It's one of those films that just never gets old. Freaky Friday, a blanket and a massive pile of snacks = our idea of the perfect evening.

If you're somehow not familiar, it's all about a teenage daughter and an overworked single mother swapping bodies after receiving some very mysterious fortunes in a Chinese restaurant, and learning to put themselves, quite literally, in each other's shoes.

The original film adaptation of Mary Rodgers' novel, Freaky Friday came out way back in 1976, with Barbara Harris and Jodie Foster.

Then there was the much-loved 2003 remake starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan.

And now there's yet another version coming out next year.

The Freaky Friday musical premiered in America last year, and there's going to be a TV adaptation of the musical on the Disney Channel in 2018.

Award-winning television writer, Bridget Carpenter has written the script, top composers Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey are in charge of the music and it'll feature Broadway stars Heidi Blickenstaff and Cozi Zuehlsdorff.

So it's fair to say we've got preeetty high expectations.

Now, on a scale of one to ten, how much do you want to go and watch Freaky Friday on netflix?
