The new movie "Freakier Friday", the sequel to "Freaky Friday" released in 2003, is one of those bad movies that you are embarrassed to tell people you actually saw. I only saw this movie because the theater for the film I wanted to see had a broken projector, so I sat through this horrendous waste of two hours for this blog.
This entire story about people who swap bodies was so poorly done that for most of the movie, you are trying to figure out who swapped into who, all along hoping that this nightmare would be over soon. There is a series of filler side stories, entirely designed to make this movie last two hours, where the goal should have been to end this mess in 80 minutes.
Freakier Friday stars the same two main actors from the previous movie, Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan as Tess Coleman and Anna Coleman, and two new characters who are also swapped, Julia Butters and Sophia Hammons, who play Harper Coleman and Lily Reyes. After the initial screaming scene where they all found out they were swapped, it seemed that the swapping after effects were ignored in favor of other stories to fill out the two hours. It's hard to believe that a bad movie from 2003 was greenlit for a sequel 22 years later. With millions of dollars at stake, what were the producers thinking with this disaster?
The Rotten Tomatoes average rating of 73% is way too high with my rating 10% and a run from this mess at all costs recommendation.
