Reviews

Variety - Joe Leydon
Genuinely clever switched-identities romp.

Los Angeles Times - Manohla Dargis
Turning ordinary life into movie magic is one of the most difficult, least-heralded challenges for any filmmaker. What makes Freaky Friday a charmer isn't how far-out things get for this mother and daughter, but how sweet and distinctly un-freaky a kid, her mom and their love for each other can be.

USA Today - Claudia Puig
It all adds up to belly laughs aplenty and a rollicking good time.

Christian Science Monitor - David Sterritt
Deliciously acted and good-humored to its core, it's one of the summer's very best surprises.

L.A. Weekly - Ella Taylor
Waters directing, from a perky script by Heather Hach and Leslie Dixon, is bouncy and assured enough to give a cheeky lilt to what otherwise might have been an earnest PSA for intergenerational peace, love and understanding.
