Freaky Friday

In this, the second remake of the Disney classic, we have Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan as the mother daughter team doing the big switcheroo. Both are great and you already know the story so I shan't dwell on it. Instead, let's point out a few small things. Marc McClure, who played Jimmy Olson in the Christopher Reeve Superman films as well as Supergirl, returns in a cameo role as Boris, the character he played in the first remake. Rosalind Chao, known to us as Keiko O'Brien from Star Trek the Next Generation, has a great bit role with Lucille Soong her mother. This is interesting as Soong appeared briefly in an episode of THE PRISONER as well as CORONATION STREET. Also of interest is the in-joke of having Mary Ellen Trainor as a patient of psychaitrist Curtis as Trainor played the shrink in all of the LETHAL WEAPON films.
Mark Waters, who would direct Lohan again in MEAN GIRLS delivers the happy goods with this project and in closing, no that is NOT Martin Scorsese playing the grandfather...it is tv veteran Harold Gould!
