Barbara Harris) and her teenage daughter Annabelle (Jodie Foster), a squabbling pair who never see eye to eye and spend their days either - when they're together, they're bickering about the most stupidest things and when they're with a friend or other member of the family they're bitching about each other! Only one day, the two say `I wish I could switch places with her, for just one day' and so that happens they're minds swap!

Love it, love it, love itThis is one of my all time favourite movies. I think Barbara Harris plays the role of a teenage daughter brilliantly and she looks beautiful. I could (and do!) watch this film again and again.

Disney freaks outThis film has been re-made but I think the classic is a lot better than the later version the comdey does start almost straight away.
br /Switching roles has made a great comdey and Disney adds thier own magic and combined make a great film.
