History Film / FreakyFriday2003

* WeUsedToBeFriends: Tess (in Anna's body) invokes this when she confronts Stacy when she reminds her of [[NostalgiaFilter all the good times she and Anna used to have]]. [[spoiler: As it turns out, [[ThenLetMeBeEvil those memories mean nothing to Stacy]].]]

* TheSociopath: Stacy Hinkhouse. It's apparent that being a full-blown psychopath and bullying Anna is so much more fun for her and is glad to stop being friends with Anna

--> '''Mr. Bates''': Well, [[CriticalResearchFailure in the words of Hamlet]], "What's done is done."

* PrecisionFStrike: Ryan says "what the hell" ''twice''; first when calling out Anna-as-Tess for making him out to be a bad guy, and again when he asks a freshly switched-back Tess about the earthquake that just occurred.

* DrivesLikeCrazy: Anna

* MakeoverMontage[=/=]ShoppingMontage: Anna goes on a shopping spree while in her mother's body.

* StacysMom: Played With. Jake's crush on Tess...but she's actually Anna, who reciprocates his feeling, but does not (because she cannot) start a relationship with him. The real Tess does not have romantic feelings for him.

* CassandraTruth: At first, Tess doesn't believe that Anna's teacher, Tess's former childhood friend, is exacting his revenge on Anna - until she finds out for herself, while in Anna's body.

* GrowingUpSucks: Played with. Anna initially assumes that adulthood has way fewer problems than high school. She learns otherwise after the switch. However, Tess also learns that High School for Anna is not as easy as Tess remembers it either.

* EvilIsPetty: [[spoiler: It turns out that the reason why Anna’s SadisticTeacher always puts her down and punishes her, even when she gives him the correct answer, is because Anna’s mother rejected him back in high school. Even Tess (inside Anna’s body) tells him that his revenge is petty, and she proceeds to call him out and threaten him to stop or she’ll report him to the school]].

--> '''r. Bates''': I think that would be fairy pointless, but go ahead.

* EvilIsPetty: [[spoiler: It turns out that the reason why Anna’s SadisticTeacher always puts her down and punishes her even when she gives him the correct answer, is because Anna’s mother rejected him back in the high school. Even Tess (inside Anna’s body) tells him that his revenge is petty, and she proceeds to call him out and to threat him to stop it or she’ll report to the school]].

* HereWeGoAgain: Pei Pei's mother gives Anna's brother and grandfather the ''same'' fortune cookies when they started arguing. Luckily Pei-Pei was able to retrieve the fortune cookies before they open them.

* HereWeGoAgain: Defied. When the Chinese restaurant owner stops Anna's brother and grandfather from opening the fortune cookies her mother gave ''them'' at Tess' and Ryan's wedding reception.

* NotSoDifferent: Tess and Anna throughout the course of the film discover this. Both think the other's life is easy, both realize that it's ''not'' and understand the other's point of view. As noted above, each woman is hostile towards a man the other likes - only to discover their respective HiddenDepths.

The day before Tess is supposed to remarry, she and Anna switch bodies after a Chinese restaurant owner's mother hands them some magic fortune cookies. HilarityEnsues, with the now-young mother struggling to survive high school ''again'', and the now-old daughter trying to cluelessly deal with psychiatric duties.

* ManIFeelLikeAWoman: Rare non-gender bender variation. After the switch happens, Tess is convinced that something is wrong when she grabs her/Anna's butt.

* MeaningfulName: [[Film/{{Psycho}} Mr. Bates, anyone?]] If you actually pronounce [[ADateWithRosiePalms "Mister Bates"]], well...

* InNameOnly: A girl named Anna and her mother who don't understand each other very well both switch bodies one Friday morning and get a better understanding of each other's lives and become closer, and... that's about all this movie has in common with the original film ''or'' the book (though it does share a few other basic concepts, like the daughter's friends being weird out by the adult behavior the mom exhibits in the daughter's body, the daughter learning that the brother really likes her a lot, and the boyfriend falling in love with the daughter in the mother's body). However, [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools it's not a bad film, and critics praised it for not directly rehashing its 20+-year-old predecessor.]] The lack of similarities didn't stop publishers of the book from slapping a photo of Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis on reprints' covers, though.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Anna might be self-centered at times (and her advice is questionable at best), but she's not wrong to [[WhatTheHellHero call out]] one of her mother's patients on snooping through her own daughter's diary. Even with good intentions, it's still a betrayal of trust and a violation of privacy.

* MeaningfulName: [[Film/{{Psycho}} Mr. Bates, anyone?]] If you actually pronounce [[ADateWithRosiePalms "Mister Bates"]], [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar well...]]

This 2003 remake of Creator/{{Disney}}'s own comedy ''Film/FreakyFriday1976'' stars Creator/LindsayLohan[[note]]In her first theatrical movie role since the 1998 version of ''Film/{{The Parent Trap|1998}}''[[/note]] as Anna Coleman, an aspiring teenage guitarist who doesn't get along with her mother, widowed psychologist Tess (Creator/JamieLeeCurtis)--to say the least. The day before Tess is supposed to remarry, she and Anna switch bodies after a Chinese restaurant owner's mother hands them some magic fortune cookies. HilarityEnsues, with the now-young mother struggling to survive high school ''again'', and the now-old daughter trying to cluelessly deal with psychiatric duties. It eventually transpires that they switched bodies in order to learn AnAesop about the value of family and friendship. Also has Creator/ChadMichaelMurray, as Anna's crush, Jake, and [[Series/{{NCIS}} Mark Harmon]], as Tess' fiance, Ryan.

* AdaptationExpansion: The original book and film were mostly just a plotless excuse for gags, with the body swap going completely unexplained. The remake not only gives an explanation, but also features a good deal of interaction between the swapped mother and daughter, who are both completely on their own in the original film (and the book didn't even feature any of the mother's story).

* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Subverted. Tess' assumption when she learns Anna has a crush on Jake, an older student she knows nothing about other than the fact he often visits her in detention and rides a motorcycle, is that he has a rule-breaking attitude which attracts her daughter. However, Tess later learns that Jake's not really a bad boy; he works two jobs and helps Tess-in-Anna's-body finish a test she couldn't complete after getting detention. In fact, he's turned ''off'' when Tess-in-Anna's-body sabotages Stacy's test in revenge. After this, Tess then allows Anna to date Jake.

* CaptainObvious: Anna is a less than skilled psychologist.

* InNameOnly: A girl named Anna and her mother who don't understand each other very well both switch bodies one Friday morning and get a better understanding of each other's lives and become closer, and... that's about all this movie has in common with the original film ''or'' the book (though it does share a few other basic concepts, like the daughter's friends being weired out by the adult behavior the mom exhibits in the daughter's body, the daughter learning that the brother really likes her a lot, and the boyfriend falling in love with the daughter in the mother's body). However, [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools it's not a bad film, and critics praised it for not directly rehashing its 20+-year-old predecessor.]] The lack of similarities didn't stop publishers of the book from slapping a photo of Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis on reprints' covers, though.

* SadistTeacher: Due to him resenting Anna's mother, her English teacher is like this. While in Anna's body, Tess gives a very intelligent answer to a question on Hamlet, and he fails her on the grounds of being "overreaching". And earlier in the film, he claimed Anna didn't understand ''Literature/NineteenEightyFour''. Her response demonstrates she did and he quickly puts her in detention for a sly remark she makes. [[spoiler:It turns out that the reason that teacher does this is because, back when he and Tess attended high school as students, he asked Tess out and she rejected him. As such, he's exacting revenge by flunking her daughter. Tess, in Anna's body, calls him out on his behavior and tells him to stop or she'll report his pettiness to the school board.]]

* GrowingUpSucks: Anna initially assumes that adulthood has way fewer problems than high school. She learns otherwise after the switch. Tess also learns that High School for Anna is not as easy as Tess remembers it either.

* NoodleIncident: No cause for the late Mr. Coleman's passing is brought up.

* Tess-as-Anna gets one in when she’s chewing out Anna-as-Tess for destroying her professional reputation on the talk show and giving her body a “makeover from hell” during the shopping spree.
