On the subject of 2025 motion pictures on the way in which this summer season, I’ve been unabashedly excited for the launch of Freakier Friday, all whereas being concurrently suspicious it may disappoint me. I do know I’m going to see it it doesn’t matter what, however I’ve additionally been getting ready to be underwhelmed, particularly after studying that this time round Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis’s characters can be physique swapping with two teenagers moderately than with one another.
Nonetheless, the brand new trailer has melted away my previous worries.
The New Freakier Friday Trailer Lastly Actually Bought Me On The Sequel
Disney dropped a brand new trailer (which you’ll watch above) Friday morning, and it actually obtained me pumped for Freakier Friday. Whereas the primary Freaky Friday 2 trailer had me questioning why Jamie Lee Curtis appears to be like a lot like Laurie Strode from the Halloween motion pictures moderately than donning her character’s pixie haircut and mourning the duo not attending to play one another, this new take a look at the film has me feeling in another way.
I like that this trailer lastly makes the plotline rather a lot clearer. Lindsay Lohan’s Anne is about to get married to Manny Jacinto’s character and merge their households. Lohan has a teen daughter of her personal, Harper (Julia Butters), and Jacinto’s character has a teen daughter named Lily (Sophia Hammons), however they don’t get alongside.
So when a fortune teller places a brand new physique swap spell on them, the teenagers get positioned into the our bodies of Harper’s mother and grandmother, who need to use the chance to interrupt up their dad and mom.
Whereas the primary trailer made me really feel just like the physique swap factor was extra gimmicky than serving a narrative, this trailer positioned some stakes alongside the idea that I can undoubtedly get behind.
I’m All In On Lindsay Lohan And Jamie Lee Curtis’s Freakier Friday Antics
The standout scene for me is when we lastly find out how Chad Michael Murray’s Jake will get concerned within the story. The teenagers determine the way in which they’ll break up their dad and mom is to reunite Anne along with her past love. I used to be loving the second the place Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis are attempting to impress Jake, who appears to be like like he works at a document retailer, however he thinks she’s having a “stroke.”
Then once they tried to regroup, I believed it was hilarious that Lohan’s character was nervous they have been gone for too lengthy; he’d suppose she was pooping.
Oh, after which the half when the pair are speaking up a teen calling him “cute” earlier than an older man realizes he acknowledges Tess as his therapist? It is an important callback to the unique.
The brand new trailer (additionally on YouTube) has me recognizing all the small print and care being put into this sequel. Did you discover Curtis masking her face with a Britney Spears vinyl? It is an ideal easter egg for that scene when Jake sang “Hit Me Child (One Extra Time)” within the authentic.
It’s these sorts of teenage antics that really feel nostalgic and present why I like the unique, and have me prepared for all of the enjoyable forward when the movie comes out on August 8.
