What Is Freaky Friday (2003) About

Directed by Mark Waters, the film was based on Mary Rodgers’ 1972 novel of the same name. The story follows a mother-daughter duo, Tess and Anna (played by Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan), who don’t get along with each other. Their lives take a drastic turn when they magically wake up in each other’s bodies because of a mysterious fortune cookie. As they’re forced to live one another’s lives, a series of amusing events leads them to understand each other like never before.

What To Expect From Freakier Friday?

Directed by Nisha Ganatra, the sequel picks up many years after the events of the 2003 film. The story follows Anna, now an adult and a mother, who is busy with her wedding preparations. After a visit to a fortune teller with Tess, a sudden lightning strike triggers another magical body swap. But this time, Tess and Anna aren’t the only ones caught in the chaos.

Freakier Friday – Rotten Tomatoes Score

The sequel currently holds an impressive 80% critics’ score on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. The site’s critics’ consensus reads, “Freakier Friday doesn’t reinvent the original’s story so much as it swaps the formula around for a frothy good time, with Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan easily slipping back into roles that fit them like mixed-and-matched gloves.” Based on the critics’ reviews so far, the sequel seems like a fun and worthwhile watch, especially for fans of the 2003 film.
