Lindsay Lohan’s Comeback

Review of the new Netflix Christmas movie “Falling for Christmas”

     After spending years out of the spotlight, actress Lindsay Lohan, best known for her roles in The Parent Trap and Mean Girls, is back and better than ever. She is starring in the new Netflix movie Falling for Christmas.
     Going into this, I was not expecting very much. I was expecting to not be able to sit through it, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was decently engaging and had me interested the whole time.
     This movie is about a spoiled and newly engaged heiress who finds herself in a terrible ski accident causing her to lose her memory. She is found by a man who owns a small lodge and was recently widowed. He has a daughter who makes a wish for her dad to find love. But the question is, will he find it?
     The chemistry between Lindsay Lohan and Chord Overstreet is what truly brings this movie to life. The romantic-comedy vibe of this movie perfectly fits Lindsay’s personality and Lindsay did an excellent job in this movie after being off the grid for a long time.
     This movie had everything a classic rom-com Christmas movie should have, from the love interests meeting from bumping into each other to a dramatic outfit reveal.
     This movie was extremely predictable and did have some questionable aspects, but when watching a corny movie like this, you can expect it to be like that. It can be viewed from two completely different perspectives while watching this movie.      You can view it as a fun simple Christmas movie that can be an enjoyable watch, or you can view it as a terrible movie with corny jokes and something you just cannot sit through.
     I do recommend this movie, it is worth that watch and can be something fun to watch with friends or family. If you enjoy the classic Hallmark-type movies, you will enjoy this, but if you don’t, I still say give it a try. It might surprise you; I know it surprised me.
