Our Little Secret

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.

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 It's also great to see Lindsay Lohan back in proper movies, and seeing again her comedic acting and charm that originally made her a star.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.

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.

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.

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.
