Freaky Friday (2003), starring Jamie Lee Curtis, Lindsay Lohan. Some will say this movie's target audience is tween girls and their mothers, but I found it charming, disarming and funny. True, it's completely implausible, but who cares? It's a fantasy.
It's a remake of the 1977 film starring Jodie Foster, and it does a good job of updating the story about a mother and daughter who "magically" switch bodies for a day. The stars, Curtis and Lohan, both deliver pitch-perfect performances as they juggle their magical, switched identities and their "real" identities.
The bottom line? I've seen this movie twice, once in theater and once on DVD, and both times it left me feeling entertained and feeling good.
Grade: A-
