Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

James Mottram

Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan reprise their roles from the 2003 body swap comedy Freaky Friday for this fun fairground-ride of a sequel. Now a single mother to Harper (Julia Butters), Anna (Lohan) is about to marry English ex-pat Eric (Manny Jacinto). However, there's family friction in the fact that Harper doesn't get along with Eric's daughter Lily (Sophia Hammons). After a visit to a fortune teller, bodies are swapped again, as Anna and Harper trade, as do Lily and Curtis's Tess. With the men - including Anna's ex, Jake (Chad Michael Murray) - blithely unaware, chaos ensues. Directed by Nisha Ganatra (The High Note), the film is ambitious in delivering a four-way body swap. While this does amp up the lunacy of the original, it is also the film's slight downfall. The performances aren't distinct enough (with the exception of the ever-reliable Curtis), and the payoff from all the identity confusion isn't as strong as it could be. Yet there are some very funny lines (generation-gap gags about Coldplay and Facebook), a bouncy soundtrack featuring the Spice Girls and Britney Spears, and a colourful, carefree vibe that ensures the film is still fun.
