'''''Freaky Friday''''', based on [[Freaky Friday (novel)|a novel by Mary Rodgers]], is a [[Disney]] movie starring [[Jodie Foster]] as a teenage girl, Annabel, who does not get along with her mother, Ellen, to say the least. One Friday the 13th (hence the title), they wish to switch places for one day, causing them to magically trade bodies. [[Hilarity Ensues]], including the now-young mother lusting after her daughter's boyfriend. It eventually transpires that they had subconsciously switched bodies in order to learn [[An Aesop]] about the value of family and friendship.
 
There was also a sequel and two remakes, each less similar to the book than the last. The more famous of the remakes starred [[Lindsay Lohan]] and [[Jamie Lee Curtis]], with a slightly different plot. The daughter and mother in that version are an aspiring guitarist named "Anna" and a widowed psychologist named "Tess," respectively, and they switch bodies after a Chinese restaurant owner's mother hands them some magic fortune cookies. Also has [[NCIS|Mark Harmon]] in it, as Tess' fiance, Ryan.
Line 43 ⟶ 42:
** The 2003 version tries to [[Justified Trope|justify]] the split: Anna reads her fortune from inside a bathroom, while Tess reads hers from outside the door. The wall dividing the rooms also divides the screen.
