Veuve sur le point de se remarier, le Dr. Tess Coleman et sa fille de quinze ans, Anna, ne s'entendent pas. Elles n'ont aucun goût en commun, que ce soit en matière de vêtements, de coiffure, de musique, et encore moins en ce qui concerne les hommes... Un jeudi soir, leur rancoeur éclate. Anna est furieuse que sa mère ne supporte pas sa musique et Tess ne comprend définitivement pas pourquoi sa fille refuse de donner la moindre chance à son fiancé. Deux biscuits chinois du bonheur vont tout compliquer en créant un choc mystique... Le lendemain matin, Tess et Anna se retrouvent dans le corps l'une de l'autre. Elles vont ainsi expérimenter le point de vue de celle qu'elles désapprouvaient et se redécouvrir. Mais le mariage de Tess est prévu pour le samedi, et il va leur falloir trouver très vite un moyen de réintégrer leurs corps respectifs... (texte officiel du distributeur)

Je ne crois pas mes propres yeux. Hollywood est encore capable de produire une comédie fraîche, intelligente, de bon goût et charmante de bout en bout. Un genre très rare de divertissement américain qui exploite à cent pour cent le potentiel de son sujet (pas du tout original). Pas aussi psychologique que As Good as it Gets, mais encore plus amusante avec le même degré d'intelligence. Et ces filles sont tout simplement divines.

A very pleasant surprise. Both lead actresses give truly great performances that are a joy to watch, especially Jamie Lee Curtis, who steals the whole film for herself and is irresistible in the body of her teenage daughter. Surprisingly, they don’t stick only to the original premise, but everything is also supported by a precise script and a good dose of serious humour, which the filmmakers don't spare. Don’t look for any intellectual or emotional levels in it, Freaky Friday doesn't have that despite its efforts, just have a good and inoffensive time. 80%

An intelligent, tasteful, family and, mainly, very funny comedy from Disney with decent pacing... Impossible? Not at all; all you need it a good idea involving swapping bodies, actors with a talent for comedy and a director with a feeling for gags. Jamie Lee Curtis easily lords over this picture, proving yet again that she has excellent comic timing and Lindsay Lohan is skillfully plays support. It is very clear that both of them enjoy themselves royally and carry the movie on their shoulders even during weaker interludes. If they had cast it any differently, I don’t believe this could have been even half as good. It’s true that all the jokes are the result of variations on one theme, but who cares? The movie has one downside: the first twenty minutes leading up to the swap isn’t up to the quality of the rest of the picture, so you just have to grin and bear that.

A delightful comedy that is all about the main acting tandem and their scenes together, full of funny moments and obvious improvisations. Jamie Lee Curtis, in particular, blows the others away and I wouldn't be afraid to call her performance legendary. There's not much point in assessing the story – there's exactly what's needed for no shortage of cracking moments and hilarious gags.

It's actually a tragedy when one realizes that the theme is perfectly exhausted and neither the script nor the direction are exceptional if we subject the film to a thorough analysis. However, it scores by maintaining a certain level, not using toilet humor, and not pandering cheaply. If this were the genre average, then American cinema would stand very high. The likable and experienced female cast delivers the maximum of their potential, resulting in a pleasant situational comedy with a reasonable duration. Overall impression: 70%.
