Last Christmas


Kate (Clarke) harumphs around London, a bundle of bad decisions accompanied by the jangle of bells on her shoes, another irritating consequence from her job as an elf in a year-round Christmas shop.   Tom (Golding) seems too good to be true when he walks into her life and starts to see through so many of Kate’s barriers.  As London transforms into the most wonderful time of the year, nothing should work for these two.  But sometimes, you gotta let the snow fall where it may, you gotta listen to your heart . . . and you gotta have faith. Last Christmas features the music of George Michael, including the bittersweet holiday classic of the film’s title. The film will also premiere brand new unreleased material by the legendary Grammy-winning artist, who sold more than 115 million albums and recorded 10 No. 1 singles over the course of his iconic career.

How do I review this movie without giving away the main twist?  This is a textbook heartstring pulling holiday movie including the big twist.  I have so much commentary and jokes that I want to make about this but again it will give the big twist away.  I'll just say that I never thought that a song would become so literal before.

This is a decent rom-com watch.  Not a must see.  Not awful.  But a cutesy watch.
