✳ JUST FOR LAUGHS
Freaky Friday.
One impossible Friday. Two new perspectives.
Teenager Annabel and her mother each wish they could live the other's supposedly easier life. Their sudden body swap sends both through a chaotic day of school, household duties and unexpected public responsibilities.
Watch the official trailer ↗Why it’s a little special
A playful time capsule of family comedy, with Jodie Foster and Barbara Harris trading mannerisms. Comparing it with the later version can be part of the fun.
BEFORE YOU PRESS PLAY
Know the story.
Know your little people.
Unsafe driving, water-skiing danger, smoking and comic arguments. Gender roles and assumptions about housework and parenting strongly reflect the film's era.
Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
