Freaky Friday.

Understanding starts in someone else's shoes.

An arguing mother and teenage daughter wake up in each other's bodies. Tess and Anna must navigate school, work, music and an approaching wedding while discovering how little they understood about the other's day.

Why it’s a little special

Two lively performances make the body swap more than a string of disguises. The comedy opens an approachable conversation about listening before judging.

BEFORE YOU PRESS PLAY

Know the story.
Know your little people.

PG
Parental guidance suggested

US film rating

Bereavement, parent-child conflict, bullying and mild language. Romantic misunderstandings arise from the body swap, and the magical restaurant scene uses cultural stereotypes.

Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
