I love weddings. And if 2003’s Freaky Friday and its sequel Freakier Friday have taught me anything, it’s that body swaps tend to happen in the leadup to a wedding. So do I have a little switcheroo to look forward to in my own matrimonial future? Perhaps. Does a new stepparent situation need to also be part of the mix? That’s what these movies seem to imply, but there are surely other valuable lessons that could be learned from changing perspectives like this. Anyway, body swapping right before a wedding might sound fun, but the reality is that I’d probably be too busy with last-minute wedding prep for the experience to be fully satisfying. (Even if I were just a passive observer and not one of the swappers!) But I’m glad that Freakier Friday has shown us another way that it might go down. Jamie Lee Curtis is still having the time of her life!
Grade: More Frothy Than Freaky, as Per Usual (But That’s Okay)
