      It takes a lot of doing to make me hate every moment that Emma Thompson is on-screen but LAST CHRISTMAS managed it. Her role as an Eastern-European is... a choice.

    If you have seen the trailer and listened to the song 'Last Christmas', then you know how this movie goes. And yet it manages to string it out with a succession of subplots—about Brexit and sauerkraut and middle-class charity—that go nowhere.

      The biggest laugh for me in the film was when Emma Thompson's character said something inappropriate and Emilia Clarke's character STRAIGHT UP LOOKED DOWN THE BARREL OF THE CAMERA like Jim from The Office.

        I really wish given the specificity of the film's timeframe and the emphasis on his music that George Michael and Wham! had played more of a part in the narrative besides Emilia Clarke's character mentioning that she loves George Michael at the start and then never again.

          Anyway, I hope if they do a sequel that it's called CLUB TROPICANA and it's about a club where drinks are free.
