Plot:
In the tradition of 'The Princess Diaries', Disney's 'Freaky Friday' is the extremely funny and heartwarming comedy everyone will love. Dr. Tess Coleman (the hilarious Jamie Lee Curtis) and her teenage daughter Anna (rockin' Lindsay Lohan) have one thing in common - they don't relate to each other on anything. Not clothes or men or Anna's passion to be in a rock band. Nothing. Then one night a little mystic mayhem changes their lives and they wake up to the biggest freak-out ever. Tess and Anna are trapped inside each other's body! But Tess's wedding is Saturday, and the two must find a way to switch back - fast! Literally forced to walk in each other's shoes, will they gain respect and understanding for the other's point of view? Filled with comedy, rock 'n' roll and lots of heart, 'Freaky Friday' is freaking fun everyone can enjoy together.

A great body-switch movie. In the beginning it is an okay movie, but after the switch took place the movie is real fun. Both actresses do a great job portraying the other self. And there are some real funny reactions by both of them.

My Thoughts:
This is another movie from the Mortuary of Madness box set I got this past October. I went into this one with caution.... for two reasons. First it is in a box set of very low budget movies. Second it is a low budget film that is 2hrs. 30min. long! And that is a long time to sit through a low budget horror film. The picture quality of this movie is surprisingly good for such a cheap low budget boxset. As is the Audio. The story is interesting... but SLOW! Unfortunately every time it started to get good they decided to change the subject... going to another diary and such. I think the main thing that goes against this movie is the length. And the fact that they seemed to want to concentrate more on the dramatic story telling over the horror of the story.Which after a while got tiresome. So once again... I think the length of this movie is what hurt this movie more then anything else. They could have easily cut this movie in half... and we would have had a right good low budget modern telling of the story.

Guest Stars:

My Thoughts:
I loved how this one began... I really got a kick out of how Illyria saved Gunn from the Hell Dimension. But over-all while a decent episode... it is not one I cared too much for.
