With incredible performances from Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan, Freaky Friday is cringe comedy at its best.

Tess Coleman (Curtis) and her daughter Anna (Lohan) don’t get along. Tess is about to get married and Anna has an important audition with her band. When a fortune cookie makes them switch bodies, they must live life as the other until they can reconnect.

Once the switch happens, both lead actresses are fantastic in their new ages. Curtis brilliantly embodies a teenager on the brink of her first romance, while Lohan feels all the stress of being a good mother, fiancé and therapist. Their issues being each other will have you covering your eyes as you laugh out loud.

Mark Harmon and Chad Michael Murray both play great love interests interacting with the wrong person.

Final say: The ultimate. ★★★★★
