Скачать или смотреть Valerie M. Shares Her Take on the Antics in Freakier Friday

I'm confused by how I feel towards Freakier Friday. It has its good qualities that made me laugh, but other parts made me look away.

The storyline is about Harper (Julia Butters), a teenage girl having to deal with one of her worst enemies, Lily (Sophia Hammons), as her soon-to-be step sister. At her mother's bachelorette party, two palm readings lead them to switching bodies with Harper's mom Anna (Lindsay Lohan) and grandma Tess (Jamie Lee Curtis). With both vowing to break up their parents' engagement and upcoming wedding, we follow the girls as they try multiple ways to ruin that relationship.

This movie is a roller coaster in every way possible. From time to time, it feels like common sense just goes out the window. For example, it's as if Anna and Tess don't understand that nobody knows that Harper and Lily are in adult bodies now, so they don’t have to listen to anyone. Also, the jokes are sort of hit or miss. There are moments when I was barely able to hold back a laugh and other times that I looked away in embarrassment. None of this is enough to ruin the film, but one thing that does ruin the movie is Lily. Her character lacks any depth – she never really even attempts to apologize for what she does. Plus, all her supposedly smart comeback comments are just insults. It seems that the creators were going for a sassy character who is trying to cover-up her pain, but they ended up creating a mean girl who never needs to fix her mistakes because everyone immediately forgives her. I did enjoy the songs and I love the views of LA. The sets made me feel like the city is alive; it’s like the city is a character in the film in its own way. I love the way the colors pop out and make everything more vibrant. They don't dim even in more heartfelt scenes because the beauty of LA is always there, even in heartbreak, which is a beautiful idea.

The film’s message reminds us that what you want isn't always what you need, and sometimes changes are good. Note that there are suggestive jokes but nothing outright explicit.

I give Freakier Friday 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 12 to 18. It releases in theaters on August 8, 2025.
