Jamie Lee Curtis is just not a fan of “Freakier Friday” slander. On Friday, the actress responded to Time’s assessment of the sequel to the unique 2003 movie and sharply famous, “SEEMS a TAD HARSH. SOME individuals LOVE it. Me being one.”
The assessment in query was certainly titled: “‘Freakier Friday’ Is Humiliating to Everybody Concerned.”
“Nobody, so far as we all know, truly requested Disney for a sequel to 2003’s buoyant, surprisingly unsyrupy generation-gap comedy ‘Freaky Friday,’” Stephanie Zacharek wrote for the outlet. However in an interview with The Occasions printed in July, Curtis herself straight contradicted that assertion.
“In each single metropolis I went to, the one film they requested me about in addition to ‘Halloween’ was ‘Freaky Friday’ – was there going to be a sequel?” she mentioned. Curtis then known as up Bob Iger, CEO of Disney, and instructed him what she’d skilled.
“I mentioned: ‘Look, I don’t know for those who’re planning on doing [a sequel], however Lindsay is sufficiently old to have a youngster now, and I’m telling you the marketplace for that film exists.’”
The film reunites Curtis with Lindsay Lohan, her co-star from the unique movie. Within the first, Curtis and Lohan (taking part in a mom and daughter) swapped our bodies and ended up studying rather a lot about each other. Within the follow-up, Lohan’s character is now a mother with a teen of her personal — and a possible stepdaughter who’s her personal baby’s mortal enemy.
The foursome find yourself swapping our bodies, a plot level that ends in some good, old school enjoyable on the films (and typically that’s precisely what you want).
“There’s a elementary kindness to the ‘Freaky Friday’ movies, a reassuring perception within the significance of empathy and communication,’” TheWrap’s William Bibbiani wrote in our assessment. “Marrying that sentiment to a whimsical want success fantasy about being a child once more or, conversely, having all the ability of a full-grown grownup, is extraordinarily interesting.”
“Freakier Friday” is now taking part in in theaters.
