Last Christmas | Paul Feig | Emilia Clarke, Henry Golding | Universal | 11/8/2019

[JB33]

I see commericals on TV for this movie regularly. More than any other movie at the moment. Marketing seems okay on this end. Everyone I know seems to feel this is one of the must-see holday movies of the year.

This doesn't surprise me. I believe this film is a perfect example of one that will just hit the spot for a lot of people at this time of year.

Maybe she will save the village/town this time.

The reviews aren’t even bothering to pretend everybody hasn’t figured out the twist at this point.

[Nova]

The reviews so far explain that 3AM est embargo drop a day before previews. Hopefully audiences like it more than critics have so far. 

[Valonqar]

What are reviews saying about Emilia's performance? I'm afraid to peek.

The performances carry the film from what I’m reading. So the actors are fine. It’s more so the story that’s getting negative attention.

Thank you! What I expected. Actors good, story bad.

[Alli]

Kinda surprised. I expected great reviews. Let's hope the audience enjoys it.

[Frozen]

46% on RT. Can Emilia Clarke not catch a goddamn break ever?

[Curtis1986]

Not shocked at these reviews. The movie looked bland and been there done that.  a lifetime or Hallmark Christmas special.

Gotta say I thought this would get a better reception than it seems to be getting. Disappointing, to say the least.

I mean...

 

Spoiler

Even the most undiscriminating moviegoer could've called the twist being "Henry Golding isn't real" about halfway through the trailer alone.

 

[Nova]

Yea the trailer gave away the main story point. It was pretty obvious.
 

I have to say that the original trailer made it seem like it would be decent coupled with the people involved I thought it would get a better reception. But the movie isn’t getting trashed by critics so I think there’s still a possibility that it can be a crowd pleaser. 

[Firepower]

Even though I don't care about this movie, it feels like it will do really well with audiences, unless they put something that could turn people off.

"She works in a year-round Christmas store, wearing an elf costume and hawking tacky ornaments for the boss (Michelle Yeoh) she knows only as "Santa.""

 

If such a store exists in London, I've yet to see it. 

[The Horror of Lucas Films]

I'm kinda shocked by these reviews. Paul Feig usually always deliver the goods, his last and only rotten movie was released in 2006 for God's sake.

[BoxOfficeFangrl]

It's a sappy Christmas movie crossed with a 90s-style rom-com, fresh on RT would have been nice but neither style is really in line with critical tastes these days.

And that was before the notion of a Paul Feig movie came into existence. That movie was just a run-of-the-mill Christmas movie that he was hired to direct.
