    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Freaky' is an entertaining horror-comedy with strong performances from Vince Vaughn and Kathryn Newton. The film blends slasher elements with body-swapping humor, featuring inventive kills and self-referential moments. While some appreciate its fresh take on genre tropes, others find it derivative and predictable. The pacing, humor, and gore are often praised, though a few critics note unevenness.

    Really fun to watch in Halloween

    This movie is so funny and really fun to watch, not really brutal like super scary movie, cause this movie is comedy so not that scary, I love the comedy. They are make me laughing, from the movie was start until the end of the movie, but there's so many adult jokes in this film

    It's kinda weird seeing a girl into a guy and act like a girl, I like the guy acting so funny, and when the girl turn into a guy he/she and kiss his/her crush, it was so funny seeing they're kissing. Recommend movie for Halloween.

    Vince Vaughn plays a better teenage girl than most teenage girls.

    It's a little late for a Halloween/slasher movie, but it looks like they really wanted that Friday the 13th release date. And to my surprise, this was way more fun than I thought it would be.

    Just when you think it's another generic, teen angst, alcohol-drinking, sex-thirsting movie, the kills start happening. Not only were they gory, but they were also quite creative. The movie just knows exactly what it is and never takes itself too seriously. Plus, watching mean bullies die in horrific ways was just so satisfying to watch. (Hopefully, I'm not the only one...)

    More importantly, Vince Vaughn is the reason you should watch this. You have this 6-foot-5 giant of a man running around as a teenage girl. From the way he speaks to his subtle mannerisms, it was just plain funny. He's the man-- or the woman, I mean.

    As for the negatives, it mostly has to do with the writing. Basically, everything with the family was boring and predictable. It was probably the most generic part of the movie. They lazily tell you everything you need to know as soon as they're introduced.

    I also hate it when movies portray a character as "ugly" or "undesirable" and the actress is anything but. In other words, they want you to believe that Kathryn Newton's Millie is some kind of weirdo loser, but I just never bought it.

    There's also a disconnect between Newton's Millie, who is shy, timid and quiet, and Vince Vaughn's Millie, who is girly-girl, talkative and fun. They just felt like different people. There's also, sort of, two endings. There was the natural conclusion, and everything was good, but then it goes on for another 10 minutes, and it was just unnecessary.

    Despite some annoying tropes and poor writing, this was a fun, self-aware movie with some horrific kills and really funny body swap moments.

    Score: 7 out of 10 Overall: Good

    Recommended for: Fans of Vince Vaughn, fans of Freaky Friday with a slasher twist, or fans of watching scumbag bullies get what's coming to them.

    Thanks for reading!

    They gotta be careful with the sequel cos Vince Vaughn is the kernel of this movie.

    Vince Vaughn's acting is top notch. His pancy way of running around n his girly act is what made this film entertaining. The film starts off with a bang, lots of brutal killings n then maintains the entertaining value cos of Vaughn's top notch acting. The film has good humor n moves at a decent pace. The professor with the handle bar moustache looks like Edward Norton.

    "You're black, I'm gay we are so dead"

    A surprisingly good stab flick. It was fun and gory, with a body switching twist for that extra kick. I mean, he did make Happy Death Days and some Paranormal Activities so I'm loving his groove anyway. It looked like Vince Vaughn had a fun time filming this.
    7ThomDerd

    It's 7.5 for the pure entertainment.

    This is a fun film, with a bit of slasher elements and the comedy style surrounding this genre. Now, the added value here is the great pace and the cool performance of Vince Vaughn as a teenage girl. The film is more funny than scary and there is plenty of nice dialogue and moments in there to keep you entertained. 7,5 / 10 freaky fun movie.
