Emilia Clarke and Henry Golding are great together (Clarke is a very talented comedic actress and Golding is as charming as ever) and the premise at the core of their characters’ story is genuinely interesting. But the film that surroundsEmilia Clarke and Henry Golding are great together (Clarke is a very talented comedic actress and Golding is as charming as ever) and the premise at the core of their characters’ story is genuinely interesting. But the film that surrounds them does them a great disservice — it’s a messy, tonally uneven patchwork of corniness and poor writing that has no direction. The film never seems to land on what it wants to be, throwing ideas and random, badly connected storylines onto the canvas. If it had merely focused on Clarke and Golding, it just might have executed the main premise that much better. It’s too bad - with the right editing and writing, this could have worked. Expand

the queen Danerys Targarian is precious but the movie:"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."

This movie was not romantic in any way shape or form which is what going into it I thought it would be, I am extremely dissatisfied...

La Reina de Dragones como siempre preciosa y punto nieve. Pero esto no es suficiente para esta pelicula. Quizas es la pareja mas dispar que he visto en la historia del cine. Por que no llamaron a Kid Kerrington para ser su pareja? sin dudaLa Reina de Dragones como siempre preciosa y punto nieve. Pero esto no es suficiente para esta pelicula. Quizas es la pareja mas dispar que he visto en la historia del cine. Por que no llamaron a Kid Kerrington para ser su pareja? sin duda hubieran roto la taquilla y la barrera de los 500 millones de dolares! ahora solo les queda 500 millones de pesares! Expand

Amazing how many people still line up to see Christmas movies. This one is yet another of those so-called Christmas ‘holiday season ‘movies that are as much about Christmas as that Bonny Bouncing Bunny is to Easter. It’s somewhat of a ‘La LaAmazing how many people still line up to see Christmas movies. This one is yet another of those so-called Christmas ‘holiday season ‘movies that are as much about Christmas as that Bonny Bouncing Bunny is to Easter. It’s somewhat of a ‘La La Land’ wanna-be, without the easygoing feel and charm that one at least offered. Some of the dialogue and situations are crass and the sleep-around, female ‘Christmas Elf’’, didn’t help whatsoever. This thankless girl is actually cared for – but does she deserve it? The sudden turn to being a supernatural feel good/bad fantasy surprise --was a bit of a difficult twist to take-- especially amongst all the rather superficial PC philosophising being shovelled around like the fake ‘santa’ snow in the gutters of ole London. The cast tried but with the sour- treacle script reaching for heights it didn’t quite earn, it was mostly uphill.

Maybe fine for the easily pleased or woke ‘idealists’. A movie based on a song, with other songs in the background that didn’t quite fit the subject.

"If you don't like this kind of film, you're cynical." Maybe, but I consider it delusional to take Wham!'s "Last Christmas" (1984) as a basis for a screenplay, and I have found nothing at all in the story written by Thompson

"If you don't like this kind of film, you're cynical." Maybe, but I consider it delusional to take Wham!'s "Last Christmas" (1984) as a basis for a screenplay, and I have found nothing at all in the story written by Thompson with her husband that makes it plausible. If anything, each twist is a relaunch towards more presumptuous and unjustified ambitions. A graceless though successful film.

Mindless and pointless banter guides this movie to its obvious "startling" conclusion. It's another socially relevant lecture at Christmas. The only way it got produced and made it to the big screen is due to the clout of the producer. TheMindless and pointless banter guides this movie to its obvious "startling" conclusion.
