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.

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.

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 !!!!!!!!!

This was a predictable Christmas Hallmark-style romance. But it was an enjoyable flick. It was a little more focused on the rom than the com and I would've appreciated the humor being a little less dramatic. But it was, ultimately, very sweet. Lindsey Lohan was fantastic. I haven't watched any movies from her in years and I know she had a lot of issues with drugs and alcohol during that time, but she is a really good Christmas romance choice for a lead! I don't rate Christmas romances very high, so a 7 is a great score from me.... But I do enjoy Christmas romances. And honestly, predictable is what I want from a Christmas romance.
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.
