As escapist comfort-food cinema goes, this is a stick-to-your-ribs, tryptophan-coma-size helping. - 65
TheWrap
Think of Last Christmas as director Paul Feig’s Christmas album; it won’t be the first comedy anyone thinks about in his accomplished filmography, but viewers might find themselves reaching for it come December all the same. - 60
Empire
While it won’t be remembered as one of the great Christmas films, Last Christmas delivers enough moments of heart and humour to keep the festive spirit alive. - 60
CNN
Last Christmas isn't the assembly-line product it could have been, but nor is it as special as it seemingly intended to be. - 58
IndieWire
Little about Last Christmas is that surprising, but as Hollywood continues to grapple with the idea that the rom-com still has legs and audiences are hungry for comfort food entertainment, it’s a welcome addition to a rebounding genre. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
It's a misfire by just about any measure, but it earns some warm feelings for its determination not to be like anything else currently in circulation. - 42
The Playlist
For all its flaws, Last Christmas isn’t a bad time, despite being a bad movie. Credit Clarke and Golding — or that rum-heavy egg nog you should drink before the opening credits. - 40
The Guardian
It might look the part, with the director Paul Feig successfully capturing the glossy, tourist-friendly London one would crave from such a film, but the script feels like a rejected first draft with unfunny filler one-liners and a scrappy, ill-thought through narrative. It’s a beautifully wrapped Christmas gift that’s filled with rotten turkey leftovers.
