Crumpit with his dog Max, and plenty of lettuce juice, extra virgin castor oil and sour milk for sustenance.

FAMILY FUNNIES
It could only happen on Friday the 13th! While simultaneously desiring that they could change places, a mother and daughter experience a strange miracle - their wish is granted.
Dr. Tess Coleman (JAMIE LEE CURTIS) and her fifteen-year-old daughter, Anna (LINDSAY LOHAN), are not getting along. They don't see eye-to-eye on clothes, hair, music, and certainly not in each other's taste in men. One Thursday evening, their disagreements reach a fever pitch -- Anna is incensed that her mother doesn't support her musical aspirations and Tess, a widow about to remarry, can't see why Anna won't give her fiancé (MARK HARMON) a break. Everything soon changes when two identical Chinese Fortune Cookies cause a little mystic mayhem. On the next morning, their Friday gets freaky when Tess and Anna find themselves inside the other's body. As they literally walk a mile in each other's shoes, they gain a little newfound respect for the other's point of view. But with Tess's wedding coming on Saturday, the two have to find a way to switch back (and fast). Mary Rodgers' classic novel gets a new spin in this big-screen adaptation.
