Bad user reviews do not necessarily mean a flop for a film on Netflix! On the contrary if we are to believe the success of the film currently number 1 on the streaming platform.
Christmas films are often popular! Our Little Secret is no exception to the rule since it is currently number 1 in the top 10 most viewed films of the moment on Netflix in France, ahead of the horror film Demeter's Last Journey and French comedy Meet the Malawas. It follows two angry exes discovering that their current partners are brother and sister and will therefore have to live together during a Christmas which is obviously not going to go as planned. Despite its number 1 position, the film is not unanimous among critics. On the American review aggregator Rotten Tomatoesthe film only obtains 44% positive opinions… “Our Little Secret is a holiday movie that misses its mark”can we read among the journalists' comments. “Our Little Secret starts with a stupid, gratuitous plot and finds ways to lose even more meaning”denounces an Internet user.

No, but I had fun, and maybe that's all we need in a Christmas romantic comedy”writes an Internet user. “Netflix's Our Little Secret is a hilarious, fast-paced adventure, made even better by the quiet chemistry between Lindsay Lohan and Ian Harding”we can still read.
