Freaky (2020)

Freaky (2020). Rented this movie from Redbox today. I read the synopsis and it seemed like it would at least be somewhat entertaining. The one of the main characters is played by Vince Vaughn — probably the only "known" actor in this movie. The other main character is played by Kathryn Newton who I sort of recognized but I still had to click on her IMBD page.

Basically, this movie is Freaky Friday (1976) or whatever newer version of it with the same premise but with a darker occasional comedic turn of events. The happenings and deaths are somewhat contrived and predictable for me but that's probably because I have seen a shit-ton of movies with the happenings and deaths.

This is one of the very few if only movie where Vince Vaughn isn't constantly rambling about shit in one of his diatribes or monologues. It was a slightly welcome change. The overall acting wasn't too bad. But again, some of the scenes were just too much "yeah, I knew that was going to happen."

FINAL VERDICT: I got this from Redbox as a discounted rental with a coupon code. Instead of $1.95 it was $0.60. I figured with such a low rental cost it was worth a looksy. While I did find the movie a little entertaining and a different spin on the usual storyline, I don't think I would have like to have spent more than the standard Redbox rental fee of $1.95. If you find this on a streaming service you currently pay for or find a good rental price, I don't think you'll regret it.
