Last Christmas - 2019 - 5/10

Overwrought, puerile Christmas fable that is inferior Hallmark clone.
Angry, self-loathing Kate barely holds her job, abuses her friends after they let her couch crash, dodges medical appointments.
Oh yeah, despite some sort of health thing, her character is still shallower than a cartoon.
Into her life rolls Rob, on his bicycle. A perfect specimen. Upbeat, positive.
Will they get together? Will across-the-board negativism, cynicism, toxicity sparkle by the credits?
Story is as transparent as a plastic sack. Even 1930’s audiences would have rolled their eyes.
The screenwriter, who has penned better, wrote a story for low expectations.
Rest easy, George Michael, your legacy is secure.
