Our Little Secret

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.

Good little Christmas movie that deliver on the "rom" but is a bit more sparse on the "com". That was my initial feeling.

The script remind me a bit of Anyone but You with Sydney Sweeney exept this time its Christmas Holliday and the exes don't actually hate each other at the beginning.

Overall the dynamic with the 2 leads is good and the side characters are fine, but at the same time you kinda wish there was a little bit more anemosity to make the situations funnier.

This is my little "issue" with the movie. It does have some chuckles moment but it could had been more funny in my opinion.

That said Lindsay Lohan is lovely, charismatic and fun to watch and i apreciate seeing her do these Netflix movies. It was a decent time but simply not one i will revisit as a classic or anything.

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.

This was a predictable Christmas Hallmark-style romance. But it was an enjoyable flick. It was a little more focused on the rom than the com and I would've appreciated the humor being a little less dramatic. But it was, ultimately, very sweet. Lindsey Lohan was fantastic. I haven't watched any movies from her in years and I know she had a lot of issues with drugs and alcohol during that time, but she is a really good Christmas romance choice for a lead! I don't rate Christmas romances very high, so a 7 is a great score from me.... But I do enjoy Christmas romances. And honestly, predictable is what I want from a Christmas romance.

So I expected another cheesy, poorly acted Hallmark-type movie (like her terrible cheesy Netflix Christmas skiing film where she loses her memory), but Our Little Secret was a surprisingly solid romantic comedy. The dysfunctional family subplot reminded me of The Family Stone and Happiest Season, adding a bit of heart and charm and of course gotta love Kristin Chwnoweth. It's also great to see Lindsay Lohan back in proper movies, and seeing again her comedic acting and charm that originally made her a star. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a cozy, feel-good Christmas movie. Worth watching.
