Hi there,

I am writing a review on the film 'Freaky Friday'. Is it correct to say it like this?


Anna and her mother switched their bodies after eating the fortune cookies. They live each other's life for one day.

Thanks
pete

Pete,

I think it would be better like this:

Anna's and her mother's personality exchanged bodies with each other after they ate some fortune cookies. As a result, Anna and her mother lived each other's life for one day.

Hi there,

I don't know how their personality exchanged bodies. It is fortune cookies which make them exchange their bodies. How can I make this meaning in a sentence?

thanks
pete
