I told you earlier this week that this foreign born A- list mostly movie actress needed her film to open second to keep her career humming.

It opened fourth.

Emilia Clarke

Last Christmas

Why Last Christmas’ Reviews Are Surprisingly Negative

Emilia Clarke plus Paul Feig and George Michael should be rom-com gold, but critics have are not impressed by Last Christmas. It’s the most wonderful time of the year, or, at the very least, it’s time for seasonal entertainment to dominate the pop culture landscape. Love, Actually remains a major hit every Christmas with audiences, and there’s always a gap in the market for a good festive romantic-comedy. This time around, the story comes to us via British artist Bryony Kimmings and the legendary Emma Thompson. The latter also stars in and produces Last Christmas, with Paul Feig of Bridesmaids fame directing and the central romance played out by Emilia Clarke (her first big post-Game of Thrones role) and Henry Golding, who made a major splash last year in Crazy Rich Asians.

Clarke plays Kate, a perpetual screw-up recovering from a chronic illness while her life is on the verge of falling apart. She takes a job in a kitschy year-round Christmas store run by “Santa” (Michelle Yeoh) and meets the dashing Tom (Golding). He seems perfect for her and magically turns up when she needs him most, but then he disappears without a word.

That’s a great mixture of talent for a festive rom-com and it’s always a delight to see the genre making a comeback in theaters. However, Last Christmas hasn’t exactly delighted critics. Currently, the film has a 49% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with reviews noting the distinct lack of laughs, the overtly cheesy but not especially self-aware narrative, and a highly predictable twist that was more ludicrous than heart-warming. Here’s what a few critics had to say in their negative write-ups of Last Christmas.- Source
