“Freakier Friday” isn’t so much a sequel to “Freaky Friday” as it is a career retrospective for Lindsay Lohan.

In the course of pulling off another body-switching story, director Nisha Ganatra manages to reference “Mean Girls,” “The Parent Trap” and “Freaky Friday” without really taxing Lohan.

Jamie Lee Curtis, as her mother, gets the real workout, throwing herself into the drag of a teenager, the plastic surgery of a real housewife and the mindset of a closet-based podcaster. She’s the reason to watch this. Lohan is merely an accessory to a series of social crimes.

As in the first film, there’s mystical body-swapping. Here, though, four females exchange identities (grandma, mom, daughter, soon-to-be-stepdaughter), making it increasingly difficult to remember who’s inhabiting what body.
