“Oh, I’m like the Cryptkeeper!” August is here, and that means it’s time to dig into the infamous
“Dumping Ground” Month—a time when studios release movies that don’t fit anywhere else… but sometimes,
they’re absolute gems.
This week, Henrique and David head to
sunny California to revisit a
body-swap comedy favorite that’s now getting a long-awaited sequel:
Freaky Friday (2003)!
When
Tess and her rebellious daughter
Anna suddenly switch bodies due to a mystical mishap, they’re forced to literally walk in each other’s shoes and learn to understand one another. Chaos, comedy, and a surprising amount of heart follow in this
Disney remake classic.
Directed by
Mark Waters, and starring
Jamie Lee Curtis,
Lindsay Lohan, and
Mark Harmon, this version of
Freaky Friday became a defining film for a generation—and now, a sequel is on the way!
