Happy 13th Anniversary Freaky Friday!
Freaky Friday came out 13 years ago on August 6, 2003. The film stars Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis.
Single mother Tess Coleman and her teenage daughter, Anna, can’t get along. When the two enter a Chinese restaurant, they start to argue. The restaurant owner’s mother sees and interrupts to give them some fortune cookies. All of a sudden, an earthquake happens but only Tess and Anna can feel it. The next day, the mother and daughter find themselves in each other’s bodies. They discover that the old woman at the restaurant caused the body switch to happen and the only way to undo it is to show selfless love towards one another.
Both Lohan and Curtis received praise for their roles in the film. Due to her performance, the Golden Globes nominated Jamie Lee Curtis an award for best actress. Lohan also earned an MTV Movie Award for Breakthrough Performance.
