Freakier Friday (PG)

Freakier Friday

The sequel to Freaky Friday brings back Jamie-Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan’s characters, Tess and her daughter Anna (who is now a mother herself), 22 years after the events of the original.

Tess is still working as a therapist and trying to launch a self-help podcast from her closet, despite her boomer-coded inability to actually hit record. Anna, whose young adulthood included a stint as a guitarist in an all-female rock band, now works as a manager for other musicians.

When Anna’s daughter, Harper (Julia Butters) has a fight in school with her obnoxious schoolmate Lily (Sophia Hammons), she is horrified when Anna falls hard for Lily’s hot single dad Eric (Manny Jacinto); these enemies are both appalled at the prospect of becoming stepsisters. This situation becomes even more complicated – freakier in fact – when a zany palm reader and fortune teller triggers a new cosmic body-swap nightmare, this time involving four women, not two.

Naturally, goofy familial hijinks ensue as our hapless ladies try to adapt to new life in their respective bodies. Freakier Friday is a perfect time at the cinema for all mothers and daughters.
