'FREAKIER FRIDAY'

Rated PG for thematic elements, rude humor, language and some suggestive references.

What it’s about: This sequel to the 2003 body swap comedy sees Anna (Lindsay Lohan) all grown up and contending with a teenager of her own while she gets ready to marry the handsome Eric (Manny Jacinto), while managing his daughter, and her overbearing mom (Jamie Lee Curtis).

The kid attractor factor: The familiar material, and family-friendly comedy will be a draw to audiences.

Good lessons/bad lessons: Try to imagine issues in your rival's experience before you make judgments — walk a mile in their (fashionable) shoes.

Violence: Some reckless driving.

Language: Some suggestive language, toilet humor.

Sex: None

Drugs: None

Parents’ advisory: Fine and fun for kids and parents.

What it’s about: When 17 kids go missing in the middle of the night, a town unravels.
