The new romantic comedy Last Christmas explores humankind’s greatest question: what if we took George Michael’s song “Last Christmas”… LITERALLY???!??
When we meet our star, Kate (short for Katerina—she’s a Yugoslavian refugee, of course), played by Emilia Clarke, it’s almost Christmas. She had a heart transplant during the previous holiday season—or “last Christmas,” if you will. But she’s a mess! We know this because she’s always like: “I’m a mess! LOL.”
Kate wants to be a singer, but she doesn’t even know how to ice skate. She works as an elf at a Christmas store with a woman called Santa (Michelle Yeoh). Kate’s mother (Emma Thompson) is also a Yugoslavian refugee, but she can’t sleep because of Brexit! Kate meets Tom (Henry Golding) and he’s super annoying and she’s really mean to him. Nobody else can see him and he can’t be reached by phone and she loves him (she gives him her heart, metaphorically.) But still, she wonders: Who gave her their heart, literally?
Then: a twist! I won’t spoil it for you, but I will say that it has echoes of M. Night Shyamalan’s The Sixth Sense, where we discovered at the end that one of the main characters was dead the whole time. Okay, good luck!
This movie is bad. It’s so bad. But what’s great is that if it’s even a modest hit, it could inspire a whole cinematic universe of movies loosely based on George Michael songs, and “Father Figure” would be weird as hell. Go see Last Christmas!
This is the worst review!!! Wtf does singing have to do with ice skating??? To be honest i don’t even think the people who gave you a job had any brains at all. Well actually that’s not possible I take that back. I’m sure they have brains just no eyes cuz they never would have let you post this child’s review of a movie!!!
O btw why even say I won’t spoil it for you when your main objective was to do just that??!?!? I wasn’t even interested in the movie so it don’t even bother me the least bit, but the reason I forced myself to write this comment is the fact that you might very well be the worst writer I have ever come across!!! But I guess if Trump could be president than why can’t you be a writer🤢🤢🤮🤮
