Un vendredi encore plus dingue

Freakier Friday (2025) is the sequel to Freaky Friday (2003), a movie that is really insane and entertaining to watch. Now to be fair, I was a little worried if the filmmakers were going to be able to make a good sequel to that movie because Disney has had a rough couple of years, but I'm happy to say that this movie was good.

Positives for Freakier Friday (2025): Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis kill it in this movie and they recapture the magic and charm of their performances from the 2003 movie while also being in different places in life. It feels like they never left these roles and they set down into these characters like the 2003 movie came out last year. I did like some of the new characters particularly Julia Butters and Sophia Hammons as the two stepdaughters of Lindsay Lohan's character. You do get some nice callbacks of the 2003 movies and they didn't feel like cheap fan service. The plot of the movie is different enough from the original to help it stand out instead of feeling like a cheap copy of what happened 22 years ago with the characters. And finally, the insanity of the premise is still intact with everything that happens in this movie and that make me very happy.

Mixed for Freakier Friday (2025): There is still a nature to the story not making any logical sense as to what is going on, but I don't care because I was having fun with it.

Negatives for Freakier Friday (2025): The movie does feel it is overstuffed with subplots and characters who feel like they shouldn't even be here and they did drag the movie a a lot for me. Honestly, I did forget some of the subplots as they felt so random and pointless that if you took them out of the story, you would still have the same movie. And finally, there is one scene that literally exists for product placement and it was so hilariously dumb that this scene actually made it into the final product.

Overall, Freakier Friday (2025) is a good continuation of the 2003 movie and it was fun to see these characters getting back to the insanity of the story from 22 years ago and I am happy to say that.

I decided to watch Freaky Friday again, mostly out of nostalgia rather than high expectations. It's not exactly a cinematic masterpiece, but it has that familiar, feel-good charm that brings you back to a simpler time.

The story about switching bodies - is predictable, but it works well enough the second timw. What gives the film a bit of freshness is the energy brought by the young actresses, who add some brightness and fun to an otherwise average script. Their performances give the movie a certain warmth that makes it more enjoyable than it probably deserves to be.

So no, the film isn't amazing - but it's light, it's harmless, and if you're feeling nostalgic like I was, it might just hit the spot.

⭐ Rating: 6/10 - mostly for the nostalgia and the youthful charm.

This was honestly a lot better than I expected it to be. I went in with very low expectations and wanted to see it just for a shout out to my childhood but it was honestly hilarious. I was laughing almost the whole movie. Jamie Lee Curtis is so funny and the return of Chad Michael Murray as Jake. Love it. Go see this movie if you are from my generation. Trust me it's hilarious.

I honestly wasn't expecting to like Freakier Friday as much as I did - but wow, it totally surpassed my expectations. This feels like every millennial's dream sequel, and I'm not ashamed to say it genuinely got a tear out of me.

It's so self-aware and funny, with just the right amount of nostalgia mixed with a fresh, modern twist. Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan slip back into Tess and Anna like no time has passed - their chemistry is electric, heart-warming, and hilarious all at once.

The new generational spin brings so much life to the story, adding fresh laughs and surprisingly touching moments - especially around the mother-daughter relationships that so many of us will find relatable.

This was the perfect sequel. You can tell every actor gave it their all but also had so much fun in the process. Disney, you actually did it - and it's nostalgia done right.

I was such a huge fan of the original, I've probably seen it at least 20 times. I was so excited for this sequel! The writing is god awful, the pacing slow, I didn't laugh once or have fun at any point! Freaky Friday is iconic and has so many quotable one-liners, "I look like the crypt keeper!"

I at gun point could not tell you anything any character said during this movie. Surprised it went to theaters feels like straight to DVD material.
