Our Little Secret

I actually felt like watching the proposal. Ideas were good, there was fun and honestly for the first time in a while i actually felt chemistry between linday and her co-star. I'm very surprised in a very good way and i did enjoy watching it from start to end . Glad to see a real return for Lindsay as the previous movies for holidays werent that good. ( also a good return to well written movies with a storyline and not just " movie stars ") Maybe its time for lindsay to move from christmas movies and return to more commercial ones.

Definitively must watch! Enjoy!

Merry christmas everyone !!!!!!!!!

Its like a lot of movies, somethign to watch vs nothing, is what I categorize it Its not a movie to pick to intentionally watch much less pay to see And the aful filter on their skin kept making me think it as an AI generated movie or one where cartoons characters are supposed to look real. I could not even concentrate on the movie because of how eerie their complexions looked vs natural.

In short if you just want to watch an okay movie or occupy time then sure watch this. But its not something I would pick if my time is really important. Id personally want to watch a movie thats at least a 7 and this is not one.

I am not a fan of cheesy Hallmark holiday movies but last year I gave Lindsay Lohan's holiday film on Netflix a try and did not like it. When this one came a year later at first I was like, "no", but seeing her recent makeover and interviews soon after I changed my mind and decide to watch it.

The first ten minutes are bad due to a cliché and unrealistic script, particularly in a scene where the boyfriend goes off on a childish rant before he and Lindsay's character break up. I almost stopped watching it altogether then but kept watching and in the end I actually enjoyed it.

Lindsay Lohan may have had a lot of labels attached to her past history in Hollywood and her recent ultra makeover might make some people wonder how long that would last. But watching her performance in this movie I must say it's undeniable that she's got a talent for comedy and she does have a charm and special screen presence that made her a star and is still very much with her. Whatever or however her personal life has been like, I enjoy her comedic timings and the way she expresses her character's emotional ebbs and flows.

Maybe I'm a little biased because I've always loved her in Parent Trap and Freaky Friday, and it makes me simply happy to see her comeback on the screen. But the super low ratings and some of the mean-spirited reviews make me scratch my head. I wonder if people removed her public image from her performance in this light-hearted and fun holiday flick that's never meant to be so realistic, thoughtful, or deeply moving... if they would rate it higher? I don't know, but I enjoyed this chaotic but fun holiday flick filled with many interesting characters, decent acting, and the spark of Lindsay Lohan that's still very much alive.

We watched this movie at home, streaming. It is set and was shot in the Atlanta, Georgia areas. Also it is pretty clean, avoiding the filthy language of so many movies of recent years.

We like Lindsay Lohan, now in her late 30s, as Avery. She is ambitious and turns down a marriage proposal from her long-time friend and neighbor Logan so she can go off to a career in London.

This movie uses a unique, and very interesting, way to show the passage of 10 years. Instead of just captioning "10 years later" they show each year and a few flashes of real newsworthy events that defined that year. Aside from just enjoying the story it was nice to see those 10 years encapsulated in a short amount of screen time.

Ian Harding is Logan and during those 10 years has stayed near home and established his own successful career in real estate development. There is a Christmas gathering that Avery travels back for and both she and Logan are totally surprised when each shows up at the same party and each with serious dates.

Kristin Chenoweth is the mother of Logan's girlfriend and the party is at her house. We love Chenoweth, especially her singing, but my wife and I both cringe at her speaking voice, it sounds like she is always on Helium.

The characters are an odd assortment, we can see right away that both Avery and Logan are with partners that they probably shouldn't be with. So that sets the stage to see if the two of them can get back together after all those years.

Linsay's younger sister, Aliana Lohan, is a talented singer and songwriter and contributed to the soundtrack for this movie.

Not a novel concept but we found it entertaining, which is all we were looking for after our weekly steak dinner with wine, and of course chocolate cake.

If you've seen one, you've seen them all. I'm glad that Lindsay Lohan is hitting the screens again and is putting out films, but come on. This was a rom-com in a can. There was no real chemistry between the two main characters, and overall felt like a cheap and cheesy hallmark Christmas cash in. It's a one and done for me.

Sidebar, why is everyone either colored super yellow, or super white? Are we suffering from jaundice, Simpson fever, or on the verge of being completely exsanguinated? I mean honestly that's what really distracted, or maybe even intrigued me to continue watching and enduring the lack luster and tired performance from most of the cast.

However, Tracey Morgan and Kristin Chenoweth were a delight to watch.
