Gayle G I enjoyed this version of Freaky Friday. It's not as well known as the others because it was made for TV, but it was good. I thought Shelley Long was funny as a kid in a grownup body. It's not my favorite Freaky Friday, but it was fun. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/21/23 Full Review Steve D There are better versions and the acting is so so, but it still works. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member This made-for-TV movie has Shelly Long as Ellen and Gaby Hoffman (the daughter of Warhol superstar Viva) as Annabelle. A pair of magical amulets causes the two of them to switch bodies in this version and waterskiing has been replaced with diving. Ellen is also a single mother dating Bill (Alan Rosenberg) and designing clothing, which is the 90s version of being a housewife. What livens this up are a great cast with Drew Carey, Sandra Bernhard, Carol Kane and the much missed Taylor Negron. Writer Stu Krieger wrote The Parent Trap II, A Troll in Central Park, Zenon: Girlof the 21st Century and Phantom of the Megaplex while director Melanie Mayron is probably best known for playing Melissa Steadman on Thirtysomething even through she has more than sixty directing credits on her resume. The other big change is that when Annabelle is in Ellen's body, she tells Bill exactly how much she dislikes him, thinking it will push him away. Instead, he proposes. Forgive me for being weird, but…do these characters ever have to make love in these bodies? Because, well, that could be awkward.
