What is Freaky Friday about?

Mother and daughter bicker over everything -- what Anna wears, whom she likes and what she wants to do when she's older. In turn, Anna detests Tess's fiancé. When a magical fortune cookie switches their personalities, they each get a peek at how the other person feels, thinks and lives.

Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)

Yes. It lands on a happy note.
