Quartile rating: 6/10 · 1 rating
An engaged, spoiled hotel heiress finds herself in the care of a handsome, blue-collar lodge owner and his precocious daughter after getting amnesia in a skiing accident.
Falling for Christmas is a thoroughly formulaic holiday rom-com that recycles well-worn tropes: amnesia, class contrast, a charming widower with an adorable kid, and a conveniently timed Christmas resolution. Lindsay Lohan's return to the screen provides some nostalgic appeal and her performance is likable enough, but the script offers little originality or surprise. The cinematography is competent holiday fare with cozy lodge aesthetics but nothing distinctive. The ending resolves exactly as expected with no dramatic tension. Novelty scores rock-bottom as one of the more derivative entries in the already formulaic Netflix holiday rom-com genre.
