				"It's easy to be you. 
				I'll just suck the fun out of everything." – 
				Anna (in Tess' body) 
				Why watch this? This 
				film is simply a lot of fun, as two fine actress ham up the 
				switching-bodies theme. 
				Plot Summary: 
				The plot centers on a constantly bickering mother and daughter 
				who, after a magical encounter, find themselves inexplicably 
				swapped into each other's bodies. Forced to navigate each 
				other's lives and challenges, they gain a newfound perspective 
				on their relationship. Ultimately, they must find a way to 
				switch back before an important event for the mother. Dad's Preview: 
				After the successful 
				Parent 
				Trap (1998) remake, Disney's next film for Lohan was this 
				comedy. 
				At the last minute, Jamie Lee Curtis signed on, and she 
				basically steals the show. She is wonderful after Lohan's mind 
				enters her body - becoming the teen - so energetic, pouty, and defiant! Hats off to Lohan for hanging in with her. 
				There are tons of laughs as 
				they adjust to their new bodies, then try fix things. It's a 
				hoot to watch.
