I – like all Millennials – root for no more than me root for Lindsay Lohan. We were all there together, on the ground floor, when she perfected the “switch” comedy; First as twins Annie and Hallie in Nancy Meyer’s “The Parent Trap” recording, then later with Jamie Lee Curtis‘soul in ”Freaky Friday“Remake, and when she cosplayed like a cool child in” Mean Girls. “She grew up with us, and we held on to her through the personal Life Falls. goat After all. We all went through our own pitfalls – we just didn’t have the paparazzis that snapped pictures of life’s worst moments.
Even those of us who regret direct-to-streaming release supported her Netflix comedy comebacks. The platform should also know that we 100% would have been there, lined up at the cinema, to support both films with generous cash registers. The Millennial generation does not agree on everything. We are actually quite divided into other subjects – such as preferred boy bands, Ross on “Friends”, superheroes and Katy Perry’s latest production – but we agree on one thing: Lohan.
“Freakier Friday,” Therefore, the most important theater publishing for millennials is this year. I heard – and I accept – David Ehrlich’s argument about “The naked gun.” After all, there is one reason that we at IndieWire have made sure you know about and are prepared to support it fantastic comedy in cinema. But – hear me – the sequel “Freaky Friday” is a big deal.
First of all, no other Instagram queen himself, Jamie Lee Curtis, made sure the film was taken in Los Angeles. She said Deadline Last month, “The movie was a love letter to Los Angeles and the original film was a love for Los Angeles. We shot in the original house and we shot all over the city of Los Angeles.” Therefore, on the day of age where productions often go to tax relief in other states and countries, “”Freakier Friday“Do work by keeping Hollywood alive. And they made it SkewOre Summer is big $ 750 million Win in California’s state legislators. The trailer has a glimpse of several beloved local places, including my favorite vinyl shop, the record chair.
Second, while it is another sequel or restart, it is a trait that the fans want. In years and years and year Fans chased Curtis and Lohan on the potential for a continuation, and that Hullabaloo spoke it. And unlike Disney’s “Hocus Pocus 2”, it actually gets the chance to prove its performance in theaters.
And thirdly, and most importantly, this press tour has given all of us millennials the opportunity to sunbathe in our girl Lohan. After all, she represents most of my generation now in this phase of her life. While these boomers and Gen Xers settle for our incompetence and immaturity during the better part of a decade, we are now millennials that have everything together. And we represent a more emphatic culture, I would like to think, which is contrary to much of what Where ugly in tabloid -loaded ’00s and what is Ugly in today’s dividing times. We are out here and give hope in the form of an intergeneration comedy like “Freakier Friday” – I mean, literally Unite the generations and change them around.
We only needed our time, as Lohan did. “I lost that feeling of excitement about making a filmAnd I wanted to live my own life a little, find out how to have a more private life, a real life, she said The times. “I wanted to wait to get it itching again.”
In the same interview, Lohan also offers hope to us IndieWire-love, record box-use movie lovers, and speaks to exactly what is missing in today’s movie landscape, “I lack movies that are stories, such as” Everything about Eve “or” Breakfast at Tiffany’s. “There are not many big movies I want to go and see that is so – there is a gap and I want to do work like that.”
Next weekend-August 8 to be exact-have the millennial generation that has been given the chance to prove our purchasing power, and support a movie that is not only another piece of Mal Nostalgia, but the type of Midlevel Budget Studio with appealing stars we we we lack to see. And when we support Lohan – our most universal representative – we can actually, even if inadvertently get the fun, original content we have expected.
