Social media platforms are abuzz with positive feedback, underscoring the film’s immediate impact.

Entertainment journalist Brandon Davis joined the chorus of acclaim, describing his experience at a Tuesday night premiere as “howling” with laughter. He highlighted Jamie Lee Curtis’s performance, noting she “is having the time of her life and it’s a blast to watch.”

Lohan and Curtis reprise their iconic mother-daughter roles, joined by a new cast including Julia Butters, Sophia Hammons, Manny Jacinto, Mark Harmon, Chad Michael Murray, and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan. The overwhelming early reception suggests “Freakier Friday” is poised to be a major hit, delivering both hilarity and emotional depth to audiences.
