This was fun.
Curtis and Lohan are in a Chinese restaurant, where they fight, and the Chinese mom gives them magic fortune cookies so that they can walk a mile in each others' shoes. Curtis and Lohan both shine. There are funny moments. I thought this was better than the IMDB rating would suggest.
Lohan seems like she's 20 (she was 17), but at least she's not a 29-year-old playing a 15-year-old high school student. Curtis is middle-aged, and plays a middle-aged mom. Having actors play similarly aged characters. Imagine that.
The music is slightly edgy rock--a bit too polished for a high school garage band (the plot revolves around a key performance), but at least the songs weren't sappy Disney fare, and the music was catchy.
Nice work from all involved.
