Harper highlights her disgust as she’s heard reciting mock wedding vows, in which she brands her soon-to-be step-sister ‘a little demon thing with an obnoxious accent’.

A flash forward to Anna’s bachelorette party sees her and mother Tess Coleman sit down with a fortune teller (Vanessa Bayer), who warns them they may yet learn another lesson by ‘walking in each other’s paths’ after noting that the warring teens  ‘are called to be family’.

With the fortune teller’s words ‘Change the hearts you know are wrong, to reach the place where you belong’ ringing out ominously, Anna and Tess find themselves caught up in yet another ‘freaky’ body swap incident – only this time, it’s not just between the two of them.

The next morning, Anna discovers she’s swapped bodies with daughter Harper, while Tess aka ‘Grandma’ is now in the body of Anna’s step-daughter Lily.

Quadruple chaos then ensues as the foursome try to navigate their new roles with just days before the wedding.

Meanwhile, the drama further escalates with the teen girls hatching a plan to break their parents up for good by attempting to get Anna to reunite with her first love Jake (Chad Michael Murray). 

Late last year in November, Lindsay appeared on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon and reflected on reprising her role of Anna alongside Curtis in the sequel. 

‘It’s just been such a labor of love to make happen,’ she gushed. ‘Jamie [Lee Curtis] and I… even at the table read, we were just smiling so big that we couldn’t…

‘I don’t think we were acting well because we were so happy. But the movie’s funny – it’s really funny,’ the Mean Girls actress added. 

And last year in September, Jamie also opened up about acting with Lohan once again during an interview with Extra. 

‘So fun. We just did it this summer… We came together for 42 days and just laughed a lot, cried a lot,’ she said at the time. 

‘It’s a four-way switch… so it was intense. We have these two young beautiful actors with us, so I think you guys are going to love it.’

The actress continued, ‘It’s joyful, you know, it’s a movie that people love and people are going to love this.’ 

Lohan also confirmed that her band Pink Slip from the original 2003 movie is also set return in the sequel. 

While talking to IMDB, the mother-of-one discussed reprising her role and said, ‘It feels like a rhythm that never stopped.

‘Pink Slip is returning in full force with a lot of love in their hearts. And it’s so much fun. And it feels like the band never left each other.’ 

Curtis also shared, ‘The movie is just freakier in all aspects. It’s funnier, and there’s more physical comedy. The switches are freakier. This one has more swapping.’

Freaky Friday (2003) earned positive reviews from critics upon its release and earned Curtis a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. 

The movie also raked in $160.8 million in the box office on a budget of $26 million. 

Meanwhile, while Lindsay and Jamie are thrilled to return to the franchise, there was one star who wasn’t so keen.

In April, the director of the upcoming ‘Freaky Friday’ sequel revealed she ‘begged’ Jodie Foster for a nostalgic cameo, but the star refused. 

Jodie, 66, originated the role in the 1976 Freaky Friday that launched the franchise.
