Freakier Friday
It’s two decades later. Can lightning twice? Mother & daughter, Tess & Anna Colman (Jaime Leigh Curtis & Lindsay Lohan), find themselves entangled in another body swap situation. However, is a double switch double the fun? Anna is now a single mom raising her own teenage daughter, Harper, with grandma Tess lending a helping hand. When Harper & new classmate, Lily, cause a huge commotion in chemistry class, each of their single parent is called to the principal’s office. Anna meets Lily’s dad, Eric, & 6 months later wedding bells are just around the corner. The teens can’t stand each other & both worry about how this marriage will change their family dynamics. When mysterious fortune teller, Madame Jen, has a session with the Tess & Anna and then another session with Harper & Lily, earthquake tremors rattle only these four & morning brings those freaky changes between the adults swapping with the teens. Thus, the comedy of errors begins as each manages to wreak havoc in each other’s lives. Again, this is the story of living life in another’s shoes. They all learn the truths about each other that they did not see before. If you were a fan of the 2003 Freaky Friday, you’ll likely love this nostalgic visit down memory lane. See many familiar returning faces. However, I️ feel Disney is playing it too safe & just rehashing many of the same freaky themes in this sequel. See some outtakes as the credits roll.
Alien gives it 3 “change the hearts you know are wrong to reach the place where you belong” stars out of 4.
