Verdict on Falling for Christmas
Falling For Christmas is a Christmas romance movie that follows an heiress that loses her memory and finds herself in a humbling situation. It sees her helping a struggling lodge owner that puts his heart and soul into the lodge. Only it has come up against financial hardships.
When it comes to Christmas movies, we know they are not the most rounded stories. They usually involved a shallow character needing to go through a big change in their life over the Christmas period. This is no different, going through a checklist with ease. It has the basic charm and feel-good experience without being anything we haven’t seen before. Lindsay Lohan looks like she had a blast making the movie, returning to her romantic comedy roots.
Where to Watch: Falling for Christmas is available on Netflix now.
Final Thoughts – Falling for Christmas is a by-the-books Christmas romance movie.
