Lindsay Lohan's Christmas Comeback: Is It Cringe or Delight?

Our festive favourite Lindsay Lohan returns to Netflix with 'Our Little Secret' – but is it glorious or just goofy? Find out!

In the realm of festive films, Netflix seems to have scored another one with Lindsay Lohan’s latest offering, "Our Little Secret." Described as a minor hit, it finds Lohan playing a woman who takes festive overindulgence to a new level by lying about her ex during the holidays. The movie is Lohan's third collaboration with Netflix. While some critics have dubbed it ‘cringe’ and ‘stiff’, others are praising it as a delightful addition to holiday viewing. Whatever side you fall on, one thing’s for certain: Lohan knows how to bring a dose of holiday cheer, even if it’s wrapped in a bow that's a bit crooked.

In media circles, Lohan, along with co-stars Ian Harding and Kristin Chenoweth, unpack the layers of this quirk-laden rom-com. The trio discusses the film's premise, the festive spirit it aims to embody, and how it straddles the line between cheesy and charming. Despite languid pacing and awkward moments, fans of the former teen queen are rallying behind her. Some are even declaring it the best Netflix Christmas film yet – a bold statement considering the streaming giant’s ever-growing collection of holiday films.

However, the journey hasn't been without bumps, as vocal critics have not hesitated to voice their disapproval, tearing apart its festive joviality. They cite the stiff performances and predictably cringe-inducing moments as major downfalls. Still, with Lohan's spirited return to rom-coms, the nostalgia factor and the allure of holiday romance provide a certain irresistible draw—especially for long-time fans who want to see their childhood crush back on screen.

So, is "Our Little Secret" the perfect blend of holiday cheer, or just an overcooked cringe-fest? This festive flick has certainly stirred up a lively debate, igniting conversations about what makes a holiday movie worthwhile. For those seeking a light-hearted experience over the festive period, this film might just hit the right notes, despite the reservations of a few.

Interestingly, this isn’t Lohan’s only brush with Christmas cinema. Her first hit was ‘Freaky Friday’—not a Christmas movie, but definitely a festive favourite since its release! In addition, this film was directed by a newcomer to holiday cinema, proving that fresh takes on charming traditions can come from unexpected places. As many viewers reminisce about Lohan's iconic roles, an undeniable nostalgic thread weaves through those who tune in to "Our Little Secret." No matter your take on the film, Lohan remains an undeniable part of the festive fabric we love to cozy up to during the holiday season!
