Psychiatrist Tess (Jamie Lee Curtis, looking a little like John Lithgow in drag) butts heads with her rocker teen daughter Annabell (Lindsay Lohan, looking a little like Frankie Muniz in drag), eventually literally so after one of those mystical Chinese people gives them a joo-joo fortune cookie that forces them to switch personalities. Hilarity threatens to ensue as Tess' type-A micro-management facilities and Annabell's 'tween angst are employed respectively to the problems of neurotic clients and psychotic high school teachers, Tess and Annabell each, predictably, handling the other's problems with insouciant grace while developing a healthy appreciation for one another's life-plights. Freaky Friday isn't so much a step down from its predecessor as it is a step sideways, substituting a few new things for a few commensurate old things with some sort of arcane conversion table for pop culture garbage. Comforting in the way of things that are extremely familiar, there's nothing to say to dissuade the audience primed to attend--and doing so would be without merit in any case: Freaky Friday is completely satisfying, entirely unsurprising, and says all there is to say about itself by the fact of itself. For the record, Freaky Friday, while contemporarily the equal of the original, happens to be better than Vice Versa, Like Father, Like Son, and 18 Again.-Walter Chaw
