In this play on The Parent Trap (Meyers, 1998) and Freaky Friday (Waters, 2003), sisters Jamie and Siri both think they’re only children until they meet at a wellness retreat. The sisters hatch a plan to get back at Jamie’s dad and Siri’s mom by switching places, and a mysterious magic intervenes and swaps the sister’s appearances. While living in each other’s lives and bodies, the girls find unexpected love and explore their relationships with the family they never knew.
Better Together is a story about sisterhood and complicated families, sprinkled with magic and enough comedic moments to keep the story lighthearted and fun. Fans of The Parent Trap and Freaky Friday will love this movie mash-up.
