Wednesday June 30, 2004
Well, actually, it was on cable last night. But being that "The Network is the Computer" and all, I figure it was in somebody's DVD player. What a cute movie! Better than you'd expect, for a remake of a 28 year-old flick. (The 1976 original starred Barbara Harris and a 14 year-old Jodie Foster.) Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan are superlative; so good at inhabiting each other's bodies, in fact, that at the end of the movie, when they switch back to their own, it seems wrong. You got used to Lohan as the up-tight mom, Curtis as the rebellious teenager. And trust me, they nailed the roles. When Curtis, in Lohan's body (so I guess it was actually Lohan, not Curtis -- see what I mean?), looks at herself in the mirror and discovers that her daughter had gone off and secretly gotten her belly button pierced, it hit... em... very close to home. In the end, of course, love conquers all, in a finale that got me all choked up. I just love a happy ending. Go see it. It was fun!
