Long after Disney’s FREAKY FRIDAY hit screens, the House of Mouse is back with a sequel. FREAKIER FRIDAY. Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan are back but this time it’s a double switch. Fans of the original should enjoy this new switcheroo, with plenty of teen in the adult body and adult in the teen body farce humor and ample jokes, and a nice performances from the stars of the first one. Even if you aren’t particularly fan of the first one, Jamie Lee Curtis brings a lot of goofy humor to deliver some smiles, aided by a script that keeps things fun without going too absurd with the already absurd premise.

A quick recap: in the original, Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan played a battling mother and teen-aged daughter who magically switch bodies, letting each see other’s point-of-view by walking around in the other’s shoes – quite literally. In Disney’s new fantasy comedy sequel, Curtis and Lohan are back as mother-and-daughter duo, Tess and Anna Coleman, but it is the teen-aged daughter of the now-grown Anna (Lohan) who is causing trouble. Anna is planning to marry hot British chef Eric Reyes (Manny Jacinto) but daughter Harper (Julia Butters) is rebelling because 1) the couple plan to relocate the family to Britain, and 2) Harper’s school enemy is Eric’s snooty daughter Lily (Sophia Hammons. The prospect of both having her hated rival as a stepsister and being isolated from Southern California and surfing in not-so-jolly old London is just too much for Harper. Harper and Lily, who agree that they don’t want to be sisters but disagree about the plan to move to London, come together to take action. At a pre-wedding party, the girls encounter a psychic, Madame Jen (a funny Vanessa Bayer) with a million side hustles, who agrees to help, but instead weaves her magic to pull another body switcheroo, without telling them and leaving them with a cryptic phrase, about reaching peace (or at least agreement), in order to switch back.

Silly comedy ensues, with director Nisha Ganatra keeping things moving along, and scriptwriter Jordan Weiss supplying plenty of jokes. The sequel is less messaging about understanding between generations, and more focused on just plain fun and silliness. The humor is mostly farcical and slapstick, with the young pair in the older bodies and adults in the younger bodies as parallel comedy shows. The 15-year-olds are horrified to find themselves in “old bodies,” with wrinkles and sags, particularly fashion-obsessed, would-be designer Lily, who is now in Curtis’ Grandma Tess’ body. The girls have to deal with knees that don’t work, and with Anna’s job obligation’s as manager of pop star Ella (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan), who is enduring a painful romantic break-up as she it launching a new album. On the other hand, it’s not all bad since the teens can now do adult things, like order drinks and drive – at least when they are out of sight of the adults who are now in their teen bodies.

Likewise, Anna and Tess have a little fun, eating forbidden treats without digestive payback pain, and falling without breaking anything, while trying to keep track of the newly-liberated teens, as they try to damage control while figuring out how to get things back to normal.

Jamie Lee Curtis pretty much makes this film, milking all that silly stuff like the pro she is. Curtis and Lindsay Lohan are the best part of the film, and have fun with it all, with Curtis chewing scenery with abandon (and stay for the outtakes at the end for more of that). Julia Butters and Sophia Hammons do fine too, handling their silly stuff and teen drama and tantrums well. Manny Jacinto as fiance Eric and Mark Harmon as Tess’ husband have little to do, but Vanessa Bayer adds a few extra laughs as the goofy psychic with multiple jobs pops up unexpectedly from time to time. The only side plot that falls a bit flat is the one about broken-hearted pop star Ella, as Ramakrishnan is rather unconvincing as a pop princess, although the side story gives Lohan a little chance to rock out.

Overall, FREAKIER FRIDAY is a somewhat funny, generally painless sequel to the 2003 Disney original, a sequel whose greatest comic asset is Jamie Lee Curtis. The audience who will enjoy this sequel to most are fans of the original, but Jamie Lee Curtis makes it a bit fun for anyone.

THE LAST SHOWGIRL – Review

Posted on by

This weekend’s new film release builds on an interesting trend from 2024. Though it’s not something embraced by major studios, like the deep dive into movie riffs on popular toys and video games, it’s proving to be an awards showcase for the “indie upstarts”. I’m writing of the new venues for the often neglected (by studio execs) bombshell superstar actresses from a few decades ago. Often they’re banished to straight-to-video (now streaming) sex or horror “potboilers”, or sent to be supporting players on series TV. Just a few months ago, cinephiles were stunned by the outrageous satire of THE SUBSTANCE and embraced the courageous, and meta (spoofing lots of old tabloid “fodder”) performance of its lead, Demi Moore (who is now a big Oscar “front-runner” after her Golden Globe win and touching acceptance speech). Historians can point to the brief spate of mature actress thrillers from the early 1960s (WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE and its ilk) as an inspiration for that film. Well, the other actress getting some awards love for a much more restrained story, but with a similar modern-day “pathos” and drama, is Pamela Anderson, who could very well claim the title of THE LAST SHOWGIRL.

The story opens up (after a brief “flash forward”) on Anderson as Shelly, the reigning “queen” of the long-running casino show “Razzle Dazzle”, as she hurries through a quick costume change and tries to trudge up the stairs to the stage without damaging all the sequins and feathers of her towering tiara. As the show’s producer, Eddie (Dave Bautista) bids goodnight over the intercom speakers, Shelly invites her younger co-stars, Mary-Anne (Brenda Song) and Jodie (Kiernan Shipka) over to her modest home for a BBQ Lunch on their “off” day. Joining them, along with Eddie, is a former showgirl now casino waitress, the acerbic Annette (Jamie Lee Curtis). Their high spirits are dampened by the mention of a rumor that the new owners of the casino will close the RD show and replace it with something younger and “edgier”. Shelly dismisses this as nonsense until the formal notices come down from “on high”. Only a dozen or so shows remain before the dwindling audiences. While Mary-Anne and Jodie scramble to find a new “gig”, Shelly wonders if she can stay relevant while also reflecting on her past glories. This prompts her to reach out to the daughter that she gave up for adoption many years ago, Hannah (Billie Lourd). Though the relationship is strained, they finally reconnect. As the final show looms, Shelly tries to repair that parental bond, while pondering her future in a world that doesn’t seem to have any need of her style of glamour and glitz anymore.

After being largely absent from view, aside from some cameos and a stint on Broadway in “Chicago”, Ms. Anderson commands the big screen with a remarkable nuanced performance as the sweet on the outside but hauntingly sad inside Shelly. At first glance, she may seem a bit ditzy and distracted, but as the story progresses we realize that she’s emotionally floundering, searching for any life preserver, as the vessel that is her existence is slowly sinking (and picking up speed into the depths of despair). As she nears her final “runway walk” she blocks any feelings of regret, proudly defending her choices to continue her “craft”. It all culminates in a heart-wrenching audition sequence in which Anderson summons her inner strength, demanding to be seen and not dismissed into the shadows of yesteryear. At times Shelly frustrates, but Anderson compels us to root for her, even as her reality cracks and crumbles. She gets great support in another mesmerizing turn from Curtis as her BFF Annette who has escaped the “stage game”, though she secretly yearns for the adoration of the audience, while also trying to shake up Shelly to face the choices still left to her. Song is solid as the more aggressive and world-weary “show sister” while Shipka is full of wide-eyed hope and hustle as the newbie will land on her “high heels” and conform to any demands of the market. Also well cast is Lourd as the estranged daughter who mixes her anger at her mother for being “cast off” with a general snarky disdain for the family “business”. The other big casting “against type” surprise is Bautista as the soft-spoken, brusque but still concerned Eddie, who hides a history with his girls and wants to help but is also looking to serve and please his new casino masters. And big kudos go to the small, almost a cameo, role of the shadowy audition director who is given a condescending venomous bite by Jason Schwartzman, as he delivers a “wake up” call with the violence of a swift “gut punch”.

Director Gia Coppola is a terrific addition to her family’s filmmaking dynasty by giving us a very tough, unflinching profile of a woman clinging to past glory as the world around her undergoes a seismic cultural shift. Working from the well-researched, emotionally intimate screenplay by Kate Gersten, Ms. Coppola gives us a “fly on the wall” look at the showier aspect of the service biz in Sin City. Full disclosure: I lived and worked in Vegas thirty years ago just as they were shifting from “family fun” to “adults-only playground”, so I recognized that air of sunbaked desperation that wafts over the street “buskers” and casino crews wondering if they can survive the next corporate “facelift” of the strip. Coppola and Gersten captured that panic to stay trendy and relevant as the tour groups and high-rolling “whales” were tiring of the traditional “main room” sparkly “t&a” two-drink minimum extravaganzas. The bonding of Shelly and her castmates feels almost like those of soldiers in the trenches awaiting the final charge (but here it’s a last show). My only complaint is that there are too many stretches and montage sequences of Shelly wandering past the employee casino entrances, perhaps as she recalls past encounters, but it’s unneeded “padding”. That’s a slight qualm as this is a most engaging look at a quickly disappearing legacy (Vegas cares little about its history), and s stellar acting triumph from Anderson, who dazzles in and out of the sequins and feathers, as THE LAST SHOWGIRL. “Places please, places…”

HAUNTED MANSION – Review

Posted on by

And the Summer of product adaptations and remakes continues! Last weekend BARBIE just about blew the doors off the box office and the multiplex in a virtual tsunami of pink perfection. Hey, if a toy can revive the ticket sale doldrums, why not a flick based on a ride from the Disney theme parks? After all, those Caribbean Pirates spurred quite a profitable “tentpole” for the studio. But then there were costly flops like TOMORROWLAND and who remembers THE COUNTRY BEARS (maybe they just needed that “nose candy”). Well, this concept was exploited nearly twenty years ago, so this is also, technically, a remake (without any of the main human characters from the first time). Perhaps the modest success of the other remake a few months ago, THE LITTLE MERMAID, is lifting the “ahem” spirits of the mouse house. So, even though Halloween is months away, are filmgoers in the mood for some scares and laughs in a return stay at the HAUNTED MANSION?


This time out, the story starts with a flashback as we’re on hand for a “meet cute” between research scientist Ben (LaKeith Stanfield) and Alyssa (Charity Jordan) at a New Orleans house party. Then the tale returns to the present day as a now single, and boozy Ben makes a meager living by guiding Big Easy visitors on paranormal tours of the town. Meanwhile, way out of town, a single mother, Gabbie (Rosario Dawson), and her skittish, awkward pre-teen son Travis (Chase Dillon) have taken possession of a big dusty old mansion, hoping to transform it into a quaint “bed and breakfast”. Ah, but it seems that the current undead occupants will have none of that. The duo races to a nearby motel, but the ghosts are “attached” (like gum on the bottom of a shoe). Back in the city, Ben is approached by a local priest named Kent (Owen Wilson). He’s heard that Ben had invented a special camera that captures spectral images when he worked at a big tech lab. With the promise of quick cash, Ben agrees to visit the place. After dismissing their claims, the spirits convince him. To “cleanse” the place, Ben will need “back-up. He and Kent assemble a “dream time”, enlisting a local psychic, Harriet (Tiffany Hadish), and a loopy college historian. Professor Davis (Danny DeVito). But can their combined talents thwart the supernatural forces tormenting the mother and her son?

Unlike the 2003 edition, which seemed to be fashioned as a “star vehicle” for the now (at the time) “family-friendly” Eddie Murphy, the studio has “spread the wealth’ to give us an all-star cast, even tossing in a couple of Oscar-winners (one very recent). Stanfield has opted to try some lighter fare, and he tries to get us invested in the now burnt-out Ben. He puts in an effort, but his story arc is too downbeat. It seems the writers wanted to spark a romance with Dawson’s Gabby, but the dynamic genre staple is giving less to do and spends most of the story looking for his son while fleeing the whispy creeps. Wilson is always entertaining as a motor-mouthed hustler, though the motivations for Keith aren’t too clear. Ditto for the ever-entrancing DeVito who is a cannonball of history trivia bouncing from room to room in panic over meeting his “research subjects”. Haddish conveys a haughty regal demeanor as Harriet when she’s not throwing in a bit of sassy shade as she calculates her cut of this “job”. Oh, the awarded actors include a confined (we mostly just see her face) Jamie Lee Curtis as Madame Leota, the guide in the globe, connecting her to “this side”. And the other pal of Oscar, well I don’t want to spoil it, but as the “hatbox Ghost”, you can barely recognize this “joker” (hint).

Rather than going with an “effects” filmmaker, or an Animator (like Rob Minkoff who helmed the first one), the studio has handed the reins (after “flirting” with Guillermo del Toro) to social satirist Justin Simien (DEAR WHITE PEOPLE, the feature and series), who scores with a couple of nifty spook-filled set pieces, even evoking moments from classic paranormal tales. Unfortunately, even with these comic vets, many of the jokes fall flat. dragging down the pace making the end result a very long wait between the clever nods to the enduring ride (my favorite in the Florida locale). Despite the talented screenwriter behind the 2016 GHOSTBUSTERS all-women reboot (which I will continue to defend), it only inspires a few chuckles as it slowly marches to the big otherworldly “throw-down”. It may be due to some odd choices, especially in the early first meeting between Ben and Gabby, witching from wonky profile close-ups to a truly awkward “hand-held” ending. Plus it’s set in modern times, so why does Gabby dress like an early 60s office clerk while her son could be playing one of Andy Hardy’s school buddies? It just takes us out of the story, True, the scary stuff is toned down for the ‘wee ones, but they may be fast asleep long before many of them appear. I enjoy old creeky houses, but not creeky storytelling which is the real downfall of this HAUNTED MANSION.
