Lindsay Lohan's 'Parent Trap' co-stars Lisa Ann Walter & Elaine Hendrix support her at 'Freakier Friday' LA premiere
Lindsay Lohan attended the Los Angeles premiere of Disney's Freakier Friday on Tuesday, marking her return to the big screen in a long-awaited sequel to Freaky Friday. Alongside co-star Jamie Lee Curtis, Lohan reprised her role as Anna, over two decades after the original film was released. The premiere also brought an unexpected moment of nostalgia as Lohan reunited on the red carpet with Lisa Ann Walter and Elaine Hendrix, her co-stars from the 1998 film The Parent Trap. In that film, Lohan portrayed twin sisters Annie and Hallie, while Walter played housekeeper Chessy and Hendrix portrayed Meredith Blake, the character engaged to the twins' father. The trio posed together for photos, drawing attention from fans who fondly remember the film that helped launch Lohan's career. The Parent Trap continues to resonate with audiences for its story of twin sisters separated at birth who meet for the first time at summer camp and try to reunite their parents. Freakier Friday, set to release on August 8, follows Anna as a mother navigating the complexities of a blended family. The film includes returning cast members Mark Harmon, Chad Michael Murray, and Christina Vidal, with Elaine Hendrix also making an appearance.

‘Freakier Friday' early reactions praise Disney sequel as funny, heartfelt, and family-friendly
Disney's upcoming film Freakier Friday has received strong early reactions following its first press screenings. The sequel, starring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis, has been praised for its emotional depth, humour, and on-screen chemistry between its leads. Entertainment journalist Jeff Conway wrote on X, 'These 22 years later, Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis haven't missed a beat. Their on-screen chemistry is truly something special. A true delight that the entire family will enjoy.' He added that the film was 'double the fun' and 'twice the heart' compared to the original. Variety's Jazz Tangcay also praised the film, calling it 'an absolute riot' and noting that she both 'laughed' and 'cried' while watching. She described it as 'a great feel-good film' and highlighted the performances from Lohan and Curtis, who she said delivered 'hilarity and emotion.' Brandon Davis added that Freakier Friday was 'silly and sometimes confusing but hilarious throughout.' He said it was 'some of the most fun I've had watching a movie this year.' Set years after the original, the sequel follows Anna, now a mother, who finds herself in a four-way body swap alongside her own mother Tess, her daughter, and future stepdaughter. The body swap forces the characters to navigate misunderstandings and strengthen their evolving relationships. The cast also includes Julia Butters, Sophia Hammons, Manny Jacinto, Mark Harmon, Chad Michael Murray, and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan. The film is based on Mary Rodgers' 1972 novel and follows the legacy of the 2003 hit.
