Available now on Digital and coming to 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD November 11 is the hilarious, heartwarming, and super fun – Freakier Friday.
Freakier Friday
Anna (Lohan) is no longer a rebellious teen. She works as a music manager to a popstar named Ella (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan) while trying to raise her daughter Harper (Julia Butters) as a single parent. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on the day) her mother, Tess (Curtis), is never too far away and is always ready to offer motherly advice. One day, Anna falls in love with Eric (Manny Jacinto) after a meet-cute at their daughters' school. Fast forward, the two have decided to get married much to the disdain of their daughters who do not get along. Lily (Sophia Hammons) and Harper want to break up their parents, while Anna and Tess disagree on the possible decision to move away. You know what happens next. In order for everyone to learn a lesson, body-swapping occurs until the universe proves its point.
Freakier Friday is a hilarious blast of a movie loaded with snark, chaos, and those sneaky emotional moments. Lohan and Curtis are comedic gold in this four-way body-swap that ups the ante of the original without ever losing sight of why people enjoyed these characters in the first place. Director Nisha Ganatra along with writers Elyse Hollander and Jordan Weiss, have crafted something that is energetic, fun, and never bogs itself down with lore. Honestly past the initial body-swapping concept, this film stands well on its own. Teens who have never watched the original will still find this one laugh-out-loud funny while us OG fans get to enjoy all the small yet well-placed nods to it.
