Last Christmas's reviews
Media reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
'Last Christmas', rising above the standard, lightweight romantic comedy holiday fare and serving up a more substantial and resonant story.
Vulture
Sometimes you just have to let yourself be a sucker for the obvious ? whether it?s for a holiday movie, a ridiculous romance, or an awkwardly grafted-on but very timely theme.
Los Angeles Times
It?s the performances and well-earned character arcs that make 'Last Christmas' a satisfying holiday flick worth giving your heart to.
The Washington Post
'Last Christmas' is a charming enough entry into the holiday rom-com canon. Clarke and Golding are likable together, if not electric. Director Paul Feig manages a tone that?s heavy on chuckles and light on belly laughs.
The Hollywood Reporter
It's a misfire by just about any measure, but it earns some warm feelings for its determination not to be like anything else currently in circulation.
The Guardian
It might look the part, with the director Paul Feig successfully capturing the glossy, tourist-friendly London one would crave from such a film, but the script feels like a rejected first draft with unfunny filler one-liners and a scrappy, ill-thought through narrative.
Variety
As much as we go into 'Last Christmas' eager to see a nicely wrapped package of acerbic fun, the film falls short of that. It?s not so much clever, toasty, and affectionate as it is the faux version of those things. It?s twee, it?s precious, it?s forced.
