      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Anna Coleman (Lohan) is a normal teenager who's going crazy living with her mother Tess (Curtis) and her little brother Harry (Ryan Malgarini). The night before the rehearsal dinner for Tess's upcoming wedding the family goes to a Chinese restaurant for dinner, and the two have an argument like none other. Not happy with what she's witnessing, the restaurant owner slips mother and daughter each a magic fortune cookie, and when they wake up the next morning they discover that it's one Freaky Friday. They have literally switched places; each is inside the other's body, and it's going to take a miracle to get them back where they belong! Based on the book by Mary Rodgers. One wonders why Disney chose not to release the original "Freaky Friday" simultaneously. (Tricia Littrell)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture is sharp and detailed, with nicely rendered clarity and definition. Colors are rich and warm, with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. At times, hues seem a bit

    Soundtrack:

    Reason #102 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I just recently started a home theatre business called Celestial Audio Video. Widescreen Review plays an important part for many reasons. Not only can I keep up with new trends and new technologies, I can understand better, and I am able to also explain to customers about forth-coming products. The in-depth and detail of your articles are not only appreciated but needed. In short, on a professional level your publication is a must-read every month. On a personal level, I enjoy the DVD reviews, the monthly feedback, and editor's couch. I would also like to see more reviews on DVD concerts. As far as I'm concerned, your magazine is top notch for home theatre, unsurpassed by none and stands in a class by itself. A true reference quality publication.
