Friday night we were invited to the iconic El Capitan Theater to watch Freakier Friday out now! One of Kennedy’s all-time favorite movies is the original Freaky Friday, so getting to take the whole family to see the new version was such a treat. Before the movie started Julia Butters who plays Harper came out and surprised the audience, which made the night even more special! This movie isn’t just about moms and daughters—it’s about dads too! It had us laughing out loud, warming our hearts, and yes… even crying. We’re already making plans to see it again! Huge thank you to Disney Studios for hosting us, helping us make such fun memories before summer ends, and sending us home with the most amazing goodies—switch collectibles like the popcorn bucket, soda cup, tumblers, friendship bracelets, hats, and more!
From the very first scene, Freakier Friday had me completely hooked with its wild twist on the classic body-swap story. I didn’t just enjoy it, I was obsessed with it! This movie had me laughing out loud, tearing up, and wishing it would never end.
Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan reprise their roles as Tess and Anna Coleman in this sequel to the 2003 film Freaky Friday. The story follows Anna, now a mother with a daughter and a soon-to-be stepdaughter, as she navigates merging families with her own mother, Tess. As they face the challenges of combining their families, they realize they might experience another body-swap situation like they did years ago. The film explores themes of generational conflict, family dynamics, and the enduring bond between a mother and daughter.
Freakier Friday is an absolute blast from start to finish, thanks to its unforgettable characters, talented cast, and clever modern twist on the beloved original. The film centers around a mother and daughter who magically swap bodies, but this time with even crazier consequences and deeper emotional layers. The lead roles are brilliantly played by Jamie Lee Curtis (Tess), Lindsay Lohan (Anna), Julia Butters (Harper) and Sophia Hammons (Lily). Their performances deliver heart, humor, and excellent comedic timing. Their chemistry makes the body-swap both hilarious and believable. The set design is vibrant and fun, from the cozy, chaotic family home to the buzzing high school hallways and city streets that ground the story in a relatable, everyday world. The movie captures the energy of real life while adding just enough magic to keep things exciting. What made me love it most is how it mixes laugh-out-loud moments with touching messages about empathy, family, and understanding each other’s lives, even when they feel completely upside down.
The film’s message centers around empathy, understanding, and the importance of seeing life through someone else’s eyes. By switching bodies, the mother and daughter learn to appreciate each other’s struggles, strengths, and perspectives in a way they could never do before. The film reminds us that true connection often comes from walking a mile in someone else’s shoes—literally.
I give Freakier Friday 5 out of 5 stars, and recommend it for ages 8 to 18, plus adults. Freakier Friday is in theaters now and it is rated PG and 1 hour and 51 minutes long.
Disney Studios sent us a fun PR package for the movie. Thank you Disney Studios!
