In this beloved Disney sequel, Lindsay Lohan, 39, and Jamie Lee Curtis, 66, reprise their roles as Anna and Tess Coleman, a whopping 22 years after the original “Freaky Friday” captured the hearts of audiences. The storyline follows Anna as she navigates life as a mother to a teenager, Harper (Julia Butters), and soon-to-be stepdaughter Lily (Sophia Hammons), all while preparing for her wedding to Eric (Manny Jacinto). With the wedding countdown on, the inevitable body-swapping escapades ensue, promising audiences a delightful and entertaining ride.
Director Nisha Ganatra’s new comedy, which hit theatres on August 8, was met with great success, grossing over $150 million worldwide. The talented ensemble cast also includes Mark Harmon, Chad Michael Murray, Stephen Tobolowsky, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, and Vanessa Bayer. With such an array of acting talent and the nostalgic return of Lohan and Curtis to their iconic roles, “Freakier Friday” is poised to captivate audiences once again with its unique blend of humour and heart.
During an interview with PEOPLE in July, Lohan and Curtis shared insights into their enduring friendship spanning two decades since the original film. Curtis expressed her trust in Lohan, saying, “I know I can trust her. I can’t say that about a lot of people. We’ve both been through hard things, ’cause we’re alive and life is hard. And we’re not dead yet. So the truth of our experience together, it belies all of the kind of showbizzy stuff. We connected, and we really stayed connected. And that is special and rare for me.”
Echoing Curtis’s sentiments, Lohan emphasised the importance of feeling safe, particularly around Curtis. She stated, “I have to feel safe around people. And Jamie is one of those people for me. Like, I feel very safe with you. I feel safe telling you things. So it’s— I know you said trust, but for me it’s ‘safe.'” Their genuine bond and mutual admiration undoubtedly shine through in their on-screen chemistry, adding a layer of authenticity to their performances in “Freakier Friday.”
As fans eagerly await the release of “Freakier Friday” for home viewing, the exclusive bonus content promises to provide an even more immersive experience into the world of the film. Deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes featurettes, and the “Baby” lyric music video are sure to enhance the viewer’s enjoyment and offer a deeper look into the making of this highly anticipated sequel. So mark your calendars for October 7 and November 11 to catch the antics of Anna and Tess Coleman as they navigate the challenges of family, love, and, of course, body-swapping fun in “Freakier Friday.”
