More than 20 years after the success of Freaky Friday, Disney has released an all-new sequel featuring the iconic duo of Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan. Directed by Nisha Ganatra, this new opus also introduces Julia Butters, Manny Jacinto and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, alongside other well-known figures from the first film. This time, the plot takes a multi-generational turn, exploring the challenges of a blended family and proving that some extraordinary experiences can be repeated.
Freaky Friday 2, encore dans la peau de ma mère will be shown on the big screen from August 6, 2025.
Synopsis: The story takes place many years after the Coleman family's identity crisis. Anna has become a mother in her own right. She has a daughter and is about to have a stepdaughter too. But as they face the myriad challenges of uniting two families, Tess and Anna discover that, against all odds, lightning really can strike twice in the same place...
With its blend of family comedy, fantasy andemotion, Freaky Friday 2, still in my mother's skin is aimed primarily at those nostalgic for the 2003 film, while seeking to win over a new generation. The themes of the blended family and intergenerational relations offer a modern touch, which could appeal to a family audience as well as fans of films such as Maman, j'ai raté l'avion or Le Père de la mariée.
The return of cult duo Jamie Lee Curtis / Lindsay Lohan is a major draw for fans, while new recruits such as Julia Butters(The Fabelmans) and Manny Jacinto(Star Wars: The Acolyte) could attract a younger audience. Those who appreciate humorous and emotional stories in a Disney setting accessible to all should find something to their liking. On the other hand, fans of more offbeat comedies or less family-oriented stories may be less interested.
By revisiting the cult concept of body switching, while adding a contemporary family dimension, Freaky Friday 2, still in my mother's skin could well be one of the must-see family comedies. With a returning cast and some promising new faces, this film relies on a winning recipe: a mix of nostalgia,humor andemotion, perfect for a cinema outing.
