[PREVIEW] 'Our Little Secret' Enters The Lindsay Lohan Cinematic Universe

Lindsay Lohan isn’t just a zany rom-com leading lady! She’s a (semi) serious rom-com leading lady. After “Falling for Christmas” (extremely unhinged) and “Irish Wish” (extremely AI-generated), Lohan apparently wanted to work on a film that was slightly more grounded. Enter “Our Little Secret.”“Our Little Secret” follows exes Avery (Lohan) and Logan (Ian Harding), as they find themselves in an awkward situation over the holidays, when 10 years after their acrimonious breakup, they discover that their new partners are siblings. Obviously, hijinks ensue! And our gal Lindsay is *made* for hijinks. (A particularly delightful scene sees her attempting to do a reading at her boyfriend’s family church while she is extremely high.)Like “Hot Frosty,” the supporting cast of “Our Little Secret” is stacked. Kristen Chenoweth is a pitch-perfect as Lohan’s cutting, icy, potential future mother-in-law, and while Dan Bucatinsky, Tim Meadows and Judy Reyes all feel a bit underutilized, it is a pleasure to see them on our screens. This movie is still, of course, a made-for-streaming rom-com, but it’s also closer to the type of film you might have once expected to see getting a theatrical release. The direction by Stephen Herek, whose past works include “Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s Dead,” “The Mighty Ducks” and “Mr. Holland’s Opus,” is skilled, the performances mostly work, and there are enough laughs to see you through the hour and 40 minutes. Plus, Ian Harding is a guy you might actually have a crush on! In this episode, we go beat by beat and discuss what we enjoyed about this movie, and what didn’t work quite as well. Plus, we get into the unhinged choices made in that extended 10-years-pass credits sequence. Hope you enjoy!
