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.

Freakier Friday was, I hate to say it, a slight let down!

The original worked so well and had fun comedy and a good emotional element, but this instalment just didn't seem remotely fresh. Instead, it just seems to hash over the same story beats as the first film, but this time with an additional body swap scenario that added nothing of real value and just made the whole thing feel a bit messy.

In fact, this is my main gripe with the film. Having Jamie Lee Curtis' Tess swap bodies with Sophia Hammons' Lily just seems utterly pointless. It was shoehorned in so that Jamie Lee Curtis could be let loose, but it served no real emotional value. It was also very annoying that the two characters didn't act like they were in the other's body! After the swap, they just felt like two completely different characters. At least with Lindsey Lohan and Julia Butters, they actually felt like they were playing the other character.

Aside from this major gripe, the plot also just felt a bit repetitive of the first film just with more people. It also was hard to root for the main characters as they are trying to split up a loving relationship, and considering the end was so obvious what was going to happen it makes the journey there a little tiresome at times.

Ultimately though I know this film shouldn't be taken so seriously. It's tongue in cheek and it does have lots of good comedy, and the emotional moments are strong when they focus on Lindsey Lohan's Anna and her daughter. The performances are all pretty good, and I think Manny Jacinto as Anna's fiance is a great addition.

Despite being a let down compared to the original one, it is still funny enough and is worth a watch for fans of the first film.

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.

The most enjoyable thing about body swaps is truly getting to see the actor become the other character. Face/Off, Big, 13 Going on 30, both Freaky Fridays, etc - you really feel the role reversal. That's what made the 2003 version so endearing, you really enjoyed the characters trapped in the other body like it actually happened. I'd say JLC was really the only one that truly succeeded in that regard here. *Saying* dialog or wearing different clothes or being uncomfortable doesn't cut it. Lilo was enjoyable all around, but she didn't truly take on the other character as well as last time. Probably because the teens weren't that memorable as JLC and Lilo swapping were. And the dual swaps with actors that aren't as memorable for their caricatures or impressions made the movie really confusing, and I was continually using too much brain power to try and remember who was really who, and a good body swap shouldn't have that problem.

I'm a little frustrated with the marketing, that we've been fed so much of the legacy characters, to spend so much time with these newcomers. I get the need to reach all audiences, so I know there's no way around that, but I would have loved to see more involvement from Mark Harmon (Tess' husband Ryan) and Ryan Margarini (Anna's younger brother). Chad Michael Murray (Jake) was also under utilized, as well as Pink Slip. There were more included from the legacy cast than I expected, but they were too short.

Overall I laughed and cried and smiled, but having Tess' husband and Anna's younger brother swap would have been more fun than two newcomers. I was a little too confused to say that I enjoyed it more than the first one, and the characters broke reality a few too many times with jokes for the sake of age rather than what characters would realistically do. As an editor myself, the movie could have lost about 10 minutes for better comedy pacing.

This film won't be remembered for its stellar body swapping, but younger audiences will for sure enjoy the antics and everyone with a heart will get the feels at the end, and the family might just be a little closer to each other. For everyone's sake, I hope the film makes a profit so we can see Freakiest Friday in 20 years - but please, have JLC and Lilo swap places again.

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 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.

Lindsay's clearly having a blast again, quirky, lively, and fully dialed in from start to finish. I laughed in the right spots and enjoyed the ride, but the plot didn't exactly stick. An hour later I could barely recall what happened, like a fun dream you forget by lunch. Enjoyable in the moment, forgettable after.

Being an absolute fan of the original film remake in 2003, I had high hopes for the sequel.

I'm glad to say that it lived up the hype. This is Lindsay Lohan's big comeback and she absolutely shines in this role. She's amazing at physical comedy and has the comedic chops to pull it off. Jamie Lee Curtis herself is like a big kid and she seamlessly plays the role of Tess and Lily.

I'm confident this movie has rewatch potential and it will be a comfort movie for many in the years to come.

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.

Not impressed. Bad script. Bad acting .No continuity. Boyfriends looked like they were picked out of Chippendales. Come to think of it THE NEW DISNEY leaves a lot to be desired.

I'm sure people who liked the first one, will like this one as well. However, for some reason I think that 35+ year old people will appreciate it more than youngsters, especially us millenial Lindsey Lohan fans who grew up with her excellent movies in the 90s and 00s. I must admit I'm really happy she got her life back together and is acting again.

On the negative side, it would have been a bit better if this was a 90 minute movie, which I find to be a perfect length for comedies. I really hope that Naked Gun and this movie will be the start of a big screen comedy comeback because last 10 years have been horrible to comedies.

Oh my god, where to even begin! I wanted this to be good so much and I was super excited to see it, but it's very clear this was written by talentless people with absolutely no storytelling skills and TikTok brains, it was a complete mess. They took everything that made the first film good - like character development and a simple but engaging storyline - threw it out the window and just made everyone scream, act erratic and all of the background characters barely noticed a thing. And it tried so hard to be funny but the jokes didn't land. I won't say any more as don't want to write spoilers, just know this is NOTHING like the original.

Do yourself a favour, sack this film off and just stick with film no.1. No idea what planet people who rate this a 10 are living on, it's an utter calamity.

WHY! 😂😫😂

I just got out of Freakier Friday.

A legacy sequel to a fun remake. What can go wrong??

Not a lot, really, I liked the Jodie Foster version and had fun with the remake. This was when Lohan was at the top of her games.

Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis are front and centre in this, (which I'm glad about, as I was worried the younger cast were going to dominate) and they still play well off each other!! There scenes were my favourite in the movie. The other girls, Julia Butters who plays Lohan's daughter (and later Lohan) and Sophia Hammond who plays Lohan's soon to be daughter in law (and later Jamie Lee Curtis) are both great, too. Manny Jacinto is perfect as Lohan's husband to be, Mark Harmon is back, but isn't given much to do and I don't think he even shared a scene with Lohan.

The ending is quite emotional, it does have a lot of heart to it. Especially if you have kids or have lost a parent.

This feels like this was filmed as a streaming movie, that the decided to go theatrical, with. It just feels small scale. It is a bit convoluted and the swapping around is more than a bit confusing at first. A few times, I had to take a minute and think who I was watching!! It has pacing issues, but when the premise is this complicated, it's to be expected and the dialogue can often be clunky and awkward.

Overall I liked it, it was good to see Lohan back on the big screen.

LIKES: Cute Charming Nostalgic References Great Music Good Acting Deep At Times/Heartwarming Some Comedic Gold Summary: Like most Disney pieces, there is always some factor of cuteness in the film. Freakier Friday continues to add that family-friendly element (for ages above like eleven) that holds elements that we always loved in our Disney Channel originals. Fun little bouts of youthful deviousness mixed with family bonding are much of this film, jokes finding their way into that peppy energy I loved in my teens, but with just a touch of modern maturity to help it. It's a charming adventure for the coming-of-age genre, characters finding footholds to still get better despite the past, helping to illustrate that sometimes we need to learn lessons a few times to get it right. Such elements come with the same Disney presentation, that element of fun, awkward antics, getting us toward the lessons in that clumsy style that will be uncomfortable, but in many cases, fun as old and new once again debate over who is superior. Amid the "old" is the nostalgia factor that we love to capitalize on and dive back into. The references are plenty, many new twists or nods to the original that are fun, many turned to help advance the story, or put that right joke into the movie. Some of it is a little heavy-handed or stretched, but I had fun seeing it integrated into the story, especially those comedic gold moments that were so clever that my friend and I laughed out loud for several seconds. Finally, the movie still has the Disney finesse of pulling at your heartstrings, fantastically crafted moments that blend all the Hollywood magic into those memorable moments. Add in the music, a soundtrack that is vibing in so many styles that feel representative of the generations to further help Disney's live action movie feel fun, a few tracks having me tap my toes in glee as I bobbed to the beat.

Outside of these qualities, Freakier Friday thrives well on the speeches and dialogue, with solid delivery and background music to help enhance the moment, executed to a grand degree by the cast. I enjoyed all four of the performances, the talented women finding some depth to their performances and accomplishing two roles trapped in one body with some impressive acting ability. Sophia Hammons has poise, panache, and a bratty attitude that her accent sells with such finesse. When the swap occurs, she gets the mannerisms of her switched persona well, making not only the fashion look wonderful, but also the deeper moments at times. Butters was very enjoyable, a mashup of so many personalities that it was hard to choose which form I preferred; all have a good place in this film. But the champions are who you most likely want to hear about, and Lohan continues to redeem herself with roles that have tapped back into her roots, but excelled into mature means that are a nice blend of qualities. Lohan's execution of two personalities worked for me, and I love the dynamic range that she brings with this fun performance. It's Curtis who steals a lot of the show for me, the seasoned actress continuing to look good and own the moments, no matter how silly they are. I love the chemistry between them, the fun energy familiar in many ways, with some moments again a perfect mixture of talent and writing.

DISLIKES: Predictable Cheesy Too Silly Pacing Issues Some Story Elements That Needed More Some Aggressive Comedy Too Niche Feels Not The Same Caliber As The First Summary: Where the movie starts to fail for me comes in the modernization elements that most movies have taken in this age of viewing. As expected, this sequel does not escape the predictable formula this franchise takes, the path not exactly identical to the first film, but incredibly similar as they search for the answers to their predicament. Freakier Friday's fun helps to dilute some of the predictability, though it doesn't do much for the very cheesy and overly silly moments Disney writing brings with it in modern times. Jokes are very much in your face, with a lot of rough patches of over-aggressive one-liners, corny callouts, and exaggerated jokes that may cross into insulting territory depending on your sensitivity. Such aggressive comedy feels very influencer in tone, the attempts to cram so much simplistic silliness are a bit exhausting at times, with only some relief coming from those awesome comedic moments.

Other elements that suffered for me were the pacing issues, the film having a bit uneven pace as it went from highs to lows so abruptly that the plot felt disconnected compared to the golden age of live-action storytelling. The story elements are there, providing enough of a bridge, but they felt so unequal in quality, with many characters wasted and lacking the involvement the first one did so well. Key obstacles felt truncated, qualities missing those full-impactful moments, not quite there with many characters' fun cameos for a quick blast to the past, but needing something more to be worth the inclusion than just a fun joke. Too many characters? Too much trying to be integrated? Too focused on the new? I'm not sure, but the story just needs some more polishing and advancements to obtain the same caliber as the first, instead of following into this niche that my friend and I feel this movie is targeted at pleasing.

The VERDICT: Freakier Friday is one of the better modernizations of a sequel I have seen in a while. There is respect for the old story, but also plenty of new things to help it be its own film, which should be pleasing to the audience. It's a fun movie, some of that Disney magic coming out in full force to make a charming and enchanting film for most families. Great performances help bring the characters to the forefront, nailing double performance expectations, selling some comedic gold moments, and helping pump the theater up with energy that I like my Disney films to have. Other elements help the film flourish in the form of fun lines and good music, giving us that 2000s feeling at times that I loved diving back into after all these years. Sadly, the movie's modern influences are a little more prevalent than I would like, primarily in the story and over-aggressive comedy that has been popular since the mid-2010s. They can be funny at times, some of the clever moments helping cut through the thicket of jokes that are in your face and focused on demographic topics, primarily ageist jokes. While the awkward moments can be funny, the movie concentrates on the jokes a bit too much, not handling the story progression as well as the first. Cute as it may be, alongside some key scene moments, the uneven pacing and quality are what sort of cut this film's quality down a few pegs. It's not bad, that's not what I'm saying. I just think that it's a much more niche film than the first, matching a caliber that feels like a high-quality Disney+ Channel original movie rather than a full blockbuster feature. Is it worth a trip to the theater? For the target audience of moms with daughters this age, or a group of moms looking for a nostalgia trip, this is your movie to have fun with. For the rest, wait for the inevitable release on streaming to maximize your time. My scores for Freakier Friday are: Comedy/Family/Fantasy: 7.0-7.5 Movie Overall: 6.5.

This movie is not for you... If you didn't see the original If you are an adult male If you are easily confused If you had a few drinks

Sadly, I am a member of all four categories.

As you might guess, I didn't care for it.

Still, I gave it a 6 because even though I really did not care for the movie at all, I do realize that the movie was not for me. Not at all for me. In fact, I wanted to leave about 3/4 of the way through. But even though I stayed in my seat next to my wife for the entirety, I pretty much stopped watching at around that point and started thinking about the Padres, the design for the extension of our deck, and my upcoming vacation.

For someone that has nostalgia for the 2000s Freaky Friday, this was everything I wanted it to be. I was worried at first because this was supposed to be a straight to Disney+ movie. So I did not know what to expect. But I'm pleased to say this legacy sequel keeps everything great about that movie while still having its own heart felt moments to it. Lindsay Lohan, and Jamie Lee Curtis are back! And are as great as ever. Even after all these years they are still able to make these characters work. They are both two different characters, and they both absolutely sell it on both of them and make you believe that they are actually two different characters. It's just the right comedic timing and acting. It's so believable. And even the new cast of kids they have in here, same thing goes for them. They do actually feel like the older cast of characters. And thats whats so fun about playing a role like this, you're able to change your personality up and be over the top and make it work. It's crazy that even 20 years later, not only the actors, but the script, the story, all still works and feels like it's only been a few years after the original film. The comedy is still as funny as always, the story is still that classic freaky Friday story, but with more heart. Yes, we still keep that classic formula. But this time since there's four characters being swapped around, and kids trying to change up their parents marriage. It adds for this whole new layer of satisfaction near the end. The character arcs had a meaning and they went through something because you cared for the characters. It had more meaning because of that extra layer you decided to put on. It is not just a mother daughter banter, this time it's the whole family banter and that's why it works better. Now, this is not better than the original film. No one was expecting it to be. But it is still very much on the same par as the original film because it still keeps everything great about the original film, just 20 years later. But of course, the movie is still predictable, we've seen this formula before you seen this type of movie before you know how it's gonna end. But the journey to get there and that heartfelt ending is what makes it worth watching. If you have nostalgia for that original film or just love the freaky Friday movies this is your thing, but if you did not grow up on that, don't know what this is. Don't check this out. It's probably not for you.

It was clear to me that "Freakier Friday" wouldn't recreate the same feeling as the first film, but the film was still worth watching. Everything is bigger, crazier, and more emotional this time around. It was interesting to see how the characters from the first film have evolved and how they live their lives now in this modern world. The film also has a longer runtime this time, which I think is good. This longer runtime allows the story to expand, thus creating even more stakes for the characters.

Tbh I was really excited for a sequel to 2003 freaky Friday, 22 years later we finally get one and falls short in my opinion. The jokes wasn't landing like they should have. I expected so much more, for this to be Lindsey Lohan big comeback. Don't get wrong Lindsey Lohan, Jamie lee curtis, Manny Jacinto, Chad Michael Murray, Mark harmon, did amazing job with poorly written script. Plus I was expecting funny haha slapstick comedy and they delivered more thematic elements.

Freakier Friday is the sequel to Freaky Friday from 2003. This follow-up is directed by Nisha Ganatra, known for Late Night and Transparent.

Twenty-two years after Tess (Jamie Lee Curtis) and Anna (Lindsay Lohan) experienced a body swap, a lot has changed. Anna is now a mother herself to daughter Harper (Julia Butters) and soon-to-be stepmother to stepdaughter Lily (Sophia Hammons). She is trying to take on the challenge of keeping a blended family running smoothly.

After a special incident, they find themselves swapping bodies again - but this time, the daughter and stepdaughter are also involved. Until they manage to switch back, the four must try to function in each other's lives. That's quite a challenge, as a lot has changed in 22 years, and there is still much to learn.

This sequel, set 22 years later, essentially copies the story of the first film but makes it bigger by adding extra characters. This not only makes it more extensive but also somewhat more complicated, as this time you follow four characters who have swapped bodies. That can make it tricky to keep track of what each of them is doing.

Despite the repetition, the film plays nicely into modern-day topics, in which different age groups can recognize themselves, and it shows how varied the worldview can be between generations. This leads to several comedic moments. The film also appeals to fans of the original, who have grown older themselves and may now face relatable life situations or changes, just like the characters.

Julia Butters and Sophia Hammons convincingly portray older people trapped in younger bodies, delivering believable performances. For Jamie Lee Curtis, even though it's yet another body swap - this time from granddaughter to grandmother - she still manages to create comedic moments and do remarkable things for someone her age. It's also a treat to see Lindsay Lohan return to her role. Compared to when she starred in the first film, she has faced many dark moments in her life, but she has now been sober for several years and is living a healthy lifestyle again.

Its cheesy, even more so than the first. The first half of the movie was kinda painful to get through but a bit past halfway it starts to get more enjoyable and it begins to really hit the nostalgic feel. Im so glad they played the pink slip song, but on that note I would have loved a bigger roll from her old friends. They're hardly in it and then only really show them for the song. I also wish they would have focused harder on that song as that was the best part of the movie for me. It was good but not great.
