Barbara Harris and Jodie Foster are superb in ‘Freaky Friday’!

Having only seen the 2003 remake, I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about this 1976 original. In short, I loved it. It’s funny and charming, a real shining light in Disney’s live-action stuff from the 1970s.

They only give you a snippet of Ellen (Harris) and Annabel (Foster) in their actual state, before switching it up, but it’s more than enough to set up how the characters should act versus how they then act. The two leads are utterly fantastic, they both boss their respective roles. It’s easy to forget they’re acting as their opposing characters in moments, which is very impressive.

Obviously a load of the story elements are outdated in terms of gender roles etc., but even when that stuffs occurs the film – at least in my interpretation – sniggers at it – especially with Bill (John Astin). The actual comedic moments remain amusing.

I enjoyed this way more than I would’ve predicted, I haven’t watched the ’03 production in an incredibly long time so look forward to seeing how it compares to this. A great film, elevated by Harris and Foster.

Okay watch, probably won’t watch again, and can’t recommend.

It was interesting to see a young Jodie Foster…

While I appreciate this popularizing (I’m still not convinced it birthed) a trope of “body swapping”, it seems very uninspired: as if they said, “Wouldn’t it be great if a kid and a parent swapped?” and then just stopped coming up with ideas. It was honestly very jarring on both swaps, the latter being honestly confusing (despite having addressed it directly).

The movie made me realize how difficult it would be to swap places and attempt to “be” that person without a shred of preparation. I’m sure that’s a bad sign as I should be more entertained by the novelty or adversity of the situation, but no.

It’s not that its a bad movie, there’s a lot going on, a lot of it decent, but it’s very dated. Even the action in it is a little awkward, but I certainly see why people in 1976 would have been impressed with this.

On the other hand, I don’t imagine people were talking about it for very long. There is a lot of thought narration that occurs, which isn’t very engaging, and most of the engaging humor is cheap physical humor of “what’s going to go wrong this time” so you’re not engaged very long and the impression doesn’t hold.

The part of the movie that is actually rather good is the substance of teaching everyone to appreciate everyone else in the family, but we really took “walk a mile in his shoes” to an extreme here. There are more palatable ways to express the concept, and more movies that use this trope.

I honestly suggest the 2003 version over this one, it’s just not very memorable.

Mary Rodgers’ fantastic tale runs out of gas early because it can’t be bothered with fantasy…
If you changed personalities with your kid–actually found yourself in his or her body–would you spend the rest of the day in school? If you found yourself in your mother’s body, would you bother cooking a meal for your husband’s corporate buffet? Disney’s “Freaky Friday”, adapted by Mary Rodgers from her popular young adult novel, doesn’t quite work; there’s no awe in the circumstance involved–just lessons to be learned. Mom Barbara Harris earns points for daughter Jodie Foster at school, while Foster (in Harris’ body) gets closer to the guy next door. Both leads are very good however, and Harris is wonderful calling her husband “Daddy” (with a quick switch to “Bill, Dear”) and later playing a hot game of softball with a group of boys (while chewing bubblegum AND smoking a cigarette). Foster has some funny outbursts but generally has less to work with (she screws up a typing class, a photography class, band practice and field hockey, but does great in social studies). The movie is far too long, with inertia setting in right about the time Harris is called to the principal’s office to discuss her daughter’s schoolwork. The slapstick finale, a painful “Love Bug” flashback, is pure juvenalia (complete with a magic twist that makes no sense–not even in this movie’s universe), yet the picture was a blockbuster anyway. **1/2 from ****

Jodie was AMAZING
Never particularly loved this movie but it is lifted above the usual Disney fare by Jodie Foster, who was just totally incredible in this. You watch her and she nails the part – her performances in her movies are always better than great but to have been this good as a kid is kinda spooky, she delivers her lines so well. She is just about one of the finest actresses working in movies today along with Meryl Streep. It is so rare for a child to be as mature in performance as Jodie was. I guess the nearest child star in terms of performance is Haley Joel Osment. I have seen the remake with LL and JC but they just do not make such a good job of the parts as Jodie and Barbara (who seems to have disappeared from the movie scene-curse of the older actress).
