* AdaptationExpansion: The original book and film were mostly just a plotless excuse for gags, with the body swap going completely unexplained. The remake not only gives an explanation but also features a good deal of interaction between the swapped mother and daughter, who are both completely on their own in the original film (and the book didn't even feature any of the mother's story).

Added DiffLines:

* MisplacedNamesPoster: Justified, since both Anna and Tess spend most of the movie trapped in each other's bodies. Consequently, both the names of the actresses appear on the opposite side of the poster. So you can imagine Creator/JamieLeeCurtis as a young woman in office wear and Creator/LindsayLohan as an old punk in teenager clothes.
