The premise is fairly unoriginal - a mother and daughter (Tess and Anna Coleman) switch bodies and get a chance to literally walk in each other's shoes and begin to understand and respect each other a lot more as a result. Neither appreciates the other's life and Anna is extremely put off by her mother's decision to re-marry so soon after her father's death but the only way that the two can be switched back again is if they learn to selflessly love one another. You can probably guess what the ending is like!
Nevertheless this is a hilarious, heartwarming film that any family with a teenager can relate to. The performances from Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsey Lohan make this film enjoyable. The comedic timing between the two of them is excellent in particular, the subtle way in which each adopts the others mannerisms and habits into their new body. Meanwhile Mark Harmon (NCIS) is the new man Ryan in Mom’s life whom she is getting married to and Chad Michael Murray plays Anna’s boyfriend. More fun than I expected it to be!
Ryan: You know what, I'm not really a prying kind of guy, but just for the heck of it, I was wondering what you were doing on the eve of our wedding straddling some guy on the back of a big black Harley?
Anna (in Tess's body): Hello, it was a Ducati!
