stormhawk2018 Disney bet and well as the result is quite interesting and far from being only a commercial and entertaining film because although it has those American and commercial touches the film encloses a background that goes beyond simple history. With a few good touches, Ponte in my place presents the story of a mother and daughter faced and misunderstood, both face without understanding each other living in a continuous conflict. With a touch of witchcraft the film presents the vision of two different stages of life, adolescence and personal maturity, worlds very different and often very misunderstood among them but put in my place presents them in a light and funny way with some Really funny and funny touches. The performances are very correct on the part of the mother and daughter, sometimes the family environment is a bit artificial but it is true that we are talking about a family comedy that is also to be seen a little further from the basic text as we see as many times Maturity forgets what is lived only once, the adolescence and that actually comprises a very short period if one comes to compare with personal maturity. The film invites to have a good time besides a deep reflection between the two stages of the man.
Python Hyena Freaky Friday (2003): Dir: Mark Waters / Cast: Lindsay Lohan, Jamie Lee Curtis, Mark Harmon, Harold Gould, Chad Michael Murray: I am not sure why the emphasis is on Friday since it is the dawn of the weekend. Promising remake faltered by cheap sets and simple plotting. Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan play a mother and daughter duo whose bodies are switched due to a lame fortune cookie mishap. Curtis plays a psychiatrist who just completed a successful book. Lohan plays her rebellious daughter who plays in a band and serves detention often at school. They devour fortune cookies at a Chinese restaurant while in the midst of bickering and they switch bodies. This is totally lame in its earthquake effect. Directed by Mark Waters who had already made the embarrassing Head Over Heels. This is not much of an improvement given the fact that Curtis and Lohan actually pull off convincing portrayal, but they are trapped in a formula driven showcase that is beneath them. Mark Harmon is wasted as Curtis's fiancé, and the women at the Chinese restaurant are lame. Harold Gould makes a wasted appearance as grandpa. Chad Michael Murray plays the boyfriend whom mother disapproves of. Remake that toys with one's speech and habits while also addressing age, responsibility and parental role models. Unfortunately it is a remake that is hardly freaky on any given day. Score: 3 / 10
angelbabylolo Tess Coleman (Jamie Lee Curtis) is a widowed mother with a daughter, and they don't exactly see eye to eye. Tess is engaged and soon to be married, but Anna (Lindsey Lohan) isn't very thrilled about it. The family goes out to a Chinese restaurant where Anna and Tess each receive a fortune cookie. This fortune cookie curses them into each other's bodies. Anna is in a high school band that plays in her basement, until they found the chance to play at a local club called the House of Blues. This opportunity is the same night as Tess's wedding rehearsal. In order to have the curse reversed, both of them must learn how to be selfless. At the event, Tess is in Anna's body as she performs at the House of Blues. This was a small step to fixing everything. Then when they get back to the wedding rehearsal, Anna delivers a touching speech to her mom letting her know how happy she is for her, and even though she misses her dad; she is willing to make room for someone new. But was this enough to break the curse?The message director Mark Waters was trying to portray was that in order to understand someone, another must walk a mile in their shoes. Tess and Anna fought all the time and didn't ever take the time to talk. However, once they walked in each other's shoes, they learned that the other's lives weren't as perfect as they assumed. This would be a message to any kind of relationship. In order to have a great relationship, people must learn to listen and understand to what others are feeling or thinking. This movie was very entertaining and touching. Many teenage girls can relate to fighting with their mothers like this. It doesn't matter what kind of family they come from, they are all the same. They really show how a mother and daughter's relationship can grow by putting them in different environments where the characters must step out of their comfort zone. The sense of fashion is completely different, as well, and I believe it really helps the audience to connect with the characters. While the comedy is amusing to watch and to hear, I believe the message is just as important. The director,writers, and actors did an amazing job with making a movie that would touch the audience's hearts.
Rick Shur There is such chemistry between Lohan and Curtis that I was sucked into this fantasy lock, stock and barrel. The two divas do not miss a trick when it comes time to convince us that they are indeed the other person trapped in a new body. Curtis winces, sashays, smirks, wails and gasps like a teenager, and Lohan captures every nuance of a beleaguered middle-aged professional struggling to maintain control In a situation that defies her every attempt to cover up one wacky trap after another. She has to let her daughter, who now inhabits her body, represent her as a psychotherapist, both in the office and on a TV talk show to discuss her book. The results are always hilarious, with Curtis acting exactly like a teenager attempting to navigate through session after session with her Mom's nutty patients. Equally wacky are the scenes of Lohan, with her mother's uptight personality trying to fit in as a high school student deflecting the amorous advances of Jake, the daughter's motorcycle-riding stud boyfriend. Underneath all these hijinks is the serious part of this, and every, switch movie, the journey that mother and daughter take that gives each a firsthand understanding of what makes the other tick. I'm a 58-year-old guy, not a fan of most chick flicks, funny or otherwise, but I was crying like a kid when Curtis and Lohan finally "got" each other and reached a point of mutual admiration and love that, unfortunately, seems to be possible only in movies. That's why they make them, why we see them, and why we are grateful when one of them turns out to be a timeless classic, like Freaky Friday.
