Words Aaron Potter

Freaky Friday released at the peak of Lindsay Lohan’s powers, cementing her status as a teen comedy icon along with Mean Girls. Her body-swapping antics with the legendary Jamie Lee Curtis, as Anna and Tess Coleman, shot the film to cult-classic status. The world is long overdue a sequel.

The beloved mother and daughter duo are shifting personalities all over again in an even Freakier Friday – one that brings more family members into the mix.

The follow-up centres on Anna’s daughter and soon-to-be stepdaughter, played by Julia Butters and newcomer Sophia Hammons respectively. Like mother, like daughter: the girls wake up one day trapped in the bodies of their mother and grandmother. Getting through the day and reversing the spell means masquerading as adults for them, while giving Anna and Tess the chance to relive their teenage years – complete with all the outlandish chaos, hilarity, and unexpected life lessons that come with it.

But with Anna now in her late thirties and Tess a sixty-something, today’s teenage experience is very different to the ones they remember. Before the day is through, everyone will gain a fresh perspective on life across generations.

Doubling down on the identity-hopping madness and injecting a fresh, unexpected twist to the Freaky formula, Freakier Friday promises twice the fun while celebrating the value of seeing life through someone else’s eyes.

Body Swaps

Face/Off

John Woo's completely bonkers crime thriller sees John Travolta's FBI agent go undercover as his worst enemy by – you guessed it – taking his face off and putting Nicolas Cage's on. Both actors run riot aping each other's characters as a reult.

The Change-Up

Wishing they had each other's lives, Ryan Reynolds' playboy bachelor and Jason Bateman's overworked dad swap places. Along the way, both characters learn there's ups and downs to every life.

Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle

Another wild reboot of a childhood favourite some twenty years in the making follows a group of teenagers who get pulled into the dangerous video game world of Jumanji... and into the bodies of their mismatched avatars, played by Jack Black, Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, and Karen Gillan.
