Freakier Friday hits cinemas next week and critics have provided their first reactions.

The first Freaky Friday movie, itself a remake of the 1976 movie of the same name, was a smash hit, grossing $160 million worldwide.

It starred Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan as a mother and daughter who swap bodies.

Twenty-two years later, the pair return for Freakier Friday for more body-swapping fun. The official synopsis reads:

'Tess and Anna discover that lightning may indeed strike twice as they navigate the myriad challenges that come when two families merge.'
 
 

Freakier Friday reviews and reactions

Here's what the critics have been saying.
 
"Freakier Friday is double the fun and twice the sweetness as the original! These 22 years later, Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis haven't missed a beat! Their on-screen chemistry is truly something special. A true delight that the entire family will enjoy!" - TV host Jeff Conway.
 
"Freakier Friday is an absolute riot! I laughed and I cried. It's such a great feel-good film. Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis deliver hilarity and emotion in this funtastic sequel. I never knew I needed this film! Oh, and Manny Jacinto, I love him."  Jazz Tangcay of Variety.
 
"Freakier Friday is great. I was howling. Jamie Lee Curtis is having the time of her life, and it's a blast to watch. It's silly and sometimes confusing, but hilarious throughout, even touching at times. Absolutely some of the most fun I've had watching a movie this year." - Podcast host Brandon Davis.
 
"Even though the body-swap genre’s been played out, Freakier Friday is a silly, feel-good romp that’s got some heart to it. The cast are game, familiar faces pop up, and with some catchy new tunes, I can’t imagine FF fans won’t shed a nostalgic tear of joy for Freakier Friday." - Chris Killian of ComicBook.com.
 
“Pause and Reset…the #freakquel has arrived! Baby, how I hollered and laughed out loud at Jaime Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan in this film was insanely embarrassing! Nisha Ganatra and writers got this one ALL THE WAY RIGHT! Go see it like yesterday!" - Carla Renata of The Curvy Film Critic.
