Get excited, everyone—Disney is bringing back the magic of “Freaky Friday” with a brand new sequel! Twenty years after Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan won our hearts in the original, they’re returning for “Freakier Friday,” and I couldn’t be more thrilled.
This time around, the body-swapping chaos isn’t just between mum and daughter. Without spoiling too much, let’s just say more people get pulled into the mayhem, leading to some seriously funny and touching moments. The story explores what it means to be family in 2024, while maintaining all the charm that made us fall in love with Tess and Anna in the first place.
What’s got me really excited is how they’re blending the best of both worlds, all the warm, fuzzy feelings from the original, with fresh twists that will resonate with today’s families. Plus, alongside Jamie and Lindsay, there’s a fantastic new cast joining the mix (and keep your eyes peeled for some familiar faces making surprise appearances!).
If you loved the first movie, you’re in for a treat. But even if you’re new to the “Freaky Friday” world, this is shaping up to be the perfect family movie night pick. It’s got humour, heart, and tackles real issues we all deal with, just with that extra sprinkle of Disney magic.
Sure, we’ve all been burned by sequels before, but with the original stars back and such a solid foundation to build on, “Freakier Friday” looks like it’s going to be something special. Who’s ready for another round of body-swapping shenanigans?
