The Hollywood film Freaky Friday tells the hilarious story of what happens when a mother and daughter switch bodies. The mother wakes up in her daughter’s younger body and the daughter wakes up in her mother’s older body. Comic situations follow as the mother tries to keep her daughter’s cute boyfriend, who is smitten by the sudden spurt of maturity, at bay. And the daughter has to deal with her mother’s rakishly handsome fiancée and run her mother’s psychiatry practice. As the story proceeds, the two begin to understand each other better. All this happens because of a spell in a fortune cookie.
