Addictions shouldn't be looked at punitively, but should be seen as a symptom that needs to be treated. It can be argued that the public's desire to see famous people fall is a large part of the problem that fuels the toxic climate that brings on the implosion of stars, and especially child stars. Yes, she turned to substances, but none of us helped the situation by buying the tabloids and clicking on the articles that cashed in on her difficulties.

Child stars rarely go on to have adult performing careers. There are a lucky, talented few who manage, like Lindsay Lohan, Leonardo DiCaprio, & Drew Barrymore, and many others who aren't as lucky. Dana Plato, Heather O'Rourke, Todd Bridges, River Phoenix, Macauley Culkin, to name a few. The problem isn't the stars, it's the audience. The audience doesn't like seeing their childhood darlings grow up. It means they have to grow up, too, and they don't like being reminded.

[@Treychik]

@@richarda29 erm...have you watched any interviews with those child stars and documentaries on their lives? Some of them literally go though hell: Corey Feldman - abuse, tons of 'alleged' rape cases and stuff goes down spiral...almost similar with Macauley Culkin - problems with parents (that wanted only their kid's money), abuse and 'alleged' rape by some of the producers or whatever. The Terminator 2 kid...same thing - parent problems, drugs etc-etc-etc...these people deserve better. I'm glad that some of them actually are coming back and doing much better. They all should be cheered up...they've been through hell. so audience has nothing to do with the actor's problems (the Star wars prequels kid is an exclusion! - people were assholes towards this poor guy...I hated the way they had dialogues, but never blamed the kid...not his fault, he tried his best)

Her role in _Among the Shadows_ (2019) was shot in Nov 2015 in Belgium and she also did a short film _Till Human Voices Wake Us_ in early 2015. _Falling for Christmas_ was shot between Nov/Dec 2021 in Utah. So it marks almost 4 years since she last acted, exactly 6 years since she last acted in a movie, and its release marks over 13 years since the release of her last romcom _Labor Pains_ in 2009. She just filmed her next Netflix movie _Irish Wish_ between Sep/Oct 2022 in Ireland and it's far more elaborate.

@sansyeux I disagree- sure they are mostly predictable but the good ones still find ways to keep it fun and engaging- they are full of character development and the conflict exists because of the characters not as a plot device. The leads also have chemistry and you are rooting for them. A great example is one of my favourites What’s your number. We get this people pleasing girl who spends her entire life trying to be perfect for everyone around her- she is never herself in relationships and as a result they never work out. Her “perfect” sister is getting married and her mum is overbearing and Critical (makes sense why she is like she is). Then she reads an article in her favourite magazine that is a Study that says most women who sleep with over 20 people can’t find a husband. She then makes a list and finds out she’s slept with 19. Then decides to track down her ex’s- again it’s how she works her belief is that she needs to fit into this societal ideal of women right and find a husband and her worst fear is never having that. She then makes a deal with her neighbour (aka the love interest) who helps her track down her ex’s and meanwhile they form a relationship. This works because the conflict is rooted in The MC’s desire to not be alone and the love interests fear of commitment. But he also is jealous and acts out because he is afraid she will find better than him. It’s not a random conflict and it also isn’t miscommunication is done out of fear and the mc not really knowing who she is. The character development comes because of this argument and her “perfect boyfriend” who she finds with her first love, who her mum approves of, but realises she hasn’t been herself and around the love interest can be herself. Anyways at the end her and the neighbour reunite as she says that she is sorry and that he was right and she can be herself around him. Then he says he’s sorry he’s scared and screwed up. And also realises she does not care about her number and external standards set for her. The fact they are going to Get together is predictable but that’s why I love rom coms- it’s not about how it ends but about the journey it takes them to get there. You are invested because the story is rooted in the characters. The actors have chemistry and it is well written and acted. Where as this film is predictable but it’s not enjoyable because the film itself is very surface level, some scenes go on way longer than they should, the jokes feel like they fall flat, it’s all external conflict- it’s not as if with her memory she is able to start again, there was no desire to prove Herself or desire to escape her life- it wasn’t like a she has everything but love and genuine people- and then she finds it. The characters were tolerable but some were super unlikeable and overall I just wasn’t invested.

@@mellyq92 to be fair she lost her memory. Still, why does he have to be the stereotypical annoying British dude? To me, British accents are attractive. Ngl, I want to see a movie where there’s a rich British dude whose parents cut him off, meets a British middle-class woman, and she teaches him how to do simple tasks, like cooking or chopping wood, for comedy. They fall in love in the process.

Same. It was kinda just chill no need to think. And it was cute at the end. Maybe because I'm ND and things like doing chores represent and independence some of us never obtain. But it did feel like the message was she actually did want to work. And she had social skills all along getting people to the lodge and throwing a party. I mean who knows if he knew how to anyways.

She's a mediocre actress. Would I rather see her over someone like abuser Emma Roberts? Heck yes. But let's not pretend she's a great thespian.

[@marketawilezinska8817]

I liked it. It's a typical Christmas romcom that mashes up other romcoms, but it was fun. It's great to see Lindsey up to do comedy and silly stuff, not being afraid of it looking silly. It's great to see her getting back into the film industry, hopefully on her own accord. It's strange to see HER in something again, but I'll take it anytime. I once saw an interview where she said she won't do any castings and that she has to be offered the roles. I felt huge amount of fear of rejection and insecurity when she said that and I think that's fair given what she went through. Can't wait to see how it all turns out and where she'll be careers-wise in three years or so. Also the other actors were great too. I enjoy the Todd and forest-man storyline. It felt fresh. And the guy from Glee was a great romcom romantic interest. It wasn't a bad movie and it did exactly what it set up to. And I think that's important thing to remember. They didn't aim for Oscar grungy masterpiece, they wanted to make wholesome and funny Christmas romcom. And they did it.
