Movies about body swaps , silly as they often are, speak to several ideas that at the core of human existence. What is the self? Is there a human soul? How would I react if I had a double who looked like me but with someone else’s consciousness? What would happen if a teenager told you she was actually Jamie Lee Curtis in a high school girl’s body? Stuff like that.
The new Freaky Friday sequel Freakier Friday doubles the doubling theme of the original film. Now in addition to Curtis and Lindsay Lohan , there is a new generation of young women who they swap brains with — in other words, you’ve got four women of various ages all switching places. (The new cast additions are played by Julia Butters and Sophia Hammons.)
