The digital launch party took place at Break Room 86, the filming location for Anna’s (Lindsay Lohan) bachelorette party in the movie. That Hashtag Show was in attendance alongside the film’s director, Nisha Ganatra, and stars Manny Jacinto, Sophia Hammons, and Haley Hudson.
Ganatra took the stage with the cast to thank everyone for making the movie a success. The sequel was a hit with critics and audiences alike, earning a 74% critics score and 91% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. That Hashtag Show scored the film a 90%, and called it an “instant Disney classic.”

What happened at the Freakier Friday digital launch event?
In addition to glimpsing some of the Freakier Friday stars, there was plenty to do at the event. From themed cocktails to photo ops, there was no shortage of fun happening at Break Room 86. Freakier Friday costumes were on display, including those worn by Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis. Attendees were able to get tarot card readings, and it’s safe to say the fortune tellers at the event were better at their jobs than Vanessa Bayer’s Madame Jen.
Guests also left with some fun souvenirs, including personalized Pink Slip t-shirts. Everyone at the party had fun jamming to “Take Me Away,” and left full of tacos and donuts. You can view our photos from the event on Instagram.
