Falling for Christmas

Take this movie for what it is...it's Christmas romcom a la early 2000s meant to spark that twinge of nostalgia for millennials, add in the queen of the young millennial spirit herself and the kid from glee and you've got a recipe tailored to 30 somethings, entirely alone and nothing else to do. Yes of course, gays of all ages will tune in but only the 80s born will not question the wholly ridiculous premise and goings on of this film...I think everyone involved fully knows this is just an excuse to see Lindsay do something fun and not seriously be aiming for the moon, it took all pressure off, and why not make it a holiday grab at the same time...it's everything you want from a Lohan-Christmas-romcom-millennial-esque even right down to the Ali Lohan cameo.

... 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.

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.

It's so good to see Lindsay Lohan back! I enjoyed this movie a lot. It was festive and heartwarming and to me, that's what Christmas movies are all about! I like the "forget who I am" trope and it worked well in this movie with Chord and Lindsay. They had a good chemistry between them. Olivia Perez was a little shining star as Chord's onscreen daughter-she was so adorable in all of her scenes! I loved seeing Jack Wagner back on my TV again to play a father role in the movie. Definitely recommend watching-Falling for Christmas is a great choice for Christmas movie night for family or date night!
