Nuestro secretito

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.

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.

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.

Its like a lot of movies, somethign to watch vs nothing, is what I categorize it Its not a movie to pick to intentionally watch much less pay to see And the aful filter on their skin kept making me think it as an AI generated movie or one where cartoons characters are supposed to look real. I could not even concentrate on the movie because of how eerie their complexions looked vs natural.

In short if you just want to watch an okay movie or occupy time then sure watch this. But its not something I would pick if my time is really important. Id personally want to watch a movie thats at least a 7 and this is not one.

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.
