Freaky Friday

This movie made me want to puke in my mouth. It was cheesier than the Mac 'n' cheese I had for lunch. When I heard the song, "Biology" the happiness in my heart took a trip to sadness sappy sad land. So cringe worthy it made my head spin off my body. TRASH. Thanks! Have a nice day and don't be stupid and watch this movie (like I did LOL)

When I first saw the commercials for this movie, I was annoyed that they were making yet another version of this, but we thought we'd give it a try anyway since we usually end up loving Disney movies. This was terrible. Like, so bad. I can't believe Disney even went through with this. Also, I feel I should add that I LOVE musicals, and this being an unexpected musical made it sooo much worse. The acting is bad. The lip syncing is bad. The songs are ridiculous (I mean, that biology one was just painful to watch with the lyrics and the cheesy dancing, and lets not even go into the fact that it's actually the mother singing about having feelings for a teenage boy..awkward). We will definitely not be watching this again.

'Freaky Friday' is awful in every way, a complete embarrassment to its namesake. The daughter character has no redeeming characteristics -- she is lazy, dirty, socially handicapped, and is completely devoid of empathy. She treats everyone around her like they are sub-human. They took the teenager trope way too far and created a character the audience could never root for, and it is not believable that the other characters like her.

The mother character also makes no sense. No adult would have such a flawed memory as to go into high school so naive, starry eyed, and earnest. She also seemed to lose her ability to take social cues when she switched bodies. I'm not sure if the writers themselves have ever been to high school. I also do not understand why the writers thought it was a good idea to give her a crush on a 14 year old boy.

The songs are exclusively terrible and so long it becomes awkward, honestly not sure why it was a made a musical. There's no reason to say anything more than that, the musical segments have to be seen to for one to really understand how abhorrent they are.

So, why did I give this movie a 2 instead of a 1? All the problems I listed above combine for a special kind of awful. This movie is hilarious, from the bad lip syncing and singing down to the irrational and suspension of disbelief shattering level of unrealistic behavior the characters exhibit. At around a 70 minute runtime it is the perfect movie to watch when you're bored and looking for a laugh.

People are being very weird in the reviews. It's a cute movie, the songs are from the musical you weirdos!

I think the signing is cute and I enjoyed the movie. Is it a masterpiece? No. Is it cute? Sure!

I think Cozy is cute as a main character and does a good job. I think the acting is as you'd expect from a Disney movie. The actors look the age they're playing, which is a nice change of pace.

Overall y'all should just stop being so jaded and enjoy a cute little movie from Disney.

It's as good as Radio Rebel. I think that's actually a good comparison. This at the same level of acting and story as Radio Rebel. I don't see anyone arguing that's a masterpiece either, but it is fun!

This movie was the worst I have ever seen. None of the commercials mention that it js a musical. There is no real lesson to this movie and it is trash. The songs are just annoying and have no meaning and dont even make sense with the movie.
