Our take
Freakier Friday is rated PG for thematic elements, rude humor, language, and some suggestive references. The sequel brings back mother-daughter body-swap chaos with wedding planning, teen dating jokes, and mild profanity. Dialogue mentions wine, therapist banter, and body-image song lyrics. A step up from G-rated family fare but still aimed at tweens and parents
Uplifting themes
Empathy, family communication, and seeing life from another view Mother and daughter learn to listen and support each other
Story (may spoil tone)
Years after Tess and Anna endured an identity crisis, Anna now has a daughter of her own and a soon-to-be stepdaughter. As they navigate the myriad challenges that come when two families merge, Tess and Anna discover lightning might indeed strike twice.
