Lindsay Lohan is the lead in holiday movie Falling for Christmas, which premieres on Netflix November 10. Lohan plays a spoiled hotel heiress named Sierra who has a skiing accident, suffers from amnesia, and finds herself in the care of a handsome, blue-collar lodge owner and his precocious daughter with Christmas days away.
Chord Overstreet plays the lodge owner, Jake.
Back in March, Lohan and Netflix worked out a deal where the actress would star in two films.
In September, Lohan starred in the Netflix movie Irish Wish.
A New York Times review of Falling for Christmas said the movie does not exactly break new ground in terms of holiday movies. “Falling for Christmas isn’t a Hallmark Channel original, but it certainly resembles one. Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: A gallant blue-collar widower strikes up an improbable romance with a wealthy, stuck-up heiress betrothed to a cocky himbo who is written expressly to be disliked. The rich young woman and the blue-collar guy don’t have much in common at first, but she soon shows a predilection for domestic labor, making it clear that she can be reformed. But her fiancé is irredeemable, because he’s on his phone a lot and uses terms of endearment like ‘angelcakes’.”
The film runs for an hour and 33 minutes. George Young, Jack Wagner and Olivia Perez are also in the cast.
Lohan’s movies include The Parent Trap, Freaky Friday and Mean Girls. She described the Christmas movie, on Good Morning America, as “the perfect script full of love and family and romance and joy all in one.” ■
