Freaky Friday (2003) – Body Swap Comedy, Jamie Lee Curtis & Disney Nostalgia

“Oh, I’m like the Cryptkeeper!”
August is here, and that means it’s time to dig into the infamous “Dumping Ground” Month—a time when studios release movies that don’t fit anywhere else… but sometimes, they’re absolute gems.
This week, Henrique and David head to sunny California to revisit a body-swap comedy favorite that’s now getting a long-awaited sequel: Freaky Friday (2003)!
When Tess and her rebellious daughter Anna suddenly switch bodies due to a mystical mishap, they’re forced to literally walk in each other’s shoes and learn to understand one another. Chaos, comedy, and a surprising amount of heart follow in this Disney remake classic.
