Freaky Friday

“A funny, shrewd, no-bull family comedy about the relationship between mothers and teenage daughters that allows Curtis the comedian to remember her days as a slinky starlet while making use of her wisdom as the mother of an adolescent girl herself.”

Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly · 91

“Since her character wears no historical costumes and suffers from no debilitating ailment, it is likely that Ms. Curtis will be overlooked when Oscar season rolls around. This is a shame, since it is unlikely that any other actress this year will match the loose, energetic wit she brings to this delightful movie.”

Dana Stevens, The New York Times · 90

“Offers plenty of honest, good-natured laughs in the process. That's something young and old can appreciate equally.”

Chris Kaltenbach, Baltimore Sun · 88

“This is the first real family comedy I've seen in a long time: one honest enough to satisfy teens, wryly funny enough for adults and zany enough for little kids.”

Lawrence Toppman, Charlotte Observer · 88

“Genuinely clever switched-identities romp.”
