I’m in full agreement with those who say our culture is suffering from reboot fatigue. (I mean, how hard is it to come up with an original idea for a rom-com? I have, like, 40! As Kim Kardashian once said, nobody wants to work anymore.) However, when I heard Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis would be reprising their mother-daughter roles in a Freaky Friday reboot inventively titled…Freakier Friday, I knew immediately just how seated I would be for said film.

While Freakier Friday isn’t out in theaters until August 8, we’ve officially been blessed with a trailer as of this Friday (shrewd release date on Disney’s part, IMO). Watch it below, then find quite literally every thought I had about this little snippet of the Nisha Ganatra-directed joy coming our way this summer.

1. Okay, Lindsay! Serving absolute face!
2. Jamie Lee looks good too, although I feel that she (and women over 50 everywhere) deserves better than that very specific overgrown-bob-slash-halfhearted-shag haircut.
3. Vanessa Bayer! Let’s go!
4. Honestly, if I’d body-switched with my mom in my teens, I think I’d be avoiding any instance of the occult with her, including fortune-telling.
5. Then again, I’m a known coward.
6. Chappell Roan needle-drop time!
7. Wait, Lindsay has a teen?
8. Two teens?
9. And one of them is now…Grandma?
10. Sorry…who swapped with whom, exactly?
11. I’m deeply confused.
12. “My face looks like a Birkin bag that’s been left out in the sun to rot” is a good line, I have to give them that.
13. Aw, I’m glad the mom and daughter from the Chinese restaurant in the original film make a cameo, even though their whole plotline was…pretty racist.
14. Hot red car alert!
15. Was that…Meghann Fahy?
16. I’m still trying to piece this together. So the teens swapped bodies with the adults?
17. Why are there two teens? That just seems like confusing writing.
18. Am I bad at math, or does this make absolutely no sense?
19. Both?
20. Where the hell is Chad Michael Murray?
21. Oop, spoke too soon, there he is, slowly removing a motorcycle helmet.
22. All right, this cameo won me back over.
23. H-O-T-T-O-G-O, indeed!
