  Friday the 13th - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Friday occurring on the 13th day of any month is considered to be a day of bad luck in many superstitions around the globe.
The fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskavedekatriaphobia, paraskevidekatriaphobia or friggatriskaidekaphobia, a specialized form of triskaidekaphobia, a phobia (fear) of the number thirteen.
The origin of the Friday the 13th superstition has been linked to the belief that there were 13 people at the last supper of Jesus, who was crucified on Good Friday, but it probably originated in medieval times.

 Freaky Friday Movie review
The movies were all adapted from the novel by Mary Rodgers; the basic idea, of course, has turned up in other movies as well.
The movie is courageous enough to suggest that without this magical switch, mother and daughter are in danger of drifting apart forever.
The movie may not be quite up to "The Princess Diaries" of a few years ago, but it's a very good, very satisfying night out at the movies.

 Joe Critic | "Freaky Friday" Movie Review & More
Freaky Friday is about a mother and daughter who both envy each other; Annabel doesn’t think her mother understands what its like to be a teenager and Ellen doesn’t think her daughter tries hard enough in school.
The movie is about a teenage girl and her mother, but it targets young children.
Teenagers would find themselves “above” this movie (and probably wouldn’t find it very amusing) and younger kids would rather watch a movie about kids their age than about teenagers; especially with the clichéd romance thrown on top.

There was a classic epic score (that was oddly reminiscent of Lawrence of Arabia) and a classic epic ending too (without wanting to spoil it for anyone, it ends the same way as a good 50% of all old fashioned epics).
I think what I really loved about the film was that it was the sort of movie that hasn't been made for a long time, but it fairly tastefully used the methods available nowadays to make it as quality as possible.

Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
Disney's Freaky Friday, a remake of the studio's 1976 classic starring Barbara Harris and Jodie Foster as a mother and daughter who switch bodies for a day, is certainly one of them.
This update of Mary Rodgers' novel, however, is fittingly contemporary: Tess (Jamie Lee Curtis) is a busy psychiatrist as well as a published author, and her teenage daughter Anna (Lindsay Lohan) is a guitarist in a garage band.

 About freaky friday, freaky friday movie review, walt disney
Playing Tess Coleman, a control freak California psychiatrist and single mom who swaps bods for a day with her self-indulgent 14-year-old garage-rocker daughter Anna (played by Lindsay Lohan), Curtis gives a lively, flirty, exhilaratingly goofy performance that really manages to suggest a woman with the soul of a teenager.
The third Disney movie from Mary Rodgers' 1972 teen fantasy novel — best known for that 1977 Harris-Foster version, which came out a year after Foster's scorching run as teen hooker Iris in "Taxi Driver" — "Freaky Friday" starts off as if it were concocted and designed in inflated-sitcom hell.
Since Lohan is supposed to be the magnet for the core teen girl audience the movie wants, it's odd that she's unconvincing as a teenager — and that she's so much better as the sensible Anna, possessed by her adult mom.

Friday the 13th, directed by Sean S. Cunningham, became one of the most popular slasher films in history and spawned a long series of sequels.
In the first movie, a group of teenagers return to a summer camp, called Camp Crystal Lake to prepare it for reopening.
New Line also owns the title "Friday the 13th" but has simply not chosen to utilize it; on its 2004 boxset, Paramount had to credit New Line for use of the name.

Friday became quite the surprise hit a few years back and served as a spring board for director F. Gary Gray (The Negotiator).

Next Friday, however seems to be a rushed step backwards with some very funny moments, but not nearly enough for a recommendation.

 Crosswalk.com - "Freaky Friday" - Movie Review
I enjoyed the scenes that dealt with teen angst, peer pressure, mean friends, wanting to be in a band when mom doesn't approve … and of course the real-life situations, hilarious dialogue and watching Curtis (as the daughter in the mother's body) flirt with the daughter's boyfriend.
Bottom Line:  This is a great movie for parents to see with their kids because both sides will be reminded about what it takes to walk in the other person's shoes for a while.
Parents, this movie will remind you of what you like best about your kids and how it's important to try to recognize and understand your child's best qualities, hopes and dreams.

Friday is the rarest specimen of African American cinema: a 'hood movie refreshingly free of the semiseriousness and moralism of shoot 'em up soaps such as Boyz N the Hood, yet still true to the inner-city experience.

 Friday movie review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
I think the movie could've gone one step further and shown that these problems could've been solved using only brain and without any brawn.
There's not a lot to say about the plot either, except that it does indicate a radically different way in which interesting movies can be made without too high of a budget.
In my view, this marks the view of a genre of movies aimed towards a particular market (and I don't necessarily mean a fl audience, but rather a market that prefers things to be as "real" as possible---have you ever eaten cereal without milk?).

Suddenly Tess finds herself faced with petty teachers, vicious rivals, and a hunky boy, while Anna has to cope with her mother's neurotic patients as well as her befuddled fiance (Mark Harmon), who doesn't understand why his bride-to-be is suddenly recoiling from his embrace on the eve of their wedding.
Comparing the Lindsay Lohan of this movie with the wafer thin girl she has become, it should be noted that she looked so much prettier, happier and healthier then, that I wish she'd look back at this movie and go out and eat something.
You already know that this is a "switch" movie, and thanks to Lucille Soong as an interfering old woman, the switch is done with the crisp snap of a fortune cookie.

The most likely scenario that wouldn’t involve the whole thing being bullshit is that Welling and Rosenbaum would play their respective characters in a prologue before they’re aged up and played by different actors, or used in flashback scenes to the same effect.
From what I hear, this is not going to be some warmed over re-hash of the 1986 cult classic movie, either.
I love these kinds of movies, where the comedy is smart and unhinged, and the promotion has me thinking that, if it delivers, this will be one of my favorite films of the fall.

At this point, they might as well cast Aaron fucking Carter because by the time this movie winds up being made, he’ll be the right age.
As I did last year, I’ll mention how I felt about these movies at the beginning of the year (when I did these columns), and what I’m thinking now.
It’s that movie where those buzz phrases like “non-stop thrill ride” and “edge of your seat” generally apply.

Review (B) Next Friday marks the return of Craig (Ice Cube), this time looking at a day in his life as he visits his cousin in the suburbs, becomes the target of a Mexican gang, and an object of revenge for Debo, the man whom Craig put in jail a few years back.
The movie is almost slapstick but not quite, because any of this stuff could happen, and pretty entertaining, as the situation escalates as the day goes on.
Unfortunately, gone is Smokey (Chris Tucker), who made up a big part of the comedy in the first movie, but Ice Cube makes up for it by making his character just a little more three dimensional, and adding some other characters that are even better.

There is no rest for Zorro, for he must don his mask once again to fight a force that's threatening to tear the United States apart.
"Freaky Friday is a snappy comedy that hits the mark with its wry observations on youth and middle age; in addition it salutes empathy as a bridge-building virtue."
"No, it’s not the movie for everyone, but it is cute, and it is charming, and it is sweet, and if that’s what you like in a movie, then you’ll have plenty of fun."

Disney’s teen-comedy remake Freaky Friday is scrubbed and silly and often enjoyable, largely because of Jamie Lee Curtis.
When Curtis acts in serious drama, she often seems clamped-down; Freaky Friday gives her the chance to go all goofy and showcase her gift for splayed physical comedy.
She may be playing a woman who is inhabited by her daughter, but what comes through is an actress who, for perhaps the first time onscreen, is wholly herself.
