Very good German re-interpretation of the mother-daughter body swap

Warning: Spoilers
WARNING: potential spoilers!

So here we go, another mother-daughter, lightning-induced body swap.

So is it boring!

NOT AT ALL! In many ways it's much more fun, and creative, than "Freaky Friday" ever dared to go. The mother and daughter dislike (hate) each other much more. They give it a real real go at spoiling the other's life and on all dimensions: professional, love life, you name it.

And the actresses are unknown and so give it a real honest go, which isn't quite the case of Jamie Lee or Lindsay in "Freaky Friday".

So yes, the copy can sometimes be massively better than the original.

Now WHERE do you find this on DVD, I'm not sure. And given that the film is from 2000, if no DVD is to be found now, the chances are low. Which really is too bad.

WARNING: some big spoilers follow below: - the daughter ruins her mother's class by becoming the cool wild teacher, and before that she ruins her image by dressing "cool" - the daughter ruins the teachers' year-end party by getting really drunk and saying out loud who beds whom and why all the budget goes to the gym not to computers - the daughter makes the mother look like an irresponsible fool who shouldn't be awarded child custody given that she dances half-naked in the living-room - the mother breaks up with the daughter's boyfriend, by kissing the man she is in love with, who happens to be a teacher who is then greatly shocked to have been kissed by a student - the mother screws up all the social network of her daughter by denouncing a drug dealer, and this leads to the house being massively tagged in revenge
