Falling for Christmas movie review

MOVIE TITLE: Falling for Christmas movie review

This campy holiday movie is now available exclusively on Netflix.

RATING: TV-PG

LENGTH: 1 hour 33 minutes

MOVIE REVIEW MOM GRADE: B-

IN A NUTSHELL:

In the days leading up to Christmas, a young and newly engaged heiress experiences a skiing accident. After being diagnosed with amnesia, she finds herself in the care of the handsome lodge owner and his daughter.

If you’re prepared for a ridiculously goofy movie with Christmas spirit, you’ll get a kick out of this rom-com.

THINGS I LIKED:

It’s great to see Lindsay Lohan again after her three-year break. Rumor has it that it was her idea to sing Jingle Bell Rock in the movie as a wink to her fans of her movie Mean Girls. Lindsay’s sister, Ali Lohan, has a cameo as Lindsay’s stylist.
Watching this cheeky movie will make you wish you could go on a ski vacation with all of the rich, beautiful people.
It was nice to see Chord Overstreet again. I haven’t seen him do anything since Glee, when he was added on in season 4.
Another face I was happy to see was Olivia Perez. She’s completely adorable. I first noticed her in the musical In the Heights where she played the daughter of Anthony Ramos. For a minute, I thought she really was his daughter because she looks so much like him!
I laughed when Lindsay’s character hits the TV remote control and we hear the Netflix sound logo. The TV instantly starts playing a scene from the Netflix movie Castle Christmas, which is another cheesy, predictable, but cute Christmas movie from last year.
I laughed at the sight of Lindsay doing a spread-eagle to try to get the fitted sheet on a bed. They really can be hard to get on sometimes.
Every comedy should have a blooper reel at the end of the movie during the rolling credits, don’t you think? This one does!
It’s fun hanging out in a ski resort and cozy cabin in the snowy mountains. That’s sure to put you in the holiday mood.
The humor is silly and super cheesy, but it’s still a lot of fun to relax, cuddle under a blanket, and watch this with your family.

THINGS I DIDN’T LIKE:

There are a lot of bad green-screen moments.
You can easily spot stuntwomen and stand-ins for Lindsay Lohan. Even the last kissing scene showed a body double for Lindsay.
There’s an odd gay moment at the end that makes no sense.
Lindsay Lohan is 36 years old, but Chord Overstreet is 33. She looks a LOT older than him and, sadly, they didn’t have much chemistry together.
Ultimately, there’s not a lot of rom or com in this romantic, Christmas comedy.
