Lindsay Lohan has starred in a rom-com movie for the first time since 2018—and it is not as good as expected.

Falling for Christmas is a Netflix original that follows a newly-engaged heiress as she loses her memory after a skiing accident.

When I heard that Lindsay Lohan was going to be in a new movie, I was really excited. Watching her in Mean Girls and The Parent Trap shaped my childhood, but when I heard it was a Christmas movie, I lowered my excitement.

It’s not that I don’t like Christmas movies, but I feel like every movie made after 2000 doesn’t have the same nostalgic feel as pre-2000s holiday movies.

As soon as I turned on Falling for Christmas, I knew it was going to be a horrible movie. Lohan’s character of Sierra Belmont is suffocatingly stuck-up, and although I understand that’s the point, it’s really difficult to get beyond the rest of the movie without cringing at everything she says.

It seems like the writers and directors tried way too hard to make the movie “trendy.” With the multiple mentions of Instagram and Twitter, and even having the Netflix app front and center in a shot, the film gave off too much of a “modern influencer Christmas” twist that I wasn’t fond of at all.

The story of the rich girl reformed is terribly overdone, and sticking a tree and ornaments on it to make it a Christmas movie doesn’t make it any better.

All of that being said, Lindsay Lohan looks better than ever, and it was great to see her on the big screen again.
