SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (ABC4<\/strong><\/a>) \u2014 For this week\u2019s See It or Skip It, ABC4 Film Critic and Tomatometer-Approved Critic Patrick Beatty, along with UFCA critics Rebecca Frost and Kent Dunn, have a balanced meal of content for your weekend. From the return of beloved comedy animation to Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan returning to their Disney roots in \u201cFreaky Friday\u201d. This week is packed with fun, let\u2019s get into it.<\/p>\n

What if switching bodies was just the warm-up? Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan are back, and their lives are about to be swapped once again. This time, generations collide, as Anna\u2019s daughter and potential step-daughter are literally stepping into Anna and her mother\u2019s shoes, and the only way back might be through some serious soul searching. I don\u2019t see how they could have done \u201cFreakier Friday\u201d any better than what they did here. Neither Lohan nor Curtis missed a beat in stepping back into these characters, and for the ones who grew up with the original, this was one of the rare Disney sequels that turned out to be pretty good and worth seeing.<\/p>\n

Zach Cregger gives a mind-bending thriller centered around the disappearance of an entire classroom of students. A web of connected stories starts to unfold as we learn what led to the incident. Both Julia Garner and Josh Brolin give impressive performances, and director Zach Creggar proved he\u2019s more than capable of delivering well-structured and story-focused terror in a way that\u2019s as funny as it is scary at times. While the mystery may not provide exactly what was set up in the film\u2019s marketing, \u201cWeapons\u201d is scary, suspenseful, and beautifully shot.<\/p>\n

Wednesday Addams returns to Nevermore Academy. This time, it\u2019s a family affair, as Pugley enters school and Gomez and Morticia are always nearby. Wednesday is plagued by a vision she is keen on stopping, but will this sinister new foe test her abilities too far? The first half of the season is available now, and like the first, I love the mystery, the offbeat morbid jokes, and Jenna Ortega again delivers a spellbinding performance as Nevermore Academy\u2019s Sherlock Holmes.<\/p>\n

Yup. The Hills are back in Arlen, and Texas has not gotten any less Texas. Life has moved on, and Hank and Peggy will have to learn what life is like in 2025. The new \u201cKing of the Hill\u201d delivers on the jokes, and while suffering tragic losses of key voice actors, is still able to bring a season worthy of being included in the original\u2019s best.<\/p>\n

The Pickup (R)<\/h2>\n

A flirt gone wrong turns into a mess in this high-stakes romantic action thriller. Putting in an impressive cast, \u201cThe Pickup\u201d fails to deliver on fun and comedic moments, and instead feels bland and underserving of its actors.<\/p>\n
