Freaky Friday: Age Without Responsibility
Although this movie had the potential to show both the beauties of youth and age, and demonstrate the struggle every person has making the transition from child to adult, it ended up completely missing the point.
Basically the movie centered around Mom (Jamie Lee Curtis) not understanding daughter (Lindsay Lohan). There is a scene where daughter tells Mom something to the effect of "You could never [be a teenager], you could never be me," when in reality every mother has done that.
Every mother was once a teenager. Just try finding a Mom who never suffered from the pressures caused by test-taking, boyfriends, or catty girls.
The movie would have been much more interesting had it focused on the daughter taking on her Mother's responsibilities and becoming more adult in the process.
Instead she goofed off in her Mother's body, enjoying the freedom of age with out the responsibility, which made for some jokes but not any real quality.
This movie is fine for laughs, but the over all message was not one worth remembering.
