Freakier Friday is the 2025 follow-up to the 2003 Disney film, Freaky Friday, which starred Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan as a mother and teen daughter who swap bodies. The sequel hit theatres this month, and it's an absolute treat for Millennials.
The new film marks the long-awaited career resurgence of Lohan. The former child star has been dipping her toe back into acting in recent years, thanks to Netflix's slate of original rom-coms. Freakier Friday is the first time Lohan has starred in a theatrical release in over a decade.
Between watching Lohan thrive and the return of the Y2K aesthetic, Freakier Friday was made to please those who came of age in the 2000s. Not only is the film filled with nostalgia, but it's just plain good. It is "Certified Fresh" on Rotten Tomatoes, earned an A CinemaScore, and made back its budget in three days.
