Lindsay Lohan Shines in Netflix's 'Our Little Secret'
Lindsay Lohan's resurgence in Hollywood continues with Netflix's festive comedy Our Little Secret , a film that offers her most enjoyable performance yet in her streaming partnership. This movie marks her third outing with Netflix, following the sugary Falling into Christmas and the less-than-stellar Irish Wish . While the film doesn’t aim to reinvent the wheel, it’s a lighthearted holiday romp that lets Lohan remind us of the charm and screen presence that made her a star in the first place.

Set against the chaos of holiday family gatherings, Our Little Secret follows Avery (Lohan) and Logan (Ian Harding), former lovers who, by sheer coincidence, find themselves dating siblings and spending Christmas with the same family. Their decision to hide their past relationship leads to a cascade of absurd situations involving accidental edibles, awkward speeches, and some hilariously outlandish family drama. The premise may be far-fetched, but the execution is brisk and engaging, with a cast that brings life to an otherwise standard rom-com script.
Kristin Chenoweth, playing a gloriously over-the-top matriarch inspired by Real Housewives , is a scene-stealer, adding flair and humor every time she appears. Meanwhile, supporting performances from comedic veterans like Tim Meadows, Judy Reyes, and Dan Bucatinsky elevate the film, filling it with moments of genuine amusement and heart.
Though the screenplay isn’t groundbreaking, it attempts to channel the charm of early 2000s romantic comedies. Directed by Stephen Herek, known for classics like The Mighty Ducks and Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure , the film aspires to evoke nostalgia for studio rom-coms with a contemporary holiday twist.
Lohan is convincing as Avery, striking a balance between vulnerability and wit. Her chemistry with Harding brings warmth to their bickering dynamic, even if the script sometimes leans too heavily on clichéd tropes like edible-induced mishaps. Still, her comedic timing proves she’s more than capable of leading a film in this genre.
Our Little Secret may not redefine Christmas comedies, but it delivers a festive, feel-good experience. For fans of Lohan and those seeking an easygoing holiday film, it’s a minor yet satisfying win. Now streaming on Netflix, it’s the perfect watch for those cozy winter nights.
