Last Christmas-Kids’ Movie Review
Poor Kate (Game of Thrones’ Emilia Clarke), life has not been that easy for this twenty six year old aspiring singer who survived a life-threatening illness. She continuously auditions for singing parts and never seems to get them, and she has a job as an elf in a year-round Christmas shop. However, Kate’s life dramatically changes when she meets Tom (Henry Golding), a volunteer at a homeless shelter. Through a lot of ups and downs Kate eventually realizes that true happiness comes from helping others. Last Christmas is a romantic comedy, and a feel good holiday film for the whole family.
