Nosso Segredinho

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.

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.

Our Little Secret movie Non-violent amusing comedy that is fun to watch as all of the characters try so hard not to hurt each other's feelings that it actually fails and backfires in humorous and embarrassing ways and sometimes actually succeeds. If you want to escape for a couple of hours this worked for me.

Mixes business with friendship and family sorting out how to deal with personal history that suddenly without warning resurfaces many years later at the most inconvenient time. Or was it? Is this torture, Karma, or true love? You'll have to watch it to find out.

Best choice so far this year.

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.
