Mary Rodgers (daughter of the famous Broadway composer Richard Rodgers) hit Paydirt with the publication of her book from 1972 Freaky FridayCertainly a harbinger of things that come in Hollywood's obsession with body switch films. Although it has been in one form for decades (IMDB lists over the years), this book created a real trend, which began with Disney's first adaptation in 1976, with the mating of Jodie Foster and Barbara Harris in a magical magic and becoming each other in a mother-daughter exchange. In 1988 the format enabled films like really enable 18 again, like father and son, vice versa and the greatest of all of them: Tom Hanks in Large. Jennifer Garner did the idea twice with 2004 13 to 30 and 2023 Family switch. Nobody did better than Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin in the 1984 classic All of me etc. etc. etc.
But the Freaky Friday Franchise is a real thing for Disney, starting with this 76 edition, followed by a television film with Shelley Long and Gaby Hoffmann from 1995 and even a musical version for the Disney Canal Alley called Freaky Friday. But maybe it was 2003 Freaky Friday Restart with Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan Switching Places who had the greatest influence, and a sequel and not for a remake. To do this, the stars have to get older, and they did that, 22 years later we finally have finally More triggered Fridaywhich the action in a four-way her 15-year-old daughter. It is really a generations epic, but what has worked once, twice, three times (and maybe four), still delivers the premise and delivers laughter, many slapstick -Opps and real emotions thanks to a game that still shows us how it is to live in and live about it.
In terms of history, it has been more than two decades since daughter Anna (Lohan) and Mother Tess (Curtis) made these memorable one -day switch. Tess Coleman is now an author and psychologist who wrote a new book. She still juggles things, including Ryan's wife (Mark Harmon, who returns in a signed role). A mother of Anna and grandmother as a 15-year-old surfer girl Harper (Julia Butters), who goes through the usual teenage fear of most girls in their age, including conflicts with mom, the now managers of popstar, Ella (Maitreyi Ramakrishrh). Touch the film). In addition to this headache, Anna is still trying to deal with Harper and her problems. On the way she meets Eric Reyes (Manny Jacinto), a single parent and cook who has a restaurant. They meet, but he has a daughter, also 15 named Lily (Sophia Hammons) from England, who hopes to return to London, where she can one day become a fashion designer. She is against Papa's romance with Anna, but it's too late. Anna and Eric intend to marry their families.
Well, all of this leads to more secret and magic when Tess and Anna have a reading of Madame Jen (Snls Vanessa Bayer – very funny) The leads to the fact that Tess changes with Lily and Anna with Harper. Anyone who is familiar with the premise can bet that everything will be very scary and very very Complicated, not only changes with mother and daughter, but now also grandmother and daughter who swap the exchange.
Curtis was nominated for a Golden Globe for the first time, and it could be again because this experienced comic pro white how to milk every laugh and show real horror As a 15 -year -old, many new wrinkles discovered. She is a hoot and Lohan puts her beat a beat. Of course, Lohan was not a newcomer to the premise when she changed with herself in Disney's 1998 Parenting trap Remake that she made a star just four years earlier, but now she adds a welcome mature level to the process to show that sometimes we are becoming more than one way. With all the comic hijinks you expect, there are some real human emotions and real gravitas to examine our lives from the inside out. Give the director Nisha Ganatra and the screenwriter Jordan the honor that you have brought this freaky out with the four-way switch to another level and try to prevent them from completely confused about who this is at all times. You have to pay close attention to it.
Among the remaining staffing are several returnees from the film in 2003, including Harmon; Rosalind Chao Back as Mama P; Stephen Tobolowsky as Mr. Bates; And Chad Michael Murray, flowing hair and everything that returns as Anna's crush Jake. He now runs a record store (remember that?). Jacinto makes a real impression of the newcomers here, as does Hammons, who, as a lily, also has to do with the loss of her own mother and the great butters that were so good in Tarantino It was once in Hollywood And now is growing up.
I have to admit that with all this body change and the various subplotes that white introduced Disney how it works.
The producers are Kristin Burr, Andrew Gunn and Curtis.
