I didn't get to this one on air, but I also saw the Lindsay Lohan 'comeback' movie #FallingForChristmas on #Netflix.

Extremely generic US festive cheese is lifted by Lohan's game physical comedy and willingness to riff on her public image. (A 'Jingle Bell Rock' joke is one of several 'Mean Girls' callbacks.)

'Glee' alum Chord Overstreet is kind of bland and forgettable as her sad single-dad ski-lodge proprietor love interest, but these Christmas movies always kind of need bland vanilla blokes.

There is an irritating comic-relief love rival played by George Young, who struggles with the one-dimensional 'vapid influencer' material he's given, but is perhaps more enthusiastic than Lohan about the slapstick stuff.

Lohan, however, still summons proper warmth. Her career trajectory has been compared to Judy Garland's in a negative way (child star gone bad), but here she channels Garland in a good way: a plucky searcher and believer in goodness despite life's travails.
