“Our Little Secret” is a Netflix romantic comedy starring Lindsay Lohan and Ian Harding. With Kristin Chenoweth, Jon Rudnitsky, and Dan Bucatinsky.
Our beloved Lindsay Lohan is back for Christmas in one of those movies created just for her, where her presence and essence are noticeable from the start: a romantic comedy with a twist that, while family-friendly, has a slightly daring touch.
“Our Little Secret” is a family Christmas romantic comedy that, with good production and perfect script execution, leaves no trace while fulfilling absolutely all the premises of the Christmas movie formula.
Plot
After a tumultuous separation, Avery and Logan reunite at a Christmas dinner, both with different partners who also have past romantic histories.
About the Movie
“Our Little Secret” is one of those films created with the firm purpose of making its main star shine. And that star is none other than Lindsay Lohan, who executes her role to perfection: charming, daring, and modern. The problem: we’ve been watching this same movie for Christmas for three years (that I can remember), and all three with Lindsay Lohan as the protagonist in more or less similar circumstances and in respective romantic comedies.
That said, if you’re a fan of the former Disney child star, you won’t be disappointed, because she’s present in all situations and is the protagonist of all the entanglements. The plot is not a surprise, the main character is not a surprise, and neither is it a surprise in terms of narrative or character construction.
“Our Little Secret” is a movie that delivers exactly what’s expected of it, no more, no less. It neither disappoints nor excites nor stands out among the productions created specifically for these dates close to Christmas. Lindsay Lohan, an experienced and good actress, plays the role she knows, with a mix of sophistication and classicism, with a daring touch while remaining traditional.
Alongside her, Ian Harding is an actor who knows how to play his part: accompanying the star and facilitating the protagonist’s shining moments. As is usual in romantic comedies, there are good supporting actors who fulfill their function: some jokes to liven up the main plot.
Regarding the plot, “Our Little Secret” knows how to play with the passage of time (a fundamental theme in Christmas movies) but, despite its attempt to sell us a different romantic comedy at the beginning, it soon returns to the traditional, which is nothing other than what is expected in these cases.
Another romantic comedy to forget? We very much fear so, although it has good production and the classic touch of the most traditional Hollywood, despite this traditional Hollywood having long since passed on to a better life.
Our Opinion
A movie that Lindsay Lohan fans will enjoy and that gives us exactly what we expect from a Christmas movie. Without surprising, fulfilling the script, and offering a good Christmas product.
