Say what you will about Lindsey Lohan, “The Parent Trap”, “Freaky Friday”, and “Mean Girls” are iconic. And “I Know Who Killed Me”? Legendary.

[@washedblue]

she was actually pretty great in Georgia Rule, too. it was a more mature role for her at the time but done so well and realistically. I've always thought of Lohan as a bit of a prodigy; she was a fantastic actress at such a young age. most kid actors aren't great for lack of life experience and coaching but she seemed to have a natural talent for acting. it makes me sad to see her in her current state. everyone makes fun of her but she clearly needs help and has shown likely signs of trauma for a long time, and knowing Hollywood, well..

The only part still in the video is saying that the movie has dated humor but it's important to say why it's dated. Wasn't my intention to try and sidestep it!

[@dancortat7445]

there was a time when my mother's (toxic) boyfriend was already living with us for a while. There was a day before I left to go to school, I locked my bedroom´s door and putted a note saying that I had locked it for my cat who was in in mating season not to mark territory there. When I came back from school, the door was broken, there were literally pieces of the frame on the floor. And my mom's boyfriend turned to me and said "I needed to open it to get more air in the apartment". It was obvious that we didn't get along, and my mother? She defended him. Nothing strange for a mother´s boyfriend breaking the door of a 16-year-old teenager so that she could not lock it. We lived together for about 4 years, and he was not reliable.

The commentary on the music industry and the way it manipulates naive artists to change their image for the label's profit and the use of product placement throughout to show how we're constantly being bombarded with ads that tell us how to think, feel, look, and dress by big corporations(again for profit) is just... chefs kiss!

[@3499Jul]

Watching a video of Amanda being just so happy and passionate about a great movie is just awesome and necessary this holiday season.

[@wren9841]

"I'M LIKE THE CRYPT KEEPER" will forever be one of my favorite lines in ANY movie. God I haven't seen this in so long but I love it so much 😂

[@1DMapler18]

This movie, mean girls and confessions of a teenage drama queen were the PEAK of early 2000s teen movies and they dominated my childhood like I was obsessed with them 😭😭😭 (and coincidentally they're all Lindsey Lohan movies!)

[@minibat7169]

Dude, Amanda seems like she was picked straight out of the 2000s.

[@swish3432]

Yeah she said she “used” to dress like Lindsay Lohan in this movie and I laughed good naturedly

[@casualnerdjason6678]

Hot damn that was a good transition to Audible. There should be KZbin awards for that stuff!

[@evelyn8164]

Amanda: finally debutes with her guitar Me: *gayness intensifies*

[@_LunaTheBlackCat_]

Can confirm

[@noranash280]

same

[@beritquinkert7383]

"almost every single line in this movie is iconic." agreed. so quotable. so rewatchable xD aNd HoW dO YoU fEeL aBoUt ThAT?

[@angeknowsit]

This movies is such a masteripiece even dubed in spanish, the voice actors made such a great job I've never watched it in english and never wanted to. This movie and malcom in the middle were every mexican kid´s childhood in the 2000´s

[@marianarecinos7]

You're totally right!!

[@a.shuffler4714]

Where are you from? I'm from Panama and watched it in Spanish before I did in English.

[@aridaiescamilla497]

Yes, 100% YESS jajajaja

[@JackieJaime90]

Big yes!!! I still low key prefer the dubbed version in Spanish. It’s so good!! “No te acerques cosa fea!” “Parezco una momiaaaa”

[@marvel096]

Same. Tbh the Latin American dubs were so good. I never rewatch childhood movies or cartoons in English because I’m so fond of the dubs 💓

[@Maugrimm]

Now I remember why "Hit me baby one more time!" is in my mind linked to this movie.

[@silverfoxjxt1532]

Idc what anyone says, best intro I have ever seen and heard

[@Ash-fm1yk]

Amanda has the best intros lol

[@Horstinkistan]

Now I wanna see this film again. Also, one of the most underrated Lindsay Lohan movies is Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. If you haven't seen it, you definitely should. It's great.

[@ARCADEAVERY]

not to be a lesbian but oh my god that opening

[@elisamac8227]

I mean... same

[@BlueGangsta1958]

One of us, one of us, one of us

[@prettypurplepsycho5469]

This movie actually played such a role in my early teens, even though my mother has always been open to hearing my opinion, we'd watched this movie so many times together. For the comedy, the iconic moments and that it could help some daughter/mother relationships. No lie anytime I notice this movies on, my mother comes RUNNING and vise versa😂

[@emmacann2532]

Don't wanna grow up, I wanna get out. Take. Me. Away, away, awaaaayyyyyy Round and round here we go again. Same old story, same old end. Twist and turn, run it back again. Same old stuff - never ends I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO LOVED THIS SO MUCH! "FUN SUCKER!" is my favourite line, and I want a Pink Slip album.

[@HippyNinjaSimmy]

Amanda getting this excited is the bright light my December needed.

[@emilyalucard]

Oh my God I haven't thought about it this movie in years

[@AmandaTheJedi]

Here to bless you this holiday season

[@PsychologyandChillwMichi]

OMG I cried when you showed the scene of Anna's speech at the end. Why am I like this??? Thank you for the reminder of this iconic movie

[@rustyshackleford6633]

Thank you for reminding me why I say "Make good choices!" every time someone leaves my house. This movie was frucking ICONIC.

[@jazzphotos]

I absolutely loved this movie. It's definitely my favorite Freaky Friday. And in both scenes where they show up to support each other, I got Misty eyed when I was in high school.. glad to see this movie get more love.

[@michelleboon7646]

It was so weird listening to the opening guitar chords and then not hearing the YEAH.

[@RoKer13]

I just heard it in my head instead 😂

[@OriginalAivien]

I had such a big crush on Lindsay back then. She was the one that had me go "Oh... So I do like girls too. In THAT way."

[@aacsmiles]

I would love to see your take on Mean Girls, but also that underrated Lindsay Lohan classic, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen.

[@lainiwakura1776]

Funny how they're trying to into Wango Tango, because its a concert put on a pop music station that has the popular pop music people there. Basically, Pink Slip doesn't fit the sound.

[@TurtleChad1]

A Turtle approved this very good video

[@carter_lovejoy]

You’re everywhere!

[@juonithzramos1089]

Amanda playing the guitar in the intro is the ending to 2020 we all deserve. 😍

[@TheCheat420]

I've always associated this movie with Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen instead of Mean Girls.

[@shiroinamida2002]

me too, and it's so good, so wonderful.

[@TheBee1470]

EXACTLY

[@ericaestevam]

OMG, YESSS, THANK YOU!! I was so happy watching you talk about this ICONIC movie!

[@emanymton713]

“Used to be cool?” Amanda you *are* cool.

[@feanaro2712]

This video was wild in all the best ways. You have such an awesome energy that perfectly syncs with this particular movie, and your enthusiasm for it was so much fun to watch.

[@cuppajoewithjoe2148]

Oh God. I watched this movie so many times as a kid that I practically know the script by heart.

[@angeknowsit]

this movie and malcom in the middle

[@lalalulu17]

I can still quote the script while watching it recently 😆 and i havent watched it in years

[@lunarguardian5523]

Hello everyone, I am new to the channel.Nice to meet you all. But somehow i feel like i have been on this channel for a long time.Amanda you have got such a good energy and you feel like a friend when you are speaking. You are very funny and joyful,yet you are also very mature. Happy to be a part of this channel.

[@thevampirecat]

freaky friday stans are all bi or lesbian now

[@andreaf8404]

[@6ratsinatrenchcoat]

as an ex freaky friday stan who is now a lesbian, i can confirm this

[@kittygrimm7301]

Funny, my mum has always identified as straight and not only does she *adore* this movie but she often talks about her newest girl-crushes.

[@angel_bow20]

Um your not wrong i mean look at my profile picture

[@brokenquill9277]

Pretty much

[@gcooper642]

As a Brit I never understood why missing the rehearsal dinner was so important. Its not like she's missing the wedding. We don't have rehearsal dinners over here. Just seems like something someone made up to extract more money from couples around wedding time.

[@itsgaylebitxh]

The acting was SO GOOD that my *dumb, young* self believed they switched.

[@readmachine18]

Lol, same! 😂👌

[@johnhamlin7868]

Love this movie! I just discovered your channel and I've watched a bunch of your videos. As a fellow Canadian I love your energy!

[@lizzieperlizzie]

Literally just finished watching this with my mum for the first time in years! Glad you like it too!

[@AmandaTheJedi]

I watched it with my mom again for the first time in years this summer

[@mrsonicscrewdriver]

Who else after watching Amanda’s retrospective video for this Freaky Friday, immediately went onto Disney+ to watch the actual full movie for nostalgia sake? Just subscribed a month ago, but I’m loving your videos Amanda 👍🏻😀 good work.

[@XxdextriousxX]

“I use to dress that like all the time!” I feel like you still do and that’s okay!😭

[@liasid]

I'm so glad I found your channel. I love your videos

[@Retro__Glitch2313]

little fact about Jamie Lee Curtis: her mother was born in my hometown (small town amanda fans you need love too)

[@SmartStart24]

Her mom was the lady from Psycho right? Or am I tripping?

[@annieboookhall]

Nope! You totally right! I just learned that from a Psycho documentary this morning

[@Retro__Glitch2313]

@@SmartStart24 yep, she was... she was originally from merced ca then moved stockton ca when she was few months old

[@marvel096]

Her mom was Janet Leigh and her dad was Tony Curtis, both legends. She is hollywood royalty.

[@stevenperez845]

Thank you Amanda for that awesome Cover at the beginning. I love that someone else agrees that “Take me away” slaps!

[@danielleaustin2292]

I literally just finished watching this movie. Freaky Friday and Mean Girls are cornerstones of my pop culture references.

[@clownrat5759]

Lol, we did this musical for my school last year! Honestly won’t even lie, it was hell on earth for me the entire time. The only ones who treated me with any respect/care were the actors! Ended up for a great production despite covid shutting it down early.
