Freaky Friday is based on a novel written in 1972 by Mary Rodgers. The classic body swap premise between mother and daughter has been turned into a film several times, first in 1976 with a young Jodie Foster and Barbara Harris. 2003’s Freaky Friday with Curtis and Lohan was a major hit for Disney, grossing over $160 million and becoming a home video and cable TV staple.

In the film, Curtis and Lohan reprise their roles as Tess and Anna Coleman. The story picks up years after Tess (Curtis) and Anna (Lohan) endured an identity crisis.
