WALT DISNEY PICTURES' FREAKY FRIDAY - Cast: Jamie Lee Curtis, Lindsay Lohan, Harold Gould, Chad Michael Murray, Christina Vidal, and Mark Harmon Director: Mark Waters Producer: Andrew Gunn Executive Producer: Mario Iscovich Dr. Tess Coleman (JAMIE LEE CURTIS) and her fifteen-year-old daughter, Anna (LINDSAY LOHAN), are not getting along. They don't see eye-to eye on clothes, hair, music, and certainly not in each other's taste in men.

One Thursday evening, their disagreements reach a fever pitch -- Anna is incensed that her mother doesn't support her musical aspirations and Tess, a widow about to remarry, can't see why Anna won't give her fiancé (MARK HARMON) a break.

Everything soon changes when two identical Chinese Fortune Cookies cause a little mystic mayhem. On the next morning, their Friday gets freaky when Tess and Anna find themselves inside the other's body. As they literally walk a mile in each other's shoes, they gain a little newfound respect for the other's point of view. But with Tess's wedding coming on Saturday, the two have to find a way to switch back (and fast). Mary Rodgers' classic novel gets a new spin in this big-screen adaptation.

JAMIE LEE CURTIS (Tess Coleman) has demonstrated her versatility as a film actress with starring roles in such acclaimed films as the blockbuster "True Lies" opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger, for which she won a Golden Globe Award as well as an American Comedy Award, and "Trading Places" with Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd, for which she earned a BAFTA (a British Film Academy Award) for Best Supporting Actress. Most recently Curtis starred in "The Tailor of Panama" along with Pierce Brosnan and Geoffrey Rush. Prior to that she starred in "Halloween: H20," which was the 20-year sequel to "Halloween"
