Freaky Friday

Audio problem: During the audition song when the drummer first looks at Anna wondering why she isn't playing, his sticking is out of synch with the drumming.

William Bergquist

Audio problem: When the band Pink Slip is performing their song at The House of Blues, near the beginning of the song, Anna's two band mates are looking at her and wondering why she isn't playing. Maddie (the lead singer) is looking at Anna and singing, but Peg (the other guitar player) is looking at Anna and not singing. However, in the song, you can hear someone singing a harmony note opposite the main melody. How could that happen if Peg wasn't singing?

Audio problem: When Anna and Tess go back to the Chinese restaurant to ask them about the fortune, Pei Pei calls her mother to them. When her mother responds to one question you can hear her talking but her mouth is no longer moving.

Audio problem: When Pink Slip are performing the song that is dominant in the film the chord the guitarists play during the whole song (except the chorus) is A major however the chord that can be heard is F5.

Anthony Ord

Continuity mistake: When Anna (Tess) is in Anna's room in her robe with her hair up, she is looking for the fortune in Anna's pants pocket. She finds it and drops the pants, but in the next shot they show a close up of the fortune and Anna still has the pants in her hand.

Question: Why do Tess and Anna not switch bodies at the Chinese Restaurant? At the end when 'selfless love' changes them back, they switch right away. Why did this not happen at the start?

Answer: You need to think back to the poem... "A journey soon begins, its prize reflected in another's eyes. When what you see is what you lack, then selfless love will change you back." It says a journey SOON begins, not immediately, and it says "WHEN what you see...change you back". Basically the switch happens SOON, the switch back happens IMMEDIATELY.

Answer: If you watch the trailer of the movie, they do switch at the Chinese restaurant.
