22 years after the beloved 2003 body-swap comedy, Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis return for a sequel that adds the next generation � generating a comedy of generational confusion that works better than anyone expected.
Another Freaky Friday
Millennial nostalgia has been a reliable box office force, but Freakier Friday does more than coast on goodwill � it uses the sequel premise to add thematic depth, exploring what's changed and what hasn't in parent-child relationships across 22 years. Anna (Lohan) is now a mother herself, her daughter as exasperated with her as she once was with Tess (Curtis). The film's clever conceit involves multiple simultaneous body swaps, creating a three-way generational confusion that generates comedy from the gaps between boomer, millennial, and Gen Z. Curtis is doing something quietly brilliant in all three layers.
"Lohan and Curtis haven't missed a beat. The sequel earns its existence by finding new things to say about mothers, daughters, and the endless misunderstanding between them."
� Entertainment WeeklyThe Verdict
A genuinely good sequel to a beloved film. $248M worldwide confirms the nostalgic affection is real, and the film deserves it. More fun than it had any business being.
