Nuestro secretito

The rating of 7/10 is perhaps a bit too high, but I just liked "Our Little Secret". You turn on the film and you know perfectly well after the first minutes how it will end - the definition of Christmas cinema. So there are no surprises. This film doesn't revolutionize anything, but it doesn't have to either. It's just a pleasant, warm film.

There isn't even much to write about plot. It's a typical story about two ex-lovers having to pretend they don't know each other, and that makes they fall in love again. Cliché - which is also not a flaw of this film. This is how it was supposed to be and it is.

So it's another light Christmas movie that you watch to cheer yourself up and kill time. What distinguishes it, however, is the humor. These (christmas) films are practically never funny (to me). This one was and I treat this as the best recommendation. There is no complex plot, the characters are interesting at times, but nothing more than "two personality traits and a pretty face" cannot be counted on. Here also without any surprises - which can be treated as a plus, because you turning on this film you get exactly what you expect.

Lindsay Lohan and Kristi Chenoweth shine on screen. They squeeze everything they can out of their roles, and their acting are extremely (by the standards of Christmas cinema) pleasant to watch. The rest of the actors are the background for them - which doesn't disturb the viewing at all. The most important thing for me is that there are no actors who clearly can't act, because it always knocks you out of the atmosphere when someone plays like a dummy.

To sum up - the film as a light Christmas cinema is fantastic choice. It has a few silly things typical of the genre and a simple story and characters, but the film as a whole is pleasant to watch. There are moments when it is really funny, which makes it clear that Netflix has finally managed to make a decent movie with a Christmas tree in the background.

I actually felt like watching the proposal. Ideas were good, there was fun and honestly for the first time in a while i actually felt chemistry between linday and her co-star. I'm very surprised in a very good way and i did enjoy watching it from start to end . Glad to see a real return for Lindsay as the previous movies for holidays werent that good. ( also a good return to well written movies with a storyline and not just " movie stars ") Maybe its time for lindsay to move from christmas movies and return to more commercial ones.

Definitively must watch! Enjoy!

Merry christmas everyone !!!!!!!!!

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.

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.
