Last Christmas

When a 26-year-old, free-spirit, unlucky, cynical, wannabe singer (Emilia Clarke) moves from Yugoslavia to England with her dour, PTSD-afflicted, ex-singer mother (Emma Thompson), her former lawyer, taxi-driving father (Boris Izakovic), and her gay, over-achieving lawyer sister (Lydia Leonard) and works as an elf clerk at a year-around Christmas shop for its eccentric Asian owner (Michelle Yeoh) between auditions in Paul Feig's disappointing, lackluster, evenly paced, quirky, love-or-leave-it, star-dotted (Patti LuPone, Rebecca Root, Rob Delaney, Peter Serafinowicz, and Ingrid Oliver), 103-minute romantic comedy reminiscent of a television Hallmark movie interspersed with George Michael music, she falls for a mysterious, charming handsome deliveryman (Henry Golding) in London who gives her a new outlook and perhaps affects the course of her entire life.
