Falling For Christmas is in many ways a classic corny holiday-themed romantic-comedy complete with over-the-top camp characters, ridiculous physical comedy, corny but sweet romantic gestures, and a gay awakening with a mountain man named Ralph. Wait a second. Okay, maybe it's not your classic holiday rom-com. Instead, the Netflix original is a tongue-in-cheek send-up of the genre, something its star Lindsay Lohan is completely dialed into. No one is taking the material too seriously, and that, ladies and gentlemen, is camp.
A little bit Overboard and a little bit It's A Wonderful Life, Falling for Christmas is an easy holiday watch for the girls, gays, and theys.
