NO could be gamer or Goofier as Jamie Lee Curtis in this latest turn in the Freaky Friday Body Swap franchise. She finds a very sympathetic shape, plays a broad comedy for the handle and wears the film pretty well with the help of some beautiful supportive cameo-turns-when her co-star Lindsay Lohan does not nail the laugh exactly. And it should be said that this film and Curtis's leading role as an essay in alternative existence and parallel realities are far more interesting than the astonishingly overvalued Oscar winner at once.
The previous film from 2003 had Curtis and Lohan as a disputed mother and daughter, who swap body body due to the funny magical differentness of Chinese happiness. (In 2025, the new version is a bit culturally like this gags.) It is based on Mary Rodgers' Roman from 1972, who was shot in 1976 with Jodie Foster as daughter, a thoroughly early young star, who was seen as already physical packed during those days. The advertising for this film promises Legacy Came, and when a teenager figure talks about your French friend, will many FF fans have asked themselves exciting whether this French friend has a French-speaking mother who is played by a certain French-speaking star?
In this new contemporary reality, written by Jordan Weiss and Director by Nisha Ganatra, Curtis' character Tess Coleman is a grandma, therapist and parent cadster and her single-teara daughter Lohan's character Anna, a music producer and navalness of a Gen-Z-Teenager. This is Harper, played by Julia Butters, a young actor who is still legendary for her scene towards Leonardo DiCaprio in Tarantinos in Hollywood.
When Harper has a big fight at school with her disgusting, British laboratory partner of Princess-Y, Lily (played by non-Briton-Sophia Hammons), she is horrified when Anna Hart fell for Lily's hot single father Eric (Manny Jacinto). These enemies are both horrified by the prospect of becoming steps sisters. This situation becomes even more complicated-when a crazy palm reader and the fortune teller trigger a new cosmic body swap alb dream, this time with four women, not two.
Another version of this film might have immersed his toes in the problems of body image and identity: Freakier Friday keeps it light, partly as a result of Curtis' awake grandma, in whose knocking generations there is no question of anything. Curtis gets laughing with her freestily uninhibited performance and there are some great gags, including one at the expense of old stars who use a certain social media platform. There are also some amusing contributions by SNL Trouper Vanessa Bayer as Fortune Teller, Comedian X Mayo as a dyspeptic director of the school and Santina Muha as US official who has to assess the authenticity of Anna and Eric's marriage.
As far as Lohan is concerned, she does a reasonable job, although her own body as a legendary wild child from Old, who is now playing a stressed person in middle age, has to remain undeveloped, simply because Lohan does not really have the comedy chops. It is Curtis who embodies the crazy spirit of history.
