FREAKY

A horror take on the old FREAKY FRIDAY where Millie (played by Kathryn Newton) and the Blissfield Butcher (Vince Vaughn), swap bodies. They have only 24 hours to switch back or else the change will be permanent. I love Vince Vaughn and I still remember when he made good comedies. It wasn't all that long ago. Sadly, this is not one of them. The jokes are flat and juvenile that seemed like they were written for a PG-13 audience (which is a bit odd considering the film is rated R for violence and language). Besides that the film attempts to be too multilayered and woke. Not in a heavy handed sort of way, but more in terms of gaslighting (just enough to let you know that they're there). In addition the film is quite misandrynistic towards every white, male character with the exception of course of Millie's love interest. The only theme that does a decent job at preaching a positive message is at the end where *surprise* Millie finally finds her strength. 4/10
