FREAKIER FRIDAY – Review by Julia Swift

Julia Swift , , , , ,

Freakier Friday brings a wave of nostalgia, laughter, and heartfelt storytelling. Light, fun, and expertly crafted, this sequel is poised to delight audiences of all ages. Especially those who hold the original close to their hearts. Grab your friends, your mom, your daughter and head to the theater. You will laugh. You might even cry. If Freakier Friday is a runaway hit, we may get more opportunities to feel the community of women laughing together in a crowded theater, bonding as we walk into the lobby, and maybe even admitting that some sequels are worth it.

FREAKIER FRIDAY – Review by Valerie Kalfrin

Valerie Kalfrin , , , , ,

Jamie Lee Curtis is a comedic treasure. In the family film Freakier Friday, she eyes drugstore “senior products” with horror, wails over wrinkles and having “no lips,” gulps ugly tears, and bemoans knees not moving as fast as her mind wants. Channeling a teenager who finds her mind plopped inside the body of a suburban grandma, the sixty-six-year-old Oscar-winner is game and gloriously endearing. The film itself is funny and charming, too.

IRISH WISH – Review by Valerie Kalfrin

Valerie Kalfrin , , , ,

A cute romantic comedy is like a warm blanket—or in the case of Irish Wish, a cozy pub with lively Celtic music, darts, dancing, and a pint or two. Dropping on Netflix in time for St. Patrick’s Day, Irish Wish stars Lindsay Lohan (Falling for Christmas) in endearing pratfall mode falling in love against the breathtaking scenery of the Emerald Isle. OK, so she falls for an Englishman. When a romantic comedy lilts along like it should, who can quibble?
