Things are getting freaky! Freakier Friday, the sequel to 2003’s Freaky Friday, is now in theaters.
The body swap concept of Freaky Friday has been huge for a long time, ever for the reason that original novel by Mary Rodgers hit bookshelves in 1972.
From Jodie Foster to Jamie Lee Curtis, a wide range of actors have embodied the story of a mother and daughter who switch places and learn to grasp one another.
So, what number of Freaky Friday movies are there — and where are you able to watch them? Watch With Us has the small print on all of the movies within the franchise.
‘Freaky Friday’ (1976)
The unique movie version of Freaky Friday stars Barbara Harris as Ellen Andrews and Jodie Foster as her daughter Annabel Andrews. This movie spawned two made-for-TV sequels about other members of the Andrews family.
The primary, Summer Switch (1984), follows an analogous premise by which Annabel’s dad, Bill Andrews (Robert Klein), switches places with son Ben (Scott Schwartz).
Within the second made-for-TV film, A Billion for Boris, Seth Green plays Annabel’s younger brother Ben, while Scott Tiler plays Annabel’s boyfriend Boris. The trio discovers that their television is broadcasting news from the long run, which they fight to make use of to get wealthy.
Stream the unique Freaky Friday on Disney+ and Hulu. The TV sequels aren’t available to stream or purchase.
‘Freaky Friday’ (1995)
One other made-for-TV version of the story, this movie stars Cheers’ Shelley Long and child star Gaby Hoffman of Field of Dreams and Sleepless in Seattle.
On this version, a pair of magical amulets is the reason behind their switch. The 1995 version of Freaky Friday will not be currently available for streaming or rental, but you will discover a bootleg version of it on YouTube.
‘Freaky Friday’ (2003)
This 2003 version of the story deviates substantially from the unique by making Anna’s (Lindsay Lohan) mother Tess (Jamie Lee Curtis) a widow who’s about to get remarried.
This adds some higher stakes to the body swap, as they need to determine tips on how to switch back before Tess’s wedding to Ryan (Mark Harmon). Chad Michael Murray also stars as Anna’s love interest, Jake. The 2003 version is the one getting the sequel treatment via Freakier Friday.
The 2003 remake of Freaky Friday is streaming on Disney+.
‘Freaky Friday’ (2018)
This version of Freaky Friday is a musical! It follows the mother-daughter duo Katherine (Heidi Blickenstaff) and Ellie (Cozi Zuehlsdorff).
On this version, a magical hourglass causes Ellie and Katherine to modify bodies. The musical has some great tunes and definitely lives as much as the spirit of the unique.
