A high-strung mom and her punky daughter learn what it's like to walk in each other's shoes — literally — in Disney's second update of their 1977 teen fantasy comedy. The new Freaky Friday has disgruntled teen Anna Coleman ( Lindsay Lohan ) living, sans father, with her uptight therapist-author mom Tess ( Jamie Lee Curtis ) and bratty brother Harry ( Ryan Malgarini ). The angst between the two reaches a fever pitch on the eve of Tess' wedding rehearsal: Anna wants to ditch the proceedings for an all-important band audition, but Tess sees the conflict as a show of resentment toward imminent step-dad Ryan ( Mark Harmon ). When the whole clan goes out to dinner at their favorite Chinese restaurant, their sage waitress ( Lucille Soong ) picks up on the tension between the mother and daughter and casts a spell on them via two magic fortune cookies. The next day, Tess and Anna must put up with life in each other's bodies — until, as the fortune says, they can come to a greater understanding of one another. Freaky Friday was previously remade for TV in 1995 with Shelley Long and Gaby Hoffman in the leads. — Michael Hastings
