Jamie Lee Curtis is not afraid to let critics know what she thinks of their reviews.

Curtis recently starred in “Freakier Friday,” the sequel to her 2003 body-swap comedy “Freaky Friday.” The film sees her reprise the role of Tess Coleman alongside her original co-star and on-screen daughter, Lindsay Lohan. In a post on Instagram on Friday, Time shared an excerpt from Stephanie Zacharek’s review of the film.

More from Variety

In the review, she wrote, “No one, as far as we know, actually asked Disney for a sequel to 2003’s buoyant, surprisingly unsyrupy generation-gap comedy ‘Freaky Friday.’”

Curtis responded by commenting on the post, “SEEMS a TAD HARSH. SOME people LOVE it. Me being one.”

It seems Zacharek is in the minority with her negative review. “Freakier Friday” sits at a 73% and 94% audience score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. The film is also performing well at the box office, grossing $12.7 million on Friday with a projected three-day gross of $27 to $30 million.

“Freakier Friday” takes place decades after the original. Anna now has her own daughter (Julia Butters) and a soon-to-be stepdaughter (Sophia Hammons). As she attempts to navigate the struggles of merging her two families, Anna, her mother Tess, her daughter and her stepdaughter get tangled in a four-way body swap.

Appearing alongside Lohan, Curtis, Butters and Hammons are Manny Jacinto, Mark Harmon, Chad Michael Murray and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan. Nisha Ganatra directed the film with a script from Jordan Weiss, Elyse Hollander and Mary Rodgers.

In his review for Variety, Owen Gleiberman was keen on the long-awaited sequel, writing that the film nailed the “slapstick psychology” of the body-swapping genre with “stodgy aplomb.”
