"Freaky Friday" Turned 20 Years Old This Year, Here Are 13 Photos Of The Cast Then Vs. Now

Two decades later and I finally understand that moment where Jamie Lee Curtis's character screams, "I'm like the crypt keeper."

There are so few movies that have left a lasting impact on me the way Freaky Friday has. I mean, just the "Take Me Away" guitar solo scene alone is *peak* 2000s cinema.
