‘Freakier Friday’ brings new life to 2000s nostalgia

Deja vu isn t just a feeling or a great song by Olivia Rodrigo When it comes to freakier Friday it s a premise Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis are trading places again but not with each other Because when it comes to this sequel it s double the fun and double the craziness Double the freaky Okay nobody panic On second thought maybe everyone should panic because history is repeating itself in Freakier Friday But this time around Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis aren t the only ones switching bodies In the sequel Lindsay s daughter and soon-to-be step-daughter get caught up in the chaos The girls may be new to the fold but the OGs have been there done that and they re super excited to be back for more after all these years Lindsay Lohan I know it s been years since Freaky Friday s been a global hit at the box office I didn t know if I would see this day but I m sure happy that I did Jamie Lee Curtis My joke perpetually was well we have to wait until Lindsay s old enough to have a -year-old child and then we can make a sequel And then we figured out she was old enough to have a -year-old child And so here we are Julia Butters and Sophia Hammons who play Harper and Lily were both big fans of the original movie Julia Butters When I heard that they were making a sequel I was so excited because I couldn t wait to see it as a fan But I also couldn t wait to be a part of it when I uncovered out that that was manageable Sophia Hammons I required to be in on it so bad Really the only reason I had even heard about it was because one of my friends was auditioning for it and I was like oh my gosh I need to audition for it When we first met Lindsay s character Anna she was a moody teenager Now she s all grown up and dealing with grown up things like planning her own wedding Thankfully getting back in character was the easy part Lindsay Lohan Slipping back into the role of Anna felt very settled for me because I ve also aged with Anna as the character So it was easy for me to relate to who she is in the modern day especially being a mom So it came more naturally than I expected Another thing that comes naturally Her relationship with Jamie Lee They ve stayed close over the years Jamie Lee Curtis We ve known each other and seen each other for a long time But more than anything I think we both know that we care about each other that we trust and are safe with each other
