Good, but barely recognisable from the recent re-make
This film has recently been re-made with Jamie Lee Curtis as the mother - but beyond the central concept (teenage daughter and mother swap bodies for a day) the films could be completely unrelated.

The differences are very much to do with the 26 years that have elapsed. In this original, the 13-year-old Jodie Foster, gawky and with braces, is delighted to have her mothers grown-up sexy body, and sets about using it to attract the boy next door; in contrast the new film, in today's youth-obsessed culture, has the (slightly older) daughter aghast ('I'm old!! I look like the Crypt Keeper!!!') at the aged body she's acquired.

Still, the original film stands up well as a piece of light entertainment, and the comedy of the situation was as good then as it is now.

The best Freaky Friday
This 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.
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'scomedy
It 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 it
This 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 out
This 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.
Switching roles has made a great comdey and Disney adds thier own magic and combined make a great film.
