Jamie Lee Curtis has denounced negative reviews of her new film, “Freakier Friday.”
After Time Magazine, film critic Stephanie Zacharek featured the sequel to her beloved 2003 film (In Theaters Now), and the Oscar winner denounced the reviewers’ opinions.
The August 8 caption said Zacharek said “As far as we know, everyone actually wrote Disney about a sequel to Freaky Friday, a buoyant, surprisingly shrupee-free generation gap comedy from 2003.
While fashion designer Brandon Maxwell defended the film in comments and wrote, “I really liked this movie,” online travel agency Expedia wrote that Zacharek reviews “sounds like someone needs a vacation.”
The new film was picked up for more than 20 years after Anna Coleman (Lindsay Lohan) swapped her body with her mother psychologist Tess Coleman (Curtis).
This time, Anna is the mother of her own teenage daughter, Harper Coleman (Julia Butters). And Tess is currently a podcast host and is beating her grandmother. Chad Michael Murray recreates his role as Jake, a motorcycle riding a heartbeat. In her review, Zacharek also wrote that the sequel is “a film that humiliates everyone.”
“And it appears to exist primarily for one reason: the sequel glyfts the affection that many adults have the original, despite the lack of the refreshing, observational appeal of the photograph,” she added.
In a recent interview with USA Today, the 66-year-old Curtis was opened up about returning to her patriarchal character over 20 years later.
“There was no way I couldn’t make a sequel to “Freaky Friday” until Lindsay (39) was old enough to become a 15-year-old mother,” Curtis said. “So this just took time to cook.”
Curtis realized that Lohan finally fell into the role during the release of 2022’s “Halloween End.” “I relied on my fingers. “I think she was 35 at the time. ‘Yeah, wait a minute! She was able to have a baby at 20!”
“I picked up the phone and called (Disney CEO) Bob Iger and revealed, “I’m just letting people know that I was all over the world, and all people want to know is there’s a ‘Strange Friday’ (sequel) and that Lindsay is old enough to turn 15,” Curtis revealed.
