What a weird post.

In both versions of Freaky Friday (all body swap movies for that matter) they freak out.

In Big he freaks out and everyone who knows freaks out.

The Santa Clause he screams into the mirror when his beard grows back.

What more do you want? If they don’t move past it at some point there is no movie.

I think it's valid. They 'freak out' but then for the remainder of the movies they just accept it and move on.

Imagine if you 'swapped bodies' or a child became an adult suddenly in real life. It would be earth shattering. Everything we think we know is effectively a lie. Some people would become catatonic trying to deal with it. People would be vomiting, crying. If the government found out they would go full ET on the person.

Right, that’s why I said you wouldn’t have a movie if they did that.

They move on and accept it in Ruby Sparks too.

You could definitely have a movie. It just wouldn't be a wacky fun family movie. You'd end up with something like 10 Cloverfield lane. A psychological horror.
