	Author	Review
United States	Richard Lawson Vanity Fair	"It's a story of reinvention for an actor trying to do the same. It mostly works a treat (...) I'd happily watch [Lohan] in more after this —though preferably in something a bit meatier"	NEU
United States	Eamon Hennedy Ready Steady Cut	"Lohan is charming, the Christmas spirit is strong, just don’t expect anything else other than what the poster is promising. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"Unless you’re feverish with excitement at the prospect of Lindsay Lohan’s screen comeback — and if you are, I’m sorry for your life — 'Falling for Christmas' won’t give you much pleasure"	NEG
United States	Luke Y. Thompson AV Club	"Lindsay Lohan is the best part of this (...) It's silly, sitcom-y, and impossible to call 'good', but 'Falling For Christmas' is the kind of bad that feels almost appealing"	NEU
United States	Samantha Bergeson IndieWire	"How wonderful it is that Lohan is back in Hollywood, just in time for the holidays"	POS
United States	Emma Kiely Collider	"Is 'Falling for Christmas' in itself a good film? No (...) But, is it an hour and a half of Christmas fun that can be enjoyed on a cold evening with friends? Absolutely"	NEU
United States	Calum Marsh The New York Times	"If this is the standard we're dealing with, I'd rather have amnesia"	NEG
United States	Maggie Fremont TV Guide	"I found myself smiling throughout the whole festive ordeal. 'Falling for Christmas' may have its faults, but if you're looking to spend an hour and a half being warmed by Christmas cheer, it has its charms, too"	NEU
United States	Courtney Howard Variety	"A pampered Daddy’s princess and a financially frazzled single father find themselves in a fix in this heartwarming holiday film."	POS
United States	Marya E. Gates rogerebert.com	"Fans of Lohan or/and breezy holiday films will surely find something to love here, but those whose tolerance for this kind of treacle is low at best should probably sit this one out (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Johnny Oleksinski New York Post	"In [Lohan's] encyclopedic attempts to restart her career, she's done it all —and it's all flopped. Now comes another avalanche called 'Falling For Christmas' (...) Learning how to make scrambled eggs is not a character arc (...) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	K. Austin Collins Rolling Stone	"A formulaic holiday comedy but marks the first step in the welcome return of Lindsay Lohan"	NEU
United States	Brett White Decider	"Finally, a full-length Christmas movie starring Lindsay Lohan. It's a miracle"	POS
Canada	Ferdosa Abdi Screen Rant	"'Tolerable' is the word that best describes this Christmas flick, and that is because Lohan is the lead (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"The star’s comeback is as bland and cloying as any other low-budget festive romance but serves as a strong reminder of her confident screen presence (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Nadira Goffe Slate	"[The film] is fine. But this actress is stuck in a loop (...) Make no mistake, Lindsay Lohan is good in [here]. But I want to see a romcom featuring a 36-year-old Lindsay (...) I'm growing up —can't Lohan come along?"	NEU
United Kingdom	Gabriella Geisinger Digital Spy	"Lohan approaches her character with sincerity —which has hints of Lohan's true self. If this is the start of the Lohanissance, we can't wait to see where it goes next (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Adam Graham Detroit News	"Lohan does dutiful work here and plays things perfectly straight, but doesn't steal the show or rise above the production in any significant way"	NEU
United States	Val M. The Review Geek	"Is this all we can expect from Lindsay Lohan? (...) If you are going into the movie expecting romance that will blow you off your feet, this is not the movie for you"	NEG
United States	Noel Murray Los Angeles Times	"Lohan brings a spontaneous sincerity to even the corniest scenes. The movie's wrapping is shiny and plastic, but its star quality is genuine"	NEU
