* [ FASHION ] Lindsay Lohan dares fashionistas to love her Oct 7, 2009
But all eyes and, more crucially, lenses rested on just one of them: Lindsay Lohan, the actor who is perhaps better known for her frequent stints in rehab, her multiple drink driving arrests and very public love affairs than for her work in films such as Mean Girls or Freaky Friday. Lohan took the bow as artistic adviser, a role defined by the Ungaro boss, Mounir Mouffarige, as being a dancing, swinging, living doll and a moving advertising campaign for the brand.

Freaky Fortnight Oct 6, 2009
Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan spend Freaky Friday stumbling and bumbling, trying to get back to their real lives, and that's a little bit how I feel today. Partly I miss my children, partly I miss my regular work, but mostly I just miss my real life because it's mine. (Slate)
‘Zombieland’ fills up Sony coffers on its opening weekend Oct 5, 2009
(That said, the Freaky Friday star has her own line of leggings called 6126). The collection was chock-full of more of the ultra-mini party girl dresses that have flooded Paris catwalks this season, but it also had some nice, wearable suits that harkened back to Ungaro s heyday in the 1980s.

Jackson tentatively attached; another has been titled "A Scary Little Christmas;" and the third - which could begin production as early as September in Atlanta - is "Opposites Attract," which Ewen characterized as "a raunchy body-switch movie" that has a $30 million budget and a tried-and-true director (Jay Chandrasekhar of...

Bitch and Famous Jul 30, 2009
I remember thinking back when I first saw Lindsay Lohan, in that 'Freaky Friday' remake, what a nice un-Hollywood vibe she had. Finally, an unprecocious young actress. (iAfrica.com)

Film review: Bad screenplay kills 'Ghost of Girlfriends Past' May 8, 2009
Director Mark Waters had his share of hits Freaky Friday (2003) and Mean Girls (2004) but, here, with a weak gimmicky screenplay, he leaves it up to his cast. McConaughey does have the charm to pull off the character, while Garner is pleasant but has nothing to do. (Kingston Mariner, MA)
What's Playing May 7, 2009
Director Burr Steers takes you places you've been before - many times - in more charming movies like "Big," "13 Going on 30," "Freaky Friday," "Never Been Kissed" and even "Back to the Future." It's facile and feel-good, not engaging or insightful. Two stars out of four. (Athens Banner-Herald)
McConaughey's 'Ghosts' frighteningly familiar May 1, 2009
Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, who also were behind the overbearing "Four Christmases," wrote the screenplay; Mark Waters, who's enjoyed better material with the Tina Fey-scripted "Mean Girls" and the 2003 remake of "Freaky Friday," directs. You can count the jokes that work on one hand; the rest is pratfalls and predictability. (The Star Online, Malaysia)
Capsule reviews: `17 Again' and other films Apr 20, 2009
Director Burr Steers, a long way from his darkly comic, coming-of-age debut "Igby Goes Down," takes you places you've been before in more charming movies like "Big," "13 Going on 30," "Freaky Friday," "Never Been Kissed" and even "Back to the Future." (Jason Filardi wrote the script. But rather than changing his decision to abandon his dreams of basketball stardom and marry the high-school girlfriend he knocked up, Mike realizes his true purpose is to reconnect with his wife (played as an adult...

17 Again flunks Apr 17, 2009
Grafting together pieces of Big, Freaky Friday and Peggy Sue Got Married, among many others, 17 Again hits the usual plot beats, with young Mike steering Maggie away from an abusive boyfriend and giving Alex the confidence to talk to girls and join the basketball team. If only any of this were funny Efron shows little flair for comedy, and he doesnt get much help from Jason Filardis deadly script, which even hobbles the usually-hilarious Lennon. (MSNBC -- News)
Efron - surprise! - plays nice in '17 Again' Apr 17, 2009
It's a body-transference comedy in the vein of "Big," "Freaky Friday," and other candidates for Turner Classics. After that opening sequence, in which 1989 high school stud Mike O'Donnell (Efron) blows the big game to be with pregnant girlfriend Scarlett (Allison Miller), we cut to the present. (Boston Globe)
REVIEW: '17 Again' is a real do-over Apr 17, 2009
If you've seen Back to the Future, Freaky Friday or 13 Going on 30, you can divine the entire plot within minutes ... Though not as clever as 13 Going on 30 or Freaky Friday, it's also not as hokey as Hannah. (USA Today -- Life)
Would you really want to be 17 Again? Apr 17, 2009
You can see the love-hate relationship adults have with their pasts played out again and again in similar movies such as Freaky Friday (both versions), 13 Going on 30, Peggy Sue Got Married, 18 Again, Like Father, Like Son and all three Back to the Futures. These movies tap into our desire to be young again and play on our fear of what might happen if we really did go back. (MSNBC -- News)
Movie Review: 17 Again Apr 17, 2009
Films like It's a Wonderful Life, Big, Like Father Like Son, Freaky Friday (both versions) and Vice Versa have mined similar terrain for decades. Given that the first image in this film is of Efron, shirtless and greased up, director Burr Steers and scripter Jason Filardi clearly hope the overheated teen audience won't notice the recycled, sieve-like plot.

Lohan Dating Video May Rehab Image Apr 16, 2009
Celebrity watchers say the video couldn't have come at a better time for a young star who once lit up the screen with hits such as "Freaky Friday" and but lately has seen her star fade. "She is poking fun at herself and saying, 'I know what the world is saying about me, I am going to say it before you think it.' It really shows she is ready to move on," Dina Sansing of US Weekly said. (ABC News)
MOVIE REVIEW: '17 Again' is trip backward, laughs time-warped Apr 16, 2009
"17 Again" is a mixture of gooey and serious, but becomes a sort of twice-baked reminder of similar past entries with different twists, from "Freaky Friday" and beyond. Beyond little original, there isn't much good comedy pushed forward, and the uneasy scenes between the adult Mike and his estranged wife, or Mike's overall serious malaise, don't fit the same mood as some of the sillier elements. (North County Times)
Review: You've seen ‘17 Again' - again and again Apr 15, 2009
Director Burr Steers, a long way from his darkly comic, coming-of-age debut Igby Goes Down, takes you places you've been before many times in more charming movies like Big, 13 Going on 30, Freaky Friday, Never Been Kissed and even Back to the Future. The idea of going back to high school is so overdone, there was even an entire episode of Family Guy that parodied it. (Jefferson City News Tribune, MO)
