The movie is adapted from Mary Rodgers' novel of the same name,published in 1972! The book has been adapted for quite a few movies,in 1976, 1995,2018,and is even adapted as a horror movie in Freaky!

 

Psychiatrist Tess,and her 15 year old daughter,Anna, have a shaky relationship,as they don't understand each other and fight all the time. Tess doesn't believe anything her daughter says, while Anna doesn't understand her mother's choices in life.

 

One night, while at an Asian restaurant,the mother of the owner, offers them cookies. They accept them, and as they read the fortune inside, an earthquake only they feel,takes place.

 

The next morning, Tess wakes up in Anna's body, and Anna in her mother's. This leads to a series of funny and embarrassing moments,as Tess is about to get married the very next day, and Anna has a concert with her band which comes once in a lifetime .

They have to put each other in the other one's shoes, making their best to work things out without messing the other one's life.

 

This is one of my favorite movies,it's so fun, the actors are great, especially the two female leads, Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan. It had heart, it had ridiculous funny scenes,it's honestly a feel good time movie about two generations seeing things from the other's perspective.

 

I liked how they got to understand each other ,accepting each other's choices in life,growing as people.

 

The only thing I didn't like about it was the outfits.

 

The movie is streaming on Disney Plus, and is for rent or sale on Amazon, AMC on Demand, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Redbox, Vudu, YouTube.
