Maureen Lee Lenker · Entertainment Weekly 91.00/100.00

What makes Freakier Friday so special is that amid the laugh-out-loud humor and welcome fan service, there's also a beautiful film here about parenting, coming-of-age, loneliness, grief, loss, and sacrifice.

Alonso Duralde · The Film Verdict 85.00/100.00

Between Lohan’s impressive return to the movies and Curtis’ defiance of the Best Supporting Oscar curse, Freakier Friday represents an all-too-rare opportunity for talented women on both sides of the camera to demonstrate their chops at big-screen comedy. Long may they freak.

Rachel LaBonte · Screen Rant 80.00/100.00

The jokes fly and mostly land, though that's largely thanks to the skill of the cast.

Cynthia Vinney · Looper 80.00/100.00

Overall, this is a comedy that doesn't skimp on the sentimental stuff, although it never comes off as cloying or overly sweet.

Kevin Maher · The Times 80.00/100.00

There’s more of everything. More narrative convolutions, more subplots, more supporting characters, more one-liners, more slapstick, more musical interludes, and even more tear-jerking finales.

Isabella Soares · Collider 90.00/100.00

Everyone you'd hoped to see is here, the chemistry between Lohan and Curtis is still spot on, and the new additions to the ensemble don't detract from the narrative that won us over two decades ago.

Kate Erbland · IndieWire 83.00/100.00

Leave it to Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan to crack the code as to what makes a good legacyquel, which they’ve done quite handily with their long-gestating Freaky Friday sequel, Nisha Ganatra’s charming and quite fun Freakier Friday. The secret? Fittingly enough, it harkens back to exactly what Curtis and Lohan brought to Mark Waters’ 2003 Freaky Friday: actual verve, obvious joy, and performances that are about three times better than they need to be.

William Bibbiani · TheWrap 80.00/100.00

It’s still sweet, it’s still funny, it’s still freaky, and it’s still Friday. Thank God.

Francesca Steele · i 80.00/100.00

There’s nothing new here and also a palpable reliance on enduring goodwill from the franchise’s existing fanbase, but honestly it doesn’t really matter. This is all such undemanding, carefree fun, delivering exactly what it promised, and simple without ever becoming simplistic.

Ethan Anderton · Slashfilm 80.00/100.00

When it comes down to it, Freakier Friday is lively, fun, charming, and just plain delightful.
