A tedious watch.

I didn't enjoy 'Falling for Christmas'. There are a couple of reasons as to why, one of which is the cast - there isn't really a performer that I wanted to watch, perhaps with the exception of Sean Dillingham; he does well in his (very) minimal scenes. Another reason is the story, which is predictable, uninteresting and one that I feel like I've seen elsewhere before.

This movie marked the return of Lindsay Lohan in a major lead role. It's good to see her back, but this isn't a performance of her's that I'll remember unfortunately - if not for the actress' name, I wouldn't have noted the character of Sierra to be honest. Lohan isn't helped by being paired with Chord Overstreet, who - don't get me wrong - is on the same level as Lohan in terms of what's given but as a duo I didn't sense any real chemistry at all.

The Xmas vibes and all that jazz are alright, but even then I'm reaching for positives. Not good!
