Every teen's nightmare... becoming her own mother.

Anna Coleman is fifteen years old and dreams of making it big as a musician. She lives in Los Angeles with her mother, Tess, a psychiatrist and widow, her younger brother, Harry, and her grandfather, Alan. Anna still hasn't fully come to terms with her father's death three years earlier, and she struggles to accept Ryan, the man her mother is engaged to. At school she has to deal with very strict teachers and the teasing of Stacey, her former best friend. On top of that, she has a crush on Jake, a boy her mother doesn't approve of. Mark Waters directs this teen comedy starring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis as a mother and daughter.

Trivia about Freaky Friday

Jamie Lee Curtis joined the cast four days before filming began, after Nina Jacobson recommended her for her work on True Lies (1994).
Tom Selleck was the first choice to play Ryan, but left the project after Annette Bening exited, and Mark Harmon took the role.
Lohan said Anna's punk style and attitude were inspired by Avril Lavigne, whom she cited as a key reference for the character's look.
Lohan spent a year training on guitar, but the final film used performances re-recorded by studio musicians.
