Freaky Friday
Official Site


"Freaky Friday"

Dr. Tess Coleman (Jamie Lee Curtis) and her 15-year-old daughter, Anna (Lindsay Lohan), are not getting along. They don't see eye-to-eye on clothes, hair, music, and certainly not on each other's taste in men. One Thursday evening, their disagreements reach a fever pitch -- Anna is incensed that her mother doesn't support her musical aspirations and Tess, a widow about to remarry, can't see why Anna won't give her fiance (Mark Harmon) a break. Everything soon changes when two identical Chinese Fortune Cookies cause a little mystic mayhem. On the next morning, their Friday gets freaky when Tess and Anna find themselves inside the other's body. As they literally walk a mile in each other's shoes, they gain a little newfound respect for the other's point of view. But with Tess's wedding coming up on Saturday, the two have to find a way to switch back (and fast). Mary Rodgers' classic novel gets a new spin in this big-screen adaptation.

Rated PG for mild thematic elements and some language.

Stitch! The Movie...Did You Know?

Stitch and Lilo are back -- along with 625 of Stitch’s “cousins,” alien experiments created by Dr. Jumba that include “Mr. Stenchy” (Experiment 254), and Experiment 625, a lazy Stitch look-alike who makes great sandwiches.
Writer/director Chris Sanders first began thinking about a Stitch-like character nearly 17 years ago when he was just out of school. He revisited the idea around 1997, when he proposed a simple yet strong character-driven film involving his creation.
The filmmakers and artistic supervisors spent two weeks in Hawaii, mostly on the island of Kauai, studying scenery and local customs prior to making Lilo & Stitch. But the most important element they took away with them, they say, was the concept of “ohana” -- that is, the sense of family or unity Hawaiians share.
