A Heartwarming Comedy – Freaky Friday

Freaky Friday is one of my favorite movies. The reason why I love it not only it is a comedy film but also it shows the relationship between a single and a rebellious daughter. Besides, this movie was acted by my favorite actresses ─ Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan. After seeing this movie, I acquired that people need to learn something from other’s point of view.

Freaky Friday describes Dr. Tess Coleman (Jamie Lee Curtis) and her teenage daughter Anna (Lindsay Lohan) have one thing in common – they don’t relate to each other on anything. Then one night a little mystic mayhem changes their lives and they wake up to the biggest freak-out ever. Tess and Anna are trapped inside each other’s body. However, Tess’s wedding is Saturday and the two must find a way to switch back fast.

Tess and Anna gained respect and understanding for each other while they switched. When Tess became Anna, she needed to go to school instead of going to work. Tess made many jokes in school; however, she realized her daughter’s school life and interest. Tess played guitar and understood the boy which Anna liked. Meanwhile, Anna had to go to work and changed Tess’s hairstyle and clothes. Anna realized her mother’s hard-working and her love to children. Therefore, she could accept Tess’s remarriage. Finally, they changed back because of their love and understanding.

Sometimes, I don’t like my mom’s behavior and discipline. However, after seeing Freaky Friday, I try to think as my mom and understand why she does this to me. I know my mom really loves me and wants me to be good and happy. At the same time, I ask my mom try to think as my position. Therefore, we get closer then ever. Freaky Friday let me learn the great of family.
