Chad Michael Murray's character Jake in Freaky Friday is a unique addition not found in the original book or earlier adaptations. The character's swagger and nonchalance, contrasted with his honest feelings, made him relatable. The film's plot revolves around Anna Coleman and her mother Tess waking up in each other's bodies, leading to humorous and heartfelt moments. Freaky Friday's charm continues to resonate, contributing to its status as a millennial classic, particularly with its leads, Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis, delivering standout performances.
"He kind of had a swagger to him. He was nonchalant about a lot of things except for his honest feelings about both girls in his life. He wasn't full of anything other than 'This is who I am, this is what you get.' And that was it. I liked that."
"Jake never did learn that Anna and Tess unwillingly switched bodies overnight. That's why he's appalled at school when his peer begins acting like a holier-than-thou adult."
"On its 20th anniversary, Freaky Friday remains a millennial classic for many reasons. Watching an ultragame Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis wake up in each other's bodies and try to adapt to the mystical swap without letting anyone in on the secret certainly ranks at the top."
"It's totally easy to understand why an alt-rocking 15-year-old girl circa 2003 would crush hard on Chad Michael Murray's Jake in Freaky Friday. No square-jawed jock, this guy worships the Hives and the Vines."
