So picture this: 22 years after the original Freaky Friday , Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis reunite in a film that’s both nostalgic and incredibly fresh. Critics are loving it. People who’ve seen early screenings are saying it's not just funny—it’s emotional , relatable , and surprisingly tender. It’s that perfect mix of hilarity and heart that Disney does best, and Lindsay and Jamie Lee? They haven’t missed a beat. The chemistry is still there, and it feels like they’ve just picked up right where they left off.
TV host Jeff Conway took to X and said the film was “double the fun” and “twice the heart” of the original. That’s a big claim—but fans seem to agree. Variety’s Jazz Tangcay called it an “absolute riot,” saying she laughed and cried during the film. And honestly, I get it. Between the family chaos, body-swapping madness, and emotional moments, it sounds like a rollercoaster in the best way.
And get this— Lindsay plays a mom now. That’s right. Her character, Anna, is all grown up with a daughter of her own and a stepdaughter. In true Freaky Friday fashion, a magical four-way body swap turns everything upside down, forcing three generations of women to literally see the world through each other’s eyes. It’s chaos, but it’s the kind that ends in understanding, growth, and those feel-good, teary-eyed moments we all secretly crave in a family movie.
Even the cast surrounding them is stacked—Julia Butters, Manny Jacinto, Sophia Hammons, and more bring fresh energy to this sequel. And there’s a lot of love on set too. Jamie Lee Curtis recently shared that she’s learning from Lindsay, even now. Apparently, Lohan has this lighting trick—her team literally holds lights on either side of the camera to create the perfect shot. Jamie jokingly called it “Lindsay lighting,” but also admitted she’s picked up a few tricks herself.
Honestly, seeing Lindsay back in her element—being funny, being heartfelt, and totally owning her space—feels like a full-circle moment. It’s not just a nostalgic trip; it’s a reminder of how talented she’s always been. And paired with Curtis, it’s just magic .
So yeah, Freakier Friday isn’t just another reboot. It’s a smart, sweet, and super fun sequel that brings something fresh while honoring everything we loved about the original. Whether you’re in it for the laughs or the feels, this one’s absolutely worth the watch.
