The former star stars in the new movie “An Unforgettable Christmas” and tries to remind us all that underneath the controversial figure hides a not bad actress at all. But the result is missed, and the film fails to excite, arouse sympathy, or interest. In fact, it is one of the kitsch movies that was recently released on Netflix
For her rumored comeback, Lindsay Lohan chose a (too) sweet and cheesy Christmas movie, and the result is accordingly. “An Unforgettable Christmas” leaves viewers no room for imagination, no room for identification, no room for excitement, and the result is a film that is not only not good enough, but also almost meaningless.
Lohan plays Sierra in the new film, A rich and spoiled heiress of a billionaire businessman, who is used to the good life, pleasures, servants, and basically getting everything she wants, and immediately. Sierra is engaged to her chosen one, Tad, a self-indulgent social media influencer who doesn’t particularly like her father, thus jeopardizing her close relationship with her father.
Then it happens, during Christmas, Sierra falls in the snow, and loses her memory. The one who finds her is Jake, a simple local guy, and he takes her to his house to take care of her. Yes, exactly what you thought was going to happen, a hot romance develops between the two and they fall in love.
Yes, despite the class differences, despite the difficulties, despite everything. Jake is actually Sierra’s antithesis, he is simple, he volunteers, he is a widower, he has a daughter, he is fighting for his life. And so, in just four days, when no one is looking for her, not even her partner, Sierra undergoes a dramatic change.
From a spoiled girl who is sure that she deserves everything, the heroine turns into a modest, refined girl who cares about the environment and others. This accelerated process overwhelms not only a clichéd dimension, but also a real sense of failure. It also further distances the viewer from the character, so that if for a moment it was possible to feel empathy, that moment has definitely escaped.
In conclusion, Lohan’s comeback film, the mature, responsible, actress, certainly does not deliver the goods. However, according to reports, the actress has already signed two more films with the streaming giant “Netflix”, but the good news is that you really don’t have to watch them.
