In many different movies I have seen, none have been like Freaky Fridays. This sweet loving story of constant quarrelling mother and daughter is a good morale story that people are not exactly what you think they are. You might think they have an easy life and get everything their way however you know who they are not their story.
My favourite character has got to be Ben Andrews (Sparky Marcus), Although he doesn’t appear much in the film all his scenes are quite funny. Like how when he knows what is happening but they doubt in his opinion because he is covered in chocolate and much younger than all of them.
I also adore the main character Annabelle Andrews (Jodie Foster), I love her bubbly spirit and can relate to her consistent arguments with her mother and her annoying sibling. I find her sense of humour, hilarious and found it made me crack up.
Overall I would say this film is for families to make them laugh till they cry as its’ hilarious acting and dialogue will leave you in stitches. I rate this a 4 out of 5 as there is always room for perfection, I suggest if you are from age
7-14 you would love it while older kids would find it too “childish”.
