Navidad de golpe

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.

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)

The movie is cheesy, but cute. There are a few issues and you have to suspend your belief that Jake would not remember the lady he ran into earlier that day, hospital staff would let Sierra leave with a stranger, and no one would contact Sierra's father even with her missing for four days. Also, the scenes with Ralph and Tad seemed out of place, but I guess they were trying to go for comedy there. The movie is also predictable, but pretty much every romcom movie set around Christmas is. It is nice seeing Lindsay Lohan in a new movie, and she did a fine job playing Sierra. She also had a good connection with Chord Overstreet who played Jake. The movie is nothing new, but it is a fine movie to watch to get you into the Christmas spirit.

... 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.

There was a lot of hype about this movie and it could have been very good. Lindsay Lohan was better than most of the actresses in these Christmas romances and the lead actor was also fine but why the ridiculous boyfriend and his odd story line, it did not add anything to the movie and it's absurdity dragged the rest of the movie down, it did not fit with the style the rest of the movie was projecting of a homespun Christmas. I know he was meant to contrast but it just was absurd, not amusing. The little girl gave Lindsay some of her finer scenes. It was not the worst Christmas movie, the production was better than 90% of this type but it was a little overdone too and mainly it lacked something in the script unfortunately. It wasn't that it was predictable, we all know that going in, it just did not entertain or draw you in. So not bad, but not good either, just another average Christmas movie.
