Storyline

The wide generation gap between Tess Coleman and her teenage daughter Anna is more than evident. They simply cannot understand each other's preferences. On a Thursday night they have a big argument in a Chinese restaurant. Both receive a fortune cookie each from the restaurant owner's mother which causes them to switch bodies next day. As they adjust with their new personalities, they begin to understand each other more and eventually it's the mutual self-respect that sorts the things out. Written by Soumitra

Trivia

Those Freaky McGuires, an installment of Lizzie McGuire (also produced by Disney), is considered a fourth version of Mary Rodgers' story (see movie connections). "McGuire" star Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan had a rivalry during this period (see trivia for Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen) and apparently Duff, losing out on this role, demanded that her show get "Freaky" for one installment.
