Critic Reviews

  • David Ansen, Newsweek

    Maybe it's only adults who'll get teary-eyed -- kids just wanna have fun. And they will.

  • Ted Shen, Chicago Reader

    The premise provides a fine showcase for the two appealing actresses, who appropriate each other's vocal and physical mannerisms with dead-on accuracy.

  • , Time Out

    Nothing's really wrong here, but nor are there surprises.

  • Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune

    A likable but flimsy retread that's barely worth the effort.

  • Ty Burr, Boston Globe

    The material here may not be the freshest, but screenwriters Heather Hach and the redoubtable Leslie Dixon have buffed the dialogue until it sparkles like the finest cubic zirconium, and the cast is game from top to bottom.

  • Eric A


    Haven't seen the original, but i'm more than certain this stacks up really well or is probably much better. It's funny and clever and all around fun.

  • Lucas M


    Not so good as the originl version.

  • Jeff "


    Freaky Friday for me is a terrible, unimpressive film that really is a waste of time. Hated this film, and I thought that Jamie Lee Curtis was wasted here. She shouldn't have played in this garbage of a film, and this is one of worst films. I really couldn't get into this… More

    It's aim was to make you laugh, it just made me chuckle under my breath, there was no real fun in it, no laugh out loud moments, but it still gets some respect.
