Falling for Christmas

This was a fun and adorable lighthearted Christmas movie. Yes I mostly put it on to see Lindsay make her great comeback and I'm ready for her to be the new queen of Christmas. It put me into the holiday spirit. It's not a deep plot nor was I expecting it to be. Ignore the low ratings and sourpusses and enjoy the glory that is Lindsay Lohan making her comeback. The imagery is great with the backdrop of a snowy ski resort decked out with boughs of holy. It's not that serious so I'm flabbergasted by the super low reviews. I'm really not sure what those people were expecting but it's still a delightful movie to put you in the Christmas spirit.

I'm a sucker for Christmas movies. I love a movie where I can relax and know nothing awful is going to happen like in a lot of films. This was a lovely film. It had a few comedy moments. It's really good to see Lindsay Lohan back in great form. Lots of colourful Christmas jumpers and a beautiful Christmassy town. A Santa Clause who really looked the part. I'm putting this with all my other Christmas movies to watch this time of year. Watching it sitting on the sofa with my Baileys, Christmas tree and presents all wrapped. This movie is just great for getting in the seasonal mood. And anyone saying it's cheesy. Cheese is just what we need at Christmas.

I think people are being a bit to harsh on this. Sometimes you have to remember that not all films are set out to be academy award winning powerful blockbusters. Its a campy netflix Christmas film set for people who just want a bit of light hearted entertainment and some Christmas spirit. If you like family fun Christmas movies then you will certainly enjoy this and if you are just a fan of Lindsay Lohan im sure you will enjoy too. Dont get me wrong the plot is pretty generic but as i said before its not a film thats truly meant to be taken with full seriousness so it didnt bother me. It served its purpose to be family friendly fun.

... because it is as cheesy as they get. This was incredibly predictable from literally the first shot. If you're looking for an original storyline, this is not it. You pretty much know exactly what's going to happen just from the trailer. However, seeing Lindsay Lohan acting again and being happy is a Christmas miracle in and of itself. And Chord Overstreet is looking adorably handsome in this. On top of it, their chemistry is pretty good too. And even though this was brutally cheesy and predicatble it somehow managed to get me to tear up a little.. twice!! So yeah... i probably wont even remember watching this a few days from now it was still a good time. And honestly, I think Lindsey deserves a second chance at her career. I hope it takes off again and she's able to get bigger and better roles in the future. But this was definitely a cute little comeback.

No pun intended - and I do not mean to make light of Hallmark movies. Unless you find them annoying - but why are you here if that is the case? I think the title is quite the easy giveaway. Lohan plays an adorable and yet quite shallow character ... some may confuse her character with her own personality. I do not know her, but I would assume she is way more than that. Also: acting.

All that aside, the movie and the story (if you can call it that) is quite predictable. We know where this is going ... suspend your disbelief, check your cynicism at the door and just watch it and enjoy the silliness and ... well whatever you would call this "sweet" movie.

Also there are some fun bloppers/gag reel at the end of the movie (during the end credits)
