6 Lindsay Lohan Movies You Need to Rewatch Before "Freaky Friday 2" Premieres

On August 8th, the sequel to the comedy "Freaky Friday" hits theaters worldwide. After a long hiatus, the actress once again dons the crown of family film royalty.

Remember the red-haired rebel who conquered Hollywood in the 2000s, vanished for a decade, and made a triumphant comeback with Netflix? It's time to refresh your memory of her best roles — from her debut in "The Parent Trap" to the recent "Irish Wish."

The Parent Trap (1998)

11-year-old Lindsay's feature film debut, and she immediately took on a double role. Twins separated in childhood accidentally meet at summer camp and switch places to reunite their divorced parents. A family film classic that showed Lohan was a born star. If you haven't seen it — fix that immediately.

Freaky Friday (2003)

Mom and daughter are going through, let's say, a rough patch. By chance, they switch bodies, and mom remembers what it's like to be a teenage girl. Lindsay and Jamie Lee Curtis create the perfect comedic duo in this story about the importance of understanding each other. Definitely rewatch before the sequel — to refresh your memory of how it all began.

Mean Girls (2004)

"On Wednesdays we wear pink" — if this phrase sounds familiar, then you understand this film's cultural phenomenon. Lohan plays the new student who enters the world of ruthless queen bees, natural-born prom queens. Tina Fey's screenplay turned an ordinary high school comedy into a cult classic that's still quoted today.

Just My Luck (2006)

What happens when New York's luckiest girl kisses the city's unluckiest guy? Right — they swap fates! A light romantic comedy with Lohan and Chris Pine that proves sometimes bad luck leads to the best discoveries. Perfect for a popcorn night.

Georgia Rule (2007)

This film proved Lindsay's an excellent dramatic actress, we believe at zoomboola.com. Three generations of women, family secrets, and a small town where you can't hide from the truth. Felicity Huffman and Jane Fonda give Lohan worthy company in this piercing story about how family trauma passes from generation to generation.

Irish Wish (2024)

Welcome to Lindsay Lohan's new era! A romantic fairy tale set against emerald Ireland's backdrop. Lindsay's character makes a wish and lands in an alternate reality. Netflix magic at its finest — beautiful scenery, sweet plot, and Lohan clearly enjoying the filming process. Proof that comebacks after long breaks can be triumphant.
