Freakier Friday: parents' guide

Name: Freakier Friday
Released: 2025

8+our pick

Best for ages 8 and up. Rated PG for thematic elements, rude humor, language and some suggestive references.

A cheerful, chaotic sequel that families with kids about 8 and up can enjoy together, this time swapping four bodies: mom Anna with her teen daughter, and grandmother Tess with the teen who is about to become Anna's stepdaughter. The girls scheme to stop the wedding. Expect slapstick, a school food fight, an allergic reaction that brings an ambulance, flirting and kisses, and mild words like "damn" and "badass." The soon-to-be stepdaughter lost her mother, and blended-family grief runs gently under the jokes.

What's in it

Violence

Mild

Comic chaos: pratfalls, scooter crashes, a chemistry lab foam explosion and a schoolwide food fight with shoving. A pie in the face sets off a principal's allergy; an ambulance is called and she recovers.

Language

Mild

Mild: "damn," "badass," single uses of "ass" and "piss," several "bloody"s, insults like "dipstick" and "idiot," a cut-off "Mother..." and a handful of "oh my God" exclamations.

Sex and nudity

Mild

Couples share brief kisses. A teen in her mom's body flirts over the top with her mom's old flame, characters grab chests and rears for laughs, outfits show cleavage, and a tango lesson brings pelvic jokes.

Drinking, drugs and smoking

Mild

Adults drink wine at dinners and parties. Teens stuck in adult bodies drink happily until others take the glasses away, and the moms stuck in teen bodies are seen with what looks like wine. No one gets drunk.

Scary or intense scenes

Mild

Little to fear: earthquakes signal each swap, a fortune teller's trance and a trippy swap sequence are mildly eerie, and the allergic reaction is brief. A lost mother is mourned gently.

Sensitive topics

Death of a parent

Worth talking about

Harper and Lily fight the new family because it means change and loss. What makes blending families hard, and what helps people adjust?
