Genre: Comedy / Family / Fantasy Director(s): Mark Waters Release Date: 01 January 2003 Movie rating: 6.2

Based on Mary Rodgers' novel, comes a movie adaptation and an amazing teenage film, which is directed by Mark Waters. Two main characters in this hilarious movie are mother and daughter, Tess and Anna Coleman. They don't get along at all. Mom works as a psychiatrist at the private practise, and daughter is a high school kid, so there is more than one thing that creates the gap between two of them. With mom having a new boyfriend and soon getting married to him, Anna feels like there is no room for her anywhere. After a fight they have over a dinner in the Chinese restaurant, both of them get a fortune cookie. That is when the magic and the whole comedy begins. Two of them switch bodies and are forced to work with what they've got. That means, they start discovering the lifestyle of each other as well as the difficulties they both encounter in their everyday lives. As they somehow manage to get over that all without Tess' new fiancé cancelling the wedding, two of them finally make a bridge between the generations and try to understand each other. That brings them back into their own bodies. Both of them learn a lesson and the movie ends up with a happy ending. That doesn't mean that everything that happened in between isn't worth of watching. It only means that you will be laughing really hard when you see all the situations they find themselves into.
