The two are joined by the actors Sophia Hammons and Julia Butters to talk about their sequel to the 2003 mother-daughter body swap comedy.

The shifting values and vibes of different generations provide plenty of delicious fodder for Lohan and Curtis when they’re meant to be playing the young girls trapped in their bodies. I think my body might have levitated after hearing Lohan use the word “bet” in a sentence (the entire sentence being “bet”).

The returning stars of “Freaky Friday” approach this long-gestating sequel with the kind of genuine verve and joy too often missing from a franchise-crazed Hollywood.
