gatyngaj This is one of the better movies that aired in one of Disney Channel's better days. Basically, it's about two teenage sisters switching places, one of which is a popular and gorgeous yet airheaded senior that works hard to become the high school's Winter Fest queen, while the other is a socially inept yet bright and undeniably cute sophomore whose major goal this school year is to succeed in the school's science fair. The contrast between each of the girls makes for a very interesting and fun movie to watch.It's very much aimed towards younger audiences, although Disney obviously disagrees with quite a few of its themes and somewhat suggestive scenes. It still retains its status as a PG-rated movie. The plot is easy to follow, and the characters are even easier to fall in love with.If you liked watching this movie all the time on television, I suggest you grab the DVD. The commentary alone is worth the investment.
cherrysunset2003 Freaky Friday with sisters~ It's cute, and funny. My favorite part in the entire movie is when (Alexia in Hayley's body)dresses up in this sexy body suit and wears it to school. Has a boom-box and dances on school lunch tables, if I remember correctly the song is a Madonna song... When and if you watch the movie you will see what I am talking about.. My next favorite part in the movie is when Alexia in Hayley's body is in Science class and says that a comet is an abrasive cleaner, when he is talking about the Comet the shooting star. The whole scene is really kinda funny.....since i have to have a minimum of 10 lines I guess I am just gonna talk and stuff like this till it lets me turn in the review
goya79 This is one of the coolest movies I have ever seen. It holds a positive note and send an awesome message to all ages. I first saw this movie on the Disney channel and I liked it so much I spent 2 months searching for to buy. Unfortunitly is wasn't available to buy new. I finally found it at a local movie rental place and talked the owner into selling me the only VHS copy. I have recently purchased it on DVD. I would recommend anyone that hasn't seen this movie to invest into buying it or renting it if you can find it. Its on ebay for like $10 shipped to your door.Also when I first saw this movie I was living in Salt Lake City and after a little research I found that a good percentage of the movies was film in the Salt Lake City Area. I found the High School that it was filmed at and also found the house that it was filmed in. I even was able to go inside the house and take a look around, since the house was up for sale. It was really neat to be able to see it up close, let me tell you the house is much larger than in appears to be. Just thought I would share that and I hope that you take the time to sit down with the family and watch this movie it will be time well spent. Enjoy!!!
Tom May Ah, what's become of you, Mr May, I hear some folks saying, "*liking* a Disney film!"Well, I'll just say that this was a perfectly enjoyable, minor film, that barely really bears the Disney mark. It doesn't especially moralise or grotesquely sentimentalise (the sentiments are well handled). Where there are morals, there are suitably hands-off, jocular parents, playing libertarians, and two sisters reconciling their differences. Not to mention the chestnut of the ghastly, 'cool' peer group being shown up for what it is - a rule-bound coalition of bitchy remarks. Yes, this film is far from revolutionary, and many aspects tend towards a strong conventionality; but it's carried off with impressive gusto by the two central actresses. Danielle Harris and Katherine Heigl pull off playing their characters (indeed in each other's skins, from a certain point, as per the plot) very well; Heigl portraying Alexia as the shallow, appearance-obsessed 'prom queen' type who is won round to a bit more humility, and Harris investing a great deal of touching uncertainty into her Hayley Wheaton. That Hayley has the 'inner beauty' is starkly emphasized; she feels beyond the make-up and artifice of her sister, and ironically manages much better with the hapless boyfriend of Alexia's, who Alexia had dumped. A fair amount is done with the fantastical premise; obviously much is unexplored, but this is a family film, and really its job is satisfactorily done. It entertains, with little pretension other than to tell a simple story and expound a few easy, yet broadly sound moral points. Things are simplistic; but who on earth would take a Disney film, or indeed virtually any teen movie (high school life appears a self-contained phantasma of a world, in many recent movies) and expect to gain particular insight into real life matters?Rating:- *** 1/2/*****
