Reviews and Opinion
On the review website Rotten Tomatoes, 35% of 34 critics are positive, with 4.7/10 rating. One of the critic reviews, Robert Levin said, “It inspires no emotional investment, it has no interesting characters, offers zero chemistry between the stars and not the slightest bit of a reason to be anything but bored”. Another review stated “Under the shiny Netflix-feature-film-budget gift wrapping, you won’t find much in Our Little Secret to feel grateful for,” said Brooks Eisenbise.
There are a lot of critics of the movie, but there are some people who like the movie. “Another winning effort from Lohan and a great way to kick off the post-Thanksgiving season when the Christmas movie bonanza begins,” said Jeffrey Lyles who gives a 9/10 rating.
Alexa Beck, a Junior at Colonia High School enjoyed the movie. “This is a super fun Christmas movie and might become one of my favorites,” Beck said that she would rate this movie an 8/10. Beck says that she would watch this movie every year around Christmas time. “I love Christmas but some Christmas movies are just too much. This movie is nice because it is not just Christmas but it is funny and entertaining. I laughed a few times too.”
My Opinion
I think it’s a pretty good movie, I watched it with my 12-year-old sister and we both loved it. The movie is entertaining, dramatic, and funny. I think the plot is predictable but it’s still not bad. It is a good movie, but it’s not a special movie. I would rate this a 7/10.
Conclusion
The movie is worth watching for people who like lighthearted movies. If you like movies that have a big plot twist, or life-changing movies, you might think that the movie isn’t worth watching.
