    Jamie Lee Curtis is clapping back at a negative review of her new film Freakier Friday.

    On Friday, Time magazine posted a section of their review of the film to Instagram, which reads: “No one, as far as we know, actually asked Disney for a sequel to 2003’s buoyant … Ugly costumes, humiliating scenarios, and zero added value — this is a sequel with the sole purpose of cashing in on the fondness people have for the original movie and nothing more. The worst part is, Freakier Friday arrived in a pack of other sequels with genuinely fresh takes on their original source material.”

    The Halloween actress reacted to the review by commenting, “SEEMS a TAD HARSH. SOME people LOVE it. Me being one.”

    Freakier Friday is a sequel to 2003’s Freaky Friday, which sees mother Tess (Curtis) and daughter Anna (Lindsay Lohan) swap bodies, which ultimately helps strengthen their relationship. In its follow-up, viewers see another body swap, but this time, it adds a multigenerational twist. Chad Michael Murray also returns to the film.

    At the premiere, in July, Murray praised working with Curtis and Lohan. “I’ll ride those girls’ coattails anytime. I came in, and you never know what to expect, you’re sitting there going, ‘Oh God, let’s not screw it up,’ Murray told The Hollywood Reporter. “You’re going to make a sequel, and I hate to say it, but it’s as good, if not better — they delivered.”

    Despite Time‘s take on the film, Freakier Friday is being received well by fans and many critics, as on Rotten Tomatoes, it currently holds a 94 percent audience score and 73 percent critics’ score. It’s also opened to more than $30 million at the box office.

    Freakier Friday is directed by Nisha Ganatra and released by Disney. It’s now playing in theaters.
