'Freakier Friday' Review: Disney's Body-Swapping Sequel Really Rocks

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-12-08 11:29:06

For me, watching Freakier Friday -- the new sequel to the 2003 body-switch comedy starring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis -- led to a change in perspective: I was now a fan of two Freaky Friday movies headlined by Lohan and Curtis. From Curtis' nostalgic and still-hilarious portrayal of waking up as a 15-year-old inhabiting her step-grandmother's body to entertaining scenes with a job-switching fortune teller (Saturday Night Live alum Vanessa Bayer), the sequel offers wacky and laugh-out-lo

This Bird App Has Grounded Me in the Present More Than My Meditation Apps

Being mindful of our current thoughts, feelings and surroundings can be a challenge, especially in modern times. I, personally, find it difficult to ground myself in the present and have often tried using meditation apps to help. However, the app that has given me the most success when it comes to being mindful and present isn't one for breathing exercises or mental health but one for identifying the birds around me.

But if you’ve been waiting for new minisodes or a new season, this is not it.

‘Freakier Friday’ Barely Scrapes By on Its Nostalgic Charms

gizmodo.com Sabina Graves 2025-12-11 17:15:29

Freaky Friday is back after over two decades since we last saw Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan swap bodies thanks to a suitably freaky family curse. However, Disney’s new follow-up, in theaters this week, leaning heavily on the charms of a stellar ensemble, is a sequel constantly threatening to fall apart under the weight of uneven execution. In Freaky Friday, it was just mother Tess Coleman (Curtis) and her daughter Anna (Lohan) who swapped bodies, a kooky way for mother and child to better

Sumerian myth The Descent of Inanna into the Underworld (or, in its Akkadian version, Descent of Ishtar into the Underworld) or Angalta ("From the Great Sky") is a Sumerian myth that narrates the descent of the goddess Inanna (Ishtar in Akkadian) into the Underworld to overthrow its ruler, her sister Ereshkigal, the "Queen of the Dead."
