Falling for Christmas Reviews
Lindsay Lohan's stardom doesn't help this clichéd Christmas rom-com.
| Jun 11, 2024
Lindsay Lohan’s return to romantic comedies feels like the best kind of homecoming for 90s kids. Lohan was a tremendous part of our lives growing up, and having her in a Christmas film as adults feels like a warm hug of sorts.

The end result is perfect background noise for wrapping presents, or a good reason for a cackling friend-watch and group activity (while getting jolly and juiced).

I'd probably rather have a losing day at the Belmont racetrack than watch again this loser Christmas film.
| Original Score: C | Dec 24, 2022
While it only reaches the height of hallmarks set before, its infusion of modernized influencers and classic soap opera “amnesia” feel give it enough to be an entertaining holiday watch.

Lohan excels in a heartwarming, delightfully predictable Christmas flick.

Some actors shoot for Oscars, and that’s great. Lohan’s magic power has always been bringing to life films that have the simple goal of being unchallenging delights. If for that and that alone, Falling for Christmas is a gift.

It's exactly what you want it to be.

Hokey as heck, sure. The holiday bedazzling is fun, the preposterous story is easy comfort, and it's great to see LIndsay Lohan doing well
| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 26, 2022
The overall mood is warm and cheery, and Lohan brings a spontaneous sincerity to even the corniest scenes. The movie’s wrapping is shiny and plastic, but its star quality is genuine.

This at least embraces its own absurdities, leans into the unreality of the whole shebang and simply lets Lohan remind us of the star power that once made films...

This is a really great role for her [Lindsay Lohan] This will be a comeback for her. She's having fun with it. She knows how to play posh, lavish, hoity toity Paris Hilton type
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 19, 2022
Lindsay Lohan’s comeback movie is easily already jostling for the position of Worst Festive Film of 2022.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 19, 2022
... The film runs over its conclusion clinging to a drowning hand -- flashbacks of Sierra and Jake -- to try to put [emotional] weight into an already watered-down story. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 17, 2022
Ultimately, Lohan stops short of playing two roles in one movie, a Lindsay Lohan and Netflix original movie classic. But there’s always next Christmas. For now, let the Lohanaissance commence.

This is a rom-com in which both rom and com are in short supply, with zero chemistry between Lohan and Overstreet and a decidedly half-hearted attitude to the pratfalls.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 15, 2022
The film is a serviceable feel-good romance, but its premise -- heiress with amnesia who nobody in a small town recognizes -- requires blind faith, and making light of skiing accidents isn't in particularly good taste.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 15, 2022
Lohan deserves far better material than this vacuous vehicle, as sickly sweet as a six-foot candy cane and with all the emotional depth of a Hallmark Christmas card.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 15, 2022
Falling For Christmas isn’t doing anything groundbreaking for the holiday genre. But it’s a well-produced, sweet story with a charming cast.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 14, 2022
This healthy dollop of Christmas camp, which is a little batty by even Netflix holiday movie standards, is eager to give Lohan something to do. That’s the point, and that’s what the movie pleasingly accomplishes.
