In my opinion, Gaby Hoffmann portrayed an adult in a sublime way-better than either Lindsay Lohan (2018) or Jodie Foster (1976). For example, she was convincingly clumsy and awkward when performing teenage activities like playing sports or talking to classmates. At the same time, she excelled at standing up to adults when they were unfair. It was also funny how she didn't even try to pretend to be her daughter and did exceptionally well in school subjects that Annabelle struggled with.
To sum up, it's not a perfect film, but it's one I truly enjoy and could watch many times.
This movie i felt it a little more serious and I didn't think this was that funny and girl when this movie 15 years old and really that her mum not paying that much attention to her.
While the mum got huge meeting to a work, we cost them their job and as to fire someone at work place and look after her family.
When this movie their dad brought over some kind neck less but mum and daughter and they holding the neck less and they both wished to swap places,
I liked how they change in second and they were next each other in the car, I found that very decent and I thought that maybe the best switch of the 3 movies.
I felt the movie tried way to hard to really funny but failed and as comedy felt really forced at times, I liked they were other people who also knew in this movie, (Which kind of makes this remake on his own)
I wish was more clearer when switch back but I could not really tell in this movie but there not last joke scenes in this movie, which I thought would be, I was little disappointing by that
5 out of 10
Positives for Freaky Friday (1995): This movie does good job at taking the story from the 1976 original and putting it in the setting of the 1990's. The two lead performances from Shelley Long as Ellen and Gaby Hoffmann as Annabelle are good and they feel very different from the versions we got from Jodie Foster and Barbara Harris in the 1976 movie. The supporting cast is also great and their banter with each other was good. The movie moves at a good pace where stuff is happening in every scene and it wasn't boring. And finally, the humor is quite good for a movie set in the 1990's.
Negatives for Freaky Friday (1995): While I did like the movie, I also have to say that it hasn't aged very well. This movie was made for TV and it definitely has the budget of a TV show from the 1990's. And finally, I watched this movie free on YouTube and the movie's quality looks like crap.
Overall, Freaky Friday (1995) is a good remake to the 1976 original and I did enjoy the 1990's feel even with its flaws. I would give this movie a good recommendation and you can watch it on YouTube.
