Our Little Secret (film)

It stars Lindsay Lohan, alongside an ensemble cast featuring Ian Harding, Tim Meadows, Jon Rudnitsky, Judy Reyes, Henry Czerny, Chris Parnell, and Kristin Chenoweth.

Our Little Secret follows Avery (Lohan), who is spending her first Christmas with her boyfriend's family but discovers her ex is also part of the holiday festivities and decides to hide their romantic history.

When Avery readily accepts an opportunity to work in London, he tries to propose at her farewell party, but she breaks up with him, uncomfortable with the pressure.

As the edibles kick in, she ends up improvising and recounts the Bethlehem story by reciting lyrics from Kool & the Gang's "Celebration".

When Avery is called by her father's real estate agent, seeking the house key, Logan volunteers to drive her.

Logan accidentally discovers Erica's husband Leonard having an affair with Sophie's mother and Stan's wife, Marge.

On January 22, 2024, Netflix revealed that Lindsay Lohan would be starring in Our Little Secret with principal photography underway in Atlanta and ran through late February.

"[9] Lohan and Harding revealed they filmed the more vulnerable moments between their characters first which allowed them to understand their connection and how close they were before shooting the "awkward" scenes.

[11] Chenoweth stated her love for playing a "villain" drew her to the character and compared it to The Real Housewives of Atlanta,[12] adding that comedians like Teri Garr and Carol Burnett inspired her performance.

[21] Netflix Music released a soundtrack album featuring the movie's score and the song "Happiest Christmas Tree" performed by Aliana Lohan on November 27, 2024.

"[38] Benjamin Lee of The Guardian compared the film to Meet the Parents and Four Christmases, calling it a "perfectly adequate Christmas comedy that could do with a boost.

"[39] Variety's Owen Gleiberman wrote: "You watch Our Little Secret, seeing through the paper-thin contrivances, tittering at the imbecilities, and somehow that all becomes part of the experience.

"[40] Writing for RogerEbert.com, Marya E. Gates describes Lohan as a "sharp screwball comedienne" who "crafts an easy chemistry with Harding," also praising Chenoweth as a "fantastic [...] bless-your-heart Southern Queen Bee," concluding that the film makes the case that "if studios would back these kinds of mid-budget films for theatrical release, maybe we'd have movie stars again.
