Freakier Friday is a 2025 American fantasy comedy film directed by Nisha Ganatra and written by Jordan Weiss. Produced by Walt Disney Pictures, it serves as a sequel to Freaky Friday (2003), which was based on Mary Rodgers’s 1972 novel. This marks the seventh film in the long-running franchise.
Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan return as Tess and Anna Coleman, joined by many of the original cast including Mark Harmon, Chad Michael Murray, and Rosalind Chao. New cast members include Julia Butters, Sophia Hammons, Manny Jacinto, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, and Vanessa Bayer.
Set 22 years after the original body-swap chaos, the story follows Anna—now a mom—grappling with family life and a soon-to-be stepdaughter. When another magical twist of fate strikes, the Coleman family is once again forced to see life through someone else’s eyes.
Freakier Friday Age Rating
Freakier Friday is rated PG for thematic elements, rude humor, language, and some suggestive references. Below is a content breakdown to help parents understand what to expect.
Violence & Peril
There are no scenes of real violence. Any physical comedy (like tripping or falling) is cartoonish and played for laughs. A few tense moments arise from emotional family conflicts, but nothing frightening or intense.
Language
Mild and infrequent. Expect a few uses of light rude language or expressions like “shut up” or “freaking out,” but nothing offensive or harsh. The tone remains playful throughout.
Rude Humor & Suggestive References
The movie contains some silly and cheeky jokes. There are a few suggestive references, but they’re very subtle and likely to go over the heads of younger viewers. Most humor comes from mix-ups, embarrassing moments, and exaggerated reactions.
Thematic Elements
The film deals with family changes, identity, and learning to understand others. There are scenes about divorce, remarriage, and stepfamily adjustment, all handled in a heartfelt, age-appropriate way.
Is Freakier Friday Suitable for Kids?
Ages 5–8: Generally Suitable: Young kids may enjoy the funny moments, colorful visuals, and body-swap antics. Parents may want to explain the family dynamics and some of the more emotional themes, but there’s nothing too heavy or confusing.
Ages 9–12: Recommended: Tweens are likely to connect with the film’s themes about growing up, blended families, and feeling misunderstood. The humor is age-appropriate, and the message about empathy is clear and valuable.
Ages 13+: Very Suitable: Teens can enjoy the nostalgia, clever writing, and emotional moments. The movie provides a good blend of comedy and life lessons that resonate across generations.
What Parents Can Look Out For
