The holiday season is upon us. Are you ready for the fun? Each year, Netflix rolls out an array of festive flicks. This year, Lindsay Lohan makes her return with Our Little Secret. But is it worth your time? Let’s dive in.
Lohan’s new film sees her play Avery. She returns home for Christmas with her boyfriend. Everything seems perfect until she bumps into her ex. Keeping that secret adds a twist. But does that twist save the movie?
Critics have mixed feelings about this one. Owen Gleiberman from Variety wasn’t impressed. He called it a ‘cringe-fest.’ He felt the film fell flat. It had all the hallmarks of a Netflix rom-com gone wrong.
Another critic, Johnny Oleksinski, shared his thoughts. While he didn’t find it as bad as the previous films, he still rated it a mere 1.5 out of 4 stars. He pointed out some odd tonal shifts. Even the talented Kristin Chenoweth couldn’t elevate it.
Emma Kiely from Collider noted similar points. She rated Our Little Secret 4 out of 10. According to her, the romantic chemistry was simply lacking. The dialogue felt robotic. That’s a tough sell for a romance.
Archika Khurana of Times of India couldn’t give it a rave. She felt the story was too forced. It was supposed to be funny or emotional but missed both marks. This film, she says, is a mix of clichés and awkward humor.
Yet, not everyone shares this negative view. Sarah Musnicky from But Why Tho calls it a hidden gem. For her, Lohan and Harding show real chemistry. Their nuances made the awkward story somewhat enjoyable. She’s ready to recommend it over other holiday offerings.
This wide range of opinions makes you wonder, doesn’t it? How can one film elicit such different reactions? Is it nostalgia for Lohan that shapes views? Or do some simply appreciate charm over plot?
So, what are you going to do? Will you give Our Little Secret a chance? Or will you skip it for another festive offering? The release is just around the corner. Netflix is getting ready to light up your screens.
