Movie Review: 'Freakier Friday' Finds Little Humor in New Premise
LOS ANGELES, AUG 5 – The sequel features a four-way body swap among two generations, highlighting family tensions and comedic chaos ahead of a wedding, with Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan reprising roles.
- Sequel film Freakier Friday sees Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan in the film when it premieres on Friday, August 8, 2025, alongside Chad Michael Murray and Julia Butters.
- With more than two decades passed, Disney returns to its classic premise, involving a four-way swap that complicates the story since Anna Coleman is now a 36-and-a-half-year-old single mom.
- The plot kicks off when Madame Jen triggers a four-way body swap involving Anna, Harper, Tess, and Lily three days before Anna and Eric’s wedding.
- With its mix of humor and heart, audiences respond to the blend of slapstick and genuine emotion as Harper and Lily develop a true sisterly bond.
- Early reviews indicate it scores as a skewed Disney family fairy tale with good-natured sweetness, but some critics note the sequel’s manufactured chaos may strain its charm.

More than twenty years later, "Freaky Friday" is back with a new edition – and makes fun of the youth madness of our time. An interview with Jamie Lee Curtis on beauty ops, which shows the film with different eyes, caused excitement in advance.
Twenty-two years after the first part, this second opus takes up the same theme of body inversion, a mother finding herself in the skin of her daughter, and a grandmother in that of a teenager. Rigolo and distracting.
