Lindsay Lohan makes a notable return to the screen in Netflix’s festive offering, ‘Our Little Secret.’ This film marks her third collaboration with the streaming giant, following her less successful outings in ‘Falling into Christmas’ and the widely panned ‘Irish Wish.’ While Lohan’s previous films were met with mixed reviews, ‘Our Little Secret’ is a step up, despite the low bar set by its predecessors. The film, directed by Stephen Herek, aims to capture the charm of early 2000s comedies, reminiscent of beloved titles like ‘Meet the Parents’ and ‘Four Christmases.’ The plot revolves around a comical deception as Lohan’s character, Avery, and her ex-boyfriend Logan, played by Ian Harding, find themselves spending the holidays with the same family, unaware that their partners are siblings. This setup leads to a series of humorous yet absurd situations, including accidental consumption of weed gummies and underage drinking. Despite some shortcomings in the humor department, the film benefits from a lively pace and a talented supporting cast, including Kristin Chenoweth, who delivers a standout performance as a high-energy mother. While ‘Our Little Secret’ may not redefine the holiday comedy genre, it provides a lighthearted viewing experience that fans of Lohan and festive films will likely appreciate. As the year wraps up, viewers can enjoy this charming addition to Netflix’s holiday lineup, available for streaming now.
