Freakier Friday – a sequel to the 2003 film – sees Lindsay and Jamie embroiled in quadruple chaos as they swap bodies again – 22 years after they first traded places.
Lindsay was just 15 years old when she first portrayed Anna Coleman in Freaky Friday alongside Jamie Lee, who played her on-screen mother Tess Coleman.
It follows the bickering mother and daughter after a Chinese restaurant fortune cookie mishap causes them to switch bodies, forcing them to live the other’s life.
Despite barely having been able to see eye-to-eye, the magical switch eventually allows them to see things from the other’s point of view.
The sequel will see the iconic pairing switch places once again, though this time there is quadruple chaos in store.
Anna (Lindsay) is preparing to tie the knot with to Eric Davies (Manny Jacinto), but things are proving difficult as her teenage daughter Harper (Julia Butters) despises Eric’s teenager Lily (Sophia Hammons).
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 learn another lesson by ‘walking in each other’s paths’.
Fans had an agonising wait for a sequel as Freakier Friday is only now hitting cinemas 22 years later
Anna and Tess then 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 to go until the wedding.
Chad Michael Murray is also returning to his role as Jake as the two teenage girls also hatch a plot to try and get Anna to reunite with her first love amid the wedding chaos.
