Netflix subscribers can’t get over ‘insane’ opening montage of No. 1 movie starring Lindsay Lohan

On By Littum

Netflix subscribers are in hysterics over the “insane” introduction to the streaming giant’s new holiday movie Our little secret.

The festive film stars Lindsay Lohan as Avery, a woman who spends Christmas with her boyfriend’s family for the first time. However, she soon discovers that his sister is dating Logan, her ex-boyfriend played by Ian Harding, who she broke up with 10 years earlier.

Since its release on November 27, Our little secret has risen to number 1 in the streaming giant, surpassing the shark thriller Something in the water and the animated children’s film Enchantedstarring Nicole Kidman and Rachel Ziegler.

In the film’s opening scenes, which take place in 2014, viewers see Avery and Logan break up – after which there is a time jump to 2024 marked by a one-minute montage.

The scene jumps through the past decade and highlights monumental moments over the years.

However, many viewers have noted on Twitter how “random” and “crazy” the choice of milestones is.

Included in the montage — which is set to Calvin Harris’ 2014 hit song “Summer” — are events as diverse as the 2016 release of Stranger Things for the 2018 rescue of a Thai soccer team from a cave system in Chiang Rai province.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Royal Wedding, Moonlight winning an Oscar for Best Picture and the legalization of same-sex marriage were also on the list – along with the Notre-Dame fire, the unveiling of Elon Musk’s Cybertruck and the meme of Bernie Sanders wearing mittens that circulated around Joe Biden’s inauguration in 2021.

People on Twitter have praised the “fun” montage on Twitter/X, although many have commented on the “crazy” selection of events.

“Seeing Our little secret on Netflix. That 2014-present intro montage is one of the greatest openings I’ve ever seen,” one person wrote. “Go through history since 2014 – I like it.”

Another person wrote: “I’m totally losing my mind at Netflix Our little secret intro montage set to Calvin Harris going through the decade with ‘newsworthy’ things like legalizing gay marriage, but then including ‘Netflix’ hit show Stranger Things is the most streamed.'”

“The 10 years have gone montage at the beginning of Our little secret is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen,” said another.

“Seeing Our little secret on Netflix… that intro was (glitter emoji),” a third person commented.

Another added: “The 10-year montage in Netflix’s Our little secret starring Lindsay Lohan has some very crazy choice highlights.”

“Seeing Our little secret and that opening was so good. I’m sitting,” said another.

Other milestone moments in the montage include the coronation of King Charles III; streaming the success of Bridgerton and Play octopus; the cinematic clash of Barbie and Oppenheimer; the blockade of the Suez Canal by megaship Ever Given; and, bizarrely, the state of California is suspending permits for Cruise to operate driverless vehicles.

Taylor Swift also gets a mention, with the final landmark event reading: “Taylor Swift in Her History-Making Era.”

Our little secret can be seen on Netflix.
