The original Freaky Friday on Disney, starring a young Jodie Foster, arrived in 1976. But it was nearly 30 years later, in 2003 when the film was led by Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis that it really took off. For scores of fans, that is what they think of when it comes to Freaky Friday. While there have been spin-offs, re-makes, and different takes on the formula over the years, it’s that version that endures.

So, it makes sense that people would be excited about the prospect of a sequel. Both Curtis and Lohan are back—as are the stars of the first film—for a new spin on the formula and a continuation of the journey of the Coleman family in Freakier Friday, which opens today.

The film picks up with an adult Anna (Lohan) working in the music industry and raising her daughter, Harper (Julia Butters), as a single mother. Of course, her own mother, Tess (Curtis), is there to lend a helping hand. Tess is still married to Ryan (Mark Harmon) and happily thriving as a therapist, author, and now a podcaster.

It isn’t long before Harper clashes with a new student, Lily (Sophia Hammons), which leads to a blow up in chemistry. Called to the school, Anna meets Lily’s father, Eric (Manny Jacinto), and sparks fly. He’s also a single parent and soon enough their romance is in full bloom.

Fast-forward six months and Anna and Eric are engaged, about to get married. But not everyone is thrilled about it. Harper and Lily still don’t get along, and they really don’t want to become a blended family. After yet another blow up at school, both are made to toe the line at Anna’s bachelorette party.

Instead, a fortuneteller with flare (Vanessa Bayer) sees an opportunity. First, she gives a frightening flashback to Anna and Tess. Later, she gives a big challenge to Harper and Lily. And by the time the next morning dawns, all four have switched places. Anna has become her daughter, harper, while Tess is now Lily. Can they figure out how to get things back on track before it derails the wedding and their futures?

We’ve seen this movie before—literally. While there are some new characters, and some delightfully returning faces (including Chad Michael Murray), the basics are the same. But you don’t turn to a film like this for in-depth plot. You’re looking for some laughs, some heart, and some characters you can’t help but root for, and all of that is still in place.

Curtis and Lohan slide back into these roles with ease. There are several fun sequences as they get to work off one another more in this one. The new additions of Butters and Hammons are also a lot of fun, while Jacinto slides into the role of Eric beautifully. The film has a lot of fun sequences, nods to the original, and expands on the world in a delightful way.

I enjoyed the original, which has stood the test of time for more than 20 years. This is a welcome return to the world and a great showcase for the original stars. It’s clear everyone is having fun, creating something new and delightful that is a great nod to what was fun about the original film. That even includes a great set of musical numbers to close the film.

If you’re looking for a bit of nostalgia and a good time at the movies this weekend, Freakier Friday hits the spot! The film opens nationwide today.
