Neil Norman London Evening Standard The original made a fairly dire comedy. This version is much better, thanks largely to a sharper script and the performances of Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan. Jan 11, 2018 Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media Mother-daughter switch is fun comedic chaos. Rated: 4/5 Dec 24, 2010 Full Review David Ansen Newsweek Maybe it's only adults who'll get teary-eyed -- kids just wanna have fun. And they will. Aug 18, 2008 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Pathos and levity are pulled with ease from both subtle moments and outrageously awkward ones, offering a dash of real magic alongside the illusory kind. Rated: 7/10 Aug 23, 2025 Full Review John Stark Mac the Movie Guy I’d take this to a desert island with me. Freaky Friday is cinematic comfort food, with a familiarity that plays like your favorite meal, and performances from Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan that make them feel like family. Rated: 91/100 Aug 12, 2025 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Curtis is in top form here, yet she’s matched all the way by Lohan. Rated: 3/4 Aug 11, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
