Falling For Christmas is the dumbest movie you'll ever see... 

Lindsey said that women who spoke out about abuse (metoo) were weak. She sided with Harvey Note: she apologized when people got upset and said she didn’t know anything about how they felt bc it never happened to her (this could be denial but regardless, she sucks) I do think getting better is good in general though. Addiction is one ugly monster

What happen to her

Totally agree

@@NYCDunkz I don’t know for sure because I don’t follow her life but I think addiction?

I watched it yesterday. It was really stupid and predictable, but I really appreciated seeing Lindsay in movies again. I definitely would appreciate if she could do more serious work that will get her back on track. I only kept with the movie because of her.

agreed, it's hard to do that and most people just give up.

I respect their commitment… but in some cases, they’re doing more bad than good trying too hard to fit back in

mila tequila has a really great deep dive on Lindsay that totally changed my perspective of her in the 2010s. I feel bad for her and how she was treated by the public. I'm happy for her that she is acting again, despite the sketch MBS connection she has

You respect a celebrity that has nothing but an easy life (yet managed to fuck even that up in a major way) to not be an insane druggie? Wow your standards are low.

@@livewiiiiire Its all perspective really. As a kid, i thought she was just insane. Now that Ive grown up a bit and gon through my own struggles with addiction, its easy to see how she'd be feeling

maybe they spent their whole budget on christmas decorations and that's why they have no money lol

that's what I was thinking too! sell all the decorations, cutting the energy bills because of the lights, and you're good for at least one more season!

Wait, you buy new decor each year? In my house we bought it years ago and keep using it, we just buy something if actually needed. I assumed that’s what they did?

Nick DiRamio did a commentary on a different hallmark movie a while back where he made a comment like “that’s a lot of Christmas lights for most tax brackets” and that’s all I could think of reading this comment 😂

i loved how you called him Sam when that’s the character he played in Glee and in this movie the character’s name is Jake

STFU. Falling for Christmas is the better title. Stop hating on LiLo. Please GTFO here if you are just hating. BTW they did NOT miss an opputnity here so shut up, a**hole. In other words, your thinking and opinion are so damn wrong, HK P. Thanks, girl. Long live Lindsay Lohan forever, girl.

oml no- 😭✋

the Papa Roach song as the theme song

I think she did most of the chewing herself. Cant blame everything on "Hollywood"

Hm.

@@shift7808 what do you know

@@shift7808 The trauma that results from being in the spotlight that young is what caused her addictions. Addictions shouldn't be looked at punitively, but should be seen as a symptom that needs to be treated. It can be argued that the public's desire to see famous people fall is a large part of the problem that fuels the toxic climate that brings on the implosion of stars, and especially child stars. Yes, she turned to substances, but none of us helped the situation by buying the tabloids and clicking on the articles that cashed in on her difficulties. Hollywood can be a toxic place and is a poor place to grow up.

Child *actress.*

Yeeeaaahhhhh...This is not the way.

Seconded, it made me realise how much I'd missed seeing Lindsay in the spotlight, but at least things seem to be getting better for her, since she recently got married.

And THIS is the movie she chose to do that??!😂😂

@@coreymckee4844 I don't think she has many options on the first place soo

Yeah exactly, like I know this movie is gonna be cliché, predictable and dumb but for what it's worth, it's nice to see Lindsay Lohan in a movie again

When it was revealed he help people all the time. Dont do that if you cant afford it.

😂💀

Oop-

The Hallmark kids are all scheming to replace their least favorite parents 😳 /j

I feel like DylanIsInTrouble would come up with this plot. 😂

Lmbo 😂

It was pretty well established throughout the movie that he is very well known in the community

@@magotheguy173 So are most serial killers. Seems weird to let a brain damaged person stay with a complete stranger

@@genericname2747 being that he runs a lodge that's been around for 3 generations, and all the donations came from strangers who stayed there, I don't know why they would have second thoughts

@@magotheguy173 Still weird that a brain damaged person is being left with a complete stranger. Like, she needs to be monitored to make sure she's okay

Child stars dont need more love from the general public, they need to be more protected from the people in the industry and as a society, we need to stop supporting famous people who are known abusers like mf Polanski

mean girls was also a classic. she's been in a group of entertaining movies

Child stars rarely go on to have adult performing careers. There are a lucky, talented few who manage, like Lindsay Lohan, Leonardo DiCaprio, & Drew Barrymore, and many others who aren't as lucky. Dana Plato, Heather O'Rourke, Todd Bridges, River Phoenix, Macauley Culkin, to name a few. The problem isn't the stars, it's the audience. The audience doesn't like seeing their childhood darlings grow up. It means they have grow up, too, and they don't like being reminded.

@@richarda29 erm...have you watched any interviews with those child stars and documentaries on their lives? Some of them literally go though hell: Corey Feldman - abuse, tons of 'alleged' rape cases and stuff goes down spiral...almost similar with Macauley Culkin - problems with parents (that wanted only their kid's money), abuse and 'alleged' rape by some of the producers or whatever. The Terminator 2 kid...same thing - parent problems, drugs etc-etc-etc...these people deserve better. I'm glad that some of them actually are coming back and doing much better. They all should be cheered up...they've been through hell. so audience has nothing to do with the actor's problems (the Star wars prequels kid is an exclusion! - people were assholes towards this poor guy...I hated the way they had dialogues, but never blamed the kid...not his fault, he tried his best)

I agree. Happy to see she's doing better by herself.

Hi my name is what? my name is who? my name is chika chika slim shady

EXACTLY

@@ilsegonzalez811 Jesus loves you ❤️

Jesus loves you ❤️

theyre cheesy, but they don't have to be THIS bad. christmas prince, princess switch, and christmas inheritance were all way better than this one. but I am happy that Lindsay is doing better, I love her to death.

I have seen many Hallmark movies (really Hallmark) of the recent years and they are rarely bad. By bad I mean completely predictable and boring, stories that make zero sense, weak character development, etc. Hallmark movies are successful for a reason, they're not any of that. They're usually very nice movies and not supposed to be straight up bad like you say.

I agree. Especially since "influencers" who promote lifestyle and so on are not even that good and mostly shallow while this is oddly entertaining (or I might just be weird :D).

I primarily watch DIYers and you have a dang point!!!

Bro imagine a 5 min crafts movie

I want to see them use the gamer word in a Netflix movie

I want to see youtube animators or ones who make silly skits. And they could use those annoying political influencers if they want a shallow influencer

I was so bummed he didn't get together with Santa Clause.

Terry was his gay awakening lol

I thought he was gay throughout the entire movie. I thought they wanted to make him seem gay.

My favorite 0art of the movie hands down

IKR I saw that scene and was like “ayo he hitting it off with this guy now?”

☺️

@Don't Read My Profile Photo Alright

@Don't Read My Profile Photo Why do I always fall for these?

me too. Stil instinctively waiting for the thigh slap every time I hear the song, whatever the version..

@@excessivelyfangirlingbookw3339 🤣

my stupid ass immediately thought about Lilo from Lilo & Stich..my bad...

If the big budget box office had been an option for her she would not have skipped that. She did however show up, as you say, in this silly movie. Good for her, hope she keeps it up.

Lol she can’t get anything else

@@lja530 what block buster films?? Most are just boring comic book and horror films. She’s too cool for that

I feel like this will be her for awhile until she earns back the respect of the public, she’ll go small and work her way up to something bigger eventually. She’s essentially starting her career over again.

No

Absolutely

That's my theory regarding She Hulk, so yes

I watched this movie, and yes. Actually, the movie seems better in these review videos than it really is 😂😂

Yes

Do t u just love it. Maybe u don’t really hate the film but despise any film with a boy meets girl Christmas plot. It just breaks your heart. Single Mama

She was an incredible actress... I don't understand how you can loose talent like this.

@@specialagentweener1073 Lindsay Lohan didn't lose her talent. It's a starter film for her to get back into the groove. The last time she acted was doing season two of _Sick Note_ in early 2018 in the UK, which was her acting comeback. Her role in _Among the Shadows_ (2019) was shot in Nov 2015 in Belgium and she also did a short film _Till Human Voices Wake Us_ in early 2015. _Falling for Christmas_ was shot between Nov/Dec 2021 in Utah. So it marks almost 4 years since she last acted, exactly 6 years since she last acted in a movie, and its release marks over 13 years since the release of her last romcom _Labor Pains_ in 2009. She just filmed her next Netflix movie _Irish Wish_ between Sep/Oct 2022 in Ireland and it's far more elaborate. It's a return to form and involves her character magically swapping lives with her best friend the day before the latter's wedding.

Lohan is a junkie.

@@poppinc8145 Omg I didn't know she was doing another movie! Thank you!

@@specialagentweener1073 but u never has talent

I was looking for someone to mention Overboard!! It’s literally a remake of it with a twist! lol

That was my first thought too. "So it's Overboard Christmas edition?"

Same! “That’s her!” “Who?” “The BITCH!!”

Came here just for this comment!

Yep that's the comment I was looking for. Actually if they did Alex's suggestion it would be 100% Overboard

Really? “Person that hates Christmas meets other person that loves Christmas and by the end of the movie, the person who hates Christmas changes their mind” is such a popular setup. It’s like 90% of their movies. 7% is probably “Santa is real and he grants a wish so someone learns a lesson and falls in love”. I’m surprised that wasn’t at least one of them. The other 3% is just random contrived love story crap.

@@RB-vo4gi That's very true haha! Surprisingly, we only got one or two of those as opposed to the whole, but now that you mention it it feels like there should have been more

This sounds really fun😆

Love, wholesome , Christmas movies your CULTURAL MARXIST TEACHER DESPISED SO HE BRAINWASHED THE CLASS TO HATE FAMILY, Christmas, and heterosexuality. Bigot.

@@RB-vo4gi u sound like someone who is single, not by choice, and a CULTURAL MARXIST ATHEIST WHO hates Christmas, Christians AND Western CULTURE

The wife was Latina

So ignorant. She was his biological daughter and even if not she could have been adopted. It’s best not to comment on a difference of appearance between parents and their children

Alternate ending: She falls down while skiing and straight up dies because her brain can't handle being damaged twice in a row

That's what I was waiting for. Didn't help that I had finished watching 20th Century Girl right before this movie. That highlighted the lack of chemistry between the two main characters in this movie. My mom was acting like I was too harsh on the movie. But even as someone who loves Christmas movies on Netflix, this one wasn't good at all.

Its a Christmas romcom netflix movie, it was never gonna be deep

@@crazyowlgirlcncowner : 20th century girl a good one?

@@LucyFerr000 it's a Korean movie. I'd heard great things about it and I was not disappointed lmao. But it's sadly not about Christmas.

Don’t forget to add Disney movies to that

And Disney

ik I'm late to this video but this is literally the exact plot of an older movie I watched as a kid. That movie is worse though bc instead of one daughter he has 4 feral sons, and he acts like an absolute shit "husband" to her (he told her she was his wife and the boys' mother).

@Donna October Spot on analogy

@Donna October They are not horrific, b**ch. Thanks, girl.

Lmao glad I wasn't the only one who thought that

ikr, even if he was annoying, I still feel bad for him

He didn't love her. And he most certainly did mot desperately search for her. He was with her to get clout. I don't feel bad for him.

"WHAT KIND OF CRAP FOREST DOESN'T HAVE A CELL TOWER?!"

I have cursed skiing family memories as well lol my uncle decided to go to the steepest mountain when he could barely stand on skiis. Almost killed a random 5 year old boy by snowballing into him. Never laughed so hard in my life (kid was fine lol)

How is this a "fun fact" loool? Maybe a fun story but it's certainly not a fact that anyone besides you would know about.

@@poppinc8145 it's not that serious my guy

My grandparents took me skiing and I got a lesson. Anyways, the rest of the class was on top of this slope and there were two ways to go, down the slope or straight on a flat surface. We were all agreeing on going straight bc we were too nervous to go down the "steep" hill. But ofc I just slowly started sliding backwards down the slope and I didn't know how to stop so I slid all the way down the hill we didn't want to go on until I landed in the snow bank and got stuck. I remember hearing our instructor say, "welp, guess that's decided" and he had to help me out 💀 fun trip tho lmao

I came here to also say this 👆🏻

Same though - was like “wait,,, did they just rip off the Overboard story and add a little snow and feel good?!?”

Yes!

Literally saw the commercial and was like oh so Lindsay Lohan is back and Hallmark Christmas is an Overboard remake this year

Never compare, girl.

I died too 😂

Oh my God. I watched this with my wife last night and I did the exact same thing. I predicted them getting engaged in the beginning, falling off the mountain and love interest guy finding her at the bottom. It's so God damn predictable anymore.

tbh I think these kind of movies are supposed to be cheesy , cliche and predictable for the ppl who love those kinds of romance.

It is literally overboard rebranded for Christmas 😂

@sansyeux I disagree- sure they are mostly predictable but the good ones still find ways to keep it fun and engaging- they are full of character development and the conflict exists because of the characters not as a plot device. The leads also have chemistry and you are rooting for them. A great example is one of my favourites What’s your number. We get this people pleasing girl who spends her entire life trying to be perfect for everyone around her- she is never herself in relationships and as a result they never work out. Her “perfect” sister is getting married and her mum is overbearing and Critical (makes sense why she is like she is). Then she reads an article in her favourite magazine that is a Study that says most women who sleep with over 20 people can’t find a husband. She then makes a list and finds out she’s slept with 19. Then decides to track down her ex’s- again it’s how she works her belief is that she needs to fit into this societal ideal of women right and find a husband and her worst fear is never having that. She then makes a deal with her neighbour (aka the love interest) who helps her track down her ex’s and meanwhile they form a relationship. This works because the conflict is rooted in The MC’s desire to not be alone and the love interests fear of commitment. But he also is jealous and acts out because he is afraid she will find better than him. It’s not a random conflict and it also isn’t miscommunication is done out of fear and the mc not really knowing who she is. The character development comes because of this argument and her “perfect boyfriend” who she finds with her first love, who her mum approves of, but realises she hasn’t been herself and around the love interest can be herself. Anyways at the end her and the neighbour reunite as she says that she is sorry and that he was right and she can be herself around him. Then he says he’s sorry he’s scared and screwed up. And also realises she does not care about her number and external standards set for her. The fact they are going to Get together is predictable but that’s why I love rom coms- it’s not about how it ends but about the journey it takes them to get there. You are invested because the story is rooted in the characters. The actors have chemistry and it is well written and acted. Where as this film is predictable but it’s not enjoyable because the film itself is very surface level, some scenes go on way longer than they should, the jokes feel like they fall flat, it’s all external conflict- it’s not as if with her memory she is able to start again, there was no desire to prove Herself or desire to escape her life- it wasn’t like a she has everything but love and genuine people- and then she finds it. The characters were tolerable but some were super unlikeable and overall I just wasn’t invested.

These movies are comfort movies, i enjoy them coz i know the ending

It's the only way to insert a precocious child who does nothing but act the opposite of how real children act.

Watching Alex Meyers is like watching the movie for free and making it bearable, especially if it’s a bad movie, even if I might miss some scenes lol Because of Alex Meyers, I watched the entire Zombies franchise without seeing the actual movies

He’s wrong about this one. He really is. It’s not that bad. I actually enjoyed it. I thought, “oh no, she’s doing hallmark type movies!” But it actually had funny scenes where you just laugh out loud. It was fun to watch!

Same.

Right! So glad I don’t have to watch it now, but I’m glad Lindsay is back. I’m in the U.K. but why is there always an annoying British person? There are other places in the world to get people to be the antagonist. Meh.

But he doesn't cover the actual good ones that are worth watching so you should definitely try to watch them for yourself!

me too lol. As someone who actually lost my mom, the lack of depth in these types of scenes annoy me sometimes.

And the kids in these movies are just IMPOSSIBLY cute and sweet, so that the protagonist can't help but love them. They literally act like perfect angels all the time 😂

That would be too "depressing" for the movie.

That’s really cool! It might be, people love these cheesy Christmas movies

It might be, the film has been watched by lots of people!

It could be 🤷🏽‍♀ She could get future rolls because of it!

Well if it is a hallmark movie you can expect it to because they reuse people frequently

Favourite character 💅

Exactly what I was thinking

I laughed much harder than I expected to lol

thanks 😊

I agree, it’s definitely a cheesy-in-a-good-way type of movie, I do wish the scene when he spilled his coffee on her dress was referenced though, they literally never brought that up again😅

I want what Tad and Ralph had too!!!

I've been wanting to watch this. Do I need to break out the Hallmark bingo even though it's not a Hallmark movie?

@@yukismith4518 you can check off main character that has never worked in that line of work before saves failing business, child wishes for widowed parent to find love, guy dressed as santa being really santa and showing up everywhere to guide the characters, Christmas miracles, spoiled rich kid learns the value of work, second chance at love, rushing to make a love confession, bonding over dead parents, and girl falls in love with a guy while already in a relationship with another guy but we're not supposed to feel bad for the guy being cheated on.

@@mellyq92 to be fair she lost her memory. Still, why does he have to be the stereotypical annoying British dude? To me, British accents are attractive. Ngl, I want to see a movie where there’s a rich British dude whose parents cut him off, meets a British middle-class woman, and she teaches him how to do simple tasks, like cooking or chopping wood, for comedy. They fall in love in the process.

😂😂😂

Yeah, that's the whole point of Alex Meyer's videos 🤨

@@quirogatnonerrat3214 she knows she likes it lol

Or he

Not dead just heavily damaged

Same

So he was gay?

@D. N. Or he could be bi or pan.

@@d.n.3652 he could be Bi 😊

She's a mediocre actress. Would I rather see her over someone like abuser Emma Roberts? Heck yes. But let's not pretend she's a great thespian.

There is an old video (a vine maybe?) of someone passionately saying that in a parallel universe, Lindsay would have had Emma Stone's career and I agree! I love her and a happy to see her in a better place.

Lindsey is still alive so let’s be thankful

@@tdelioncourt1268 Those comparisons are stupid and hurtful the whole Lindsay vs Emma thing! Because obviously Emma got famous much later in life and had a healthier background and family and Lilo grew up in the business and suffered through a lot including addiction it will never be comparable and i'm happy Lindsay gave us iconic movies we still enjoy and she's back doing silly comedies we all grew up watching her in.

@Don't Read My Profile Photo already did bot 🤣

@Don't Read My Profile Photo u stuck in 2014

Same! I love me some corny Christmas movies. Even if I roll my eyes 100 times while watching one movie, I'm gonna just continue to look for another one to watch right after 🙈

Same. It was kinda just chill no need to think. And it was cute at the end. Maybe because I'm ND and things like doing chores represent and independence some of us never obtain. But it did feel like the message was she actually did want to work. And she had social skills all along getting people to the lodge and throwing a party. I mean who knows if he knew how to anyways. As much as those skills can be thought of as shallow, event planning IS a skill. Idk it wasn't like I was sobbing at the end. It was just cute.

Watching it with Alex Meyers makes it more enjoyable - I liked the ski lodge owner having a happy ending It’s an okay movie; I like corny and cheesy

She has a podcast

It’s crazy how similar it is to back when she used to act but just a little different from being older. So surreal!

She definitely has a very unique voice and it gives a lot of people including me the nostalgia factor!

Maybe because we know sometimes dead is better. Don't mess with bringing back dead people. It will screw a lot of things up.

then that would've been Life Size (2000)

I agree, but she's not that good of an actor lol
