Absolutely loved this movie. So charming and it had the magic. I have not seen a rom-com this charming in a long time.

This is not a typical Christmas movie. Unlike those Hallmark's generic ones, this one is actually heartfelt. But for goodness sake, if you want to include politics and other cultures, do some research before writing a script! I was annoyed through the whole thing. First of all, Yugoslavia did not exist in 1999, it was already fallen apart and divided into separate countries, so the beginning of the movie was absolutely ridiculous. I was also…

I was expecting yet another typical rom-com. But half way thru I was kind off expecting a certain twist. And I was wrong. There was a twist, but one I did not see coming. Emilia was very enjoyable to watch. She took command of this character the same way she did of Daenerys.

Predictable? Yes. Romantic? Not really. Comedy? Not hugely funny but some amusing bits. Heart-wrenching? A little towards the end. Would George Michael have approved? Likely not.

A weird story and a lead character who is cute but quite horrible to all around her. A redemption story set against the literal words of a…

Cash grabbing, shamelessly manipulative, and queasily sentimental. Such is Christmas, and so is Last Christmas. Still, the film as with the holiday, can still raise a smile, cause a lump in the throat, and offer something unexpected. It's not a great film and in no way is it a Christmas classic. But like the Christmas season, it's not completely awful and it can be tolerated.
