Lindsay Lohan confirms that one of Anna’s passions will return in Craziest Friday. The 2003 sequel Crazy Friday sees Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis return to the roles of Anna and her mother, Tess, once again switching bodies and learning more about each other’s lives and challenges. Alongside Lohan and Curtis, 2025 Craziest Friday will also see the return of Mark Harmon and Chad Michael Murray, while The Fabelmans‘Julia Butters and The AcolyteManny Jacinto will play new characters.
When appearing in The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to promote his new Netflix film Our little secretLohan shared a new detail about Craziest Friday, confirming that it will feature another reunion of the original film. She said, “Pink Slip is back, the band. Yes!” In the original film, Anna is part of the punk rock band Pink Slip alongside her friends Maddie (Christina Vidal) and Peg (Haley Hudson), and their efforts as a group are a key part of Anna’s body-swap journey with her mother.
What the Pink Slip Reunion Means for Craziest Friday
Despite a Happy Resolution, Freakiest Friday Could Reveal an Unfortunate Fate
While Pink Slip is confirmed for an appearance in Craziest FridayIt’s not yet clear how they will fit into the film. In the first film, Tess disapproved of Anna’s band and often shut them down. However, her experience inside Anna’s body led Tess to support her daughter’s goals and even allowing Pink Slip to perform at their wedding reception.
However, with over twenty years passing between the films, it is unclear whether Pink Slip was successful, as the only image from the sequel currently released is of Tess and Anna screaming. It is reported that in the sequel, Anna will have a family of her own, with Butters playing her daughter, and that Anna has adopted the same habits as her mother. Although Pink Slip may have been a success in the past, Anna’s reported behavior may suggest her passion has fallen by the wayside and that the band can be dissolved at the beginning of the sequence.
Our Take on Pink Slip’s Weirdest Friday Comeback
The band was key to Freaky Friday’s classes
With Pink Slip being so central to the original Crazy Fridayit’s no surprise that the band is part of the sequel. Anna’s musical aspirations were central to her conflict with Tess in the originalwith much of the resolution depending on the peer understanding its value. As such, a return of this element would be necessary for any subsequent stories, especially with Vidal and Hudson confirmed to return.
However, with the previously reported plot details and Lohan’s specific words about them getting “back together“, Craziest Friday may reveal that they did not achieve the success they expected. However, with the film set to bring back body swapping, perhaps a new perspective could give Anna the chance to recapture the spark of her youth and give music another chance.
