A tedious watch. I didn't enjoy <em>'Falling for Christmas'</em>. There are a couple of reasons as to why, one of which is the cast - there isn't really a performer that I wanted to watch, perhaps with the exception of Sean Dillingham; he does well in his (very) minimal scenes. Another reason is the story, which is predictable, uninteresting and one that I feel like I've seen elsewhere before. This movie marked the return of Lindsay Lohan in a major lead role. It's good to see her back, but this isn't a performance of her's that I'll remember unfortunately - if not for the actress' name, I wouldn't have noted the character of Sierra to be honest. Lohan isn't helped by being paired with Chord Overstreet, who - don't get me wrong - is on the same level as Lohan in terms of what's given but as a duo I didn't sense any real chemistry at all. The Xmas vibes and all that jazz are alright, but even then I'm reaching for positives. Not good!

Great Christmas movie. Cast was great, performance was good, movie had a interesting story and definitely was a good choice for a family Xmas movie. Also, no woke agenda, thank god. Was a good, clean movie.
