Freaky Friday (also known as Fortune Cookie in Japan) is a 2003 film based on the novel of the same name by Mary Rodgers. It stars Lindsay Lohan as Anna Coleman and Jamie Lee Curtis as her mother. In the film their bodies are switched due to an enchanted Chinese fortune cookie. It also stars actors Mark Harmon and Chad Michael Murray.
This is the third time this film has been made by Disney, and the second in ten years. The original film was made in 1976 and starred Barbara Harris as the mother and Jodie Foster as the daughter. A 1995 television remake was produced for ABC.
Anna Coleman (Lindsay Lohan) is an average teenage rebel whose constant victims of her nature are her stodgy mother Tess (Jamie Lee Curtis) and annoying younger brother Harry (Ryan Malgarini). Sources of irritation include a rock band Anna is in, which Tess dislikes, and Tess's upcoming wedding to a man named Ryan (Mark Harmon), which Anna is emotionally not ready for due to her father's death three years ago. Also contributing to Anna's irritation is her archrival, Stacey Hinkhouse, who never seems to stop torturing her and has convinced Tess that she and Anna are still best friends (which was formerly), and her English teacher, Elton Bates, who gives her an "F" on every assignment, no matter how hard she tries.
Nothing I can do, but total eclipse of the--
Ear, Loeb at a concert at Harbor Park,
Where the fireworks are not much to brag about
'Cause they're better downtown.
Clocks and sneakers on top of the yearbook.
Open up the pages, and take a look at
All the students--Norview HOO HOO--Pilots of 1996.
CHORUS:
And that's what we call Freaky Friday.
Not a Wednesday 'cause Friday's a better day.
There's no relation to a Jodie Foster movie,
And really no purpose, just thought we write a song
About a Friday that's freaky.
I recommend...that you stop playing that song on the radio.
It's really run out, but Tommy still likes it,
And I would much rather listen to some cool oldies.
Or how about a Chilito with some sour cream...
Oh no...chickapee.
It reminds of me of some hummus and some rude Israelis.
CHORUS
Lupita likes to do the Macarena,
But she can't.
Because she's got a stand stuck up her crotch.
This song really has no meaning
It's written by two people who experience
Really bad hair days,
Except for the occasional prom night.
