To say there is no worse Christmas film than Last Christmas? SPOILER WARNING

I stuck this on for a bit of background while wrapping presents and oh my goodness, it’s SO BAD. Obviously I don’t want to ruin it for the rest of you but SPOILER ALERT it’s about a woman who becomes a better person because she falls in love with the ghost of her heart transplant donor.

Can anyone top or rather bottom it?!

Elf-Man is awful, bad acting, terrible script, the special effects are naff.

Definitely worse than Last Christmas.

Deck the Halls is tragic lol

WheelieBinPrincess · 15/12/2021 12:40

Ooh I watched this last night!

It’s really boring.

Chances are she’d only live another five or ten years or so after that so it wasn’t really a happy ending.

A Castle For Christmas is pretty bad!

Pegasussnail · 15/12/2021 12:41

Oh my god I watched Last Christmas at the weekendGrin
It was a bit silly and loved Me Before You so I was a bit Hmm as I thought I would love it.

Username916 · 15/12/2021 12:41

We put office christmas party on last night and I had to turn it off midway. Terrible.

I'm currently watching Santa Girl, a film about Santa's daughter going to college and having 2 unlikeable men (one is the son of Jack Frost who she's been engaged to since she was 3 months old) fight over her 🙃 it's gloriously shit

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 15/12/2021 12:43

I quite enjoyed it, in a not really engaging brain sort of way.

My Dd had heart surgery just before her first Christmas (8 weeks old) and was in hospital over Christmas and that song always makes me think of that anyway. So I did rather guess the ending!

Funkyslippers · 15/12/2021 12:44

I didn't think Last Christmas was as bad as the reviews suggested. It wasn't great though.

I know this is controversial bit I cannot stand Love Actually apart from the 5 mins that Rowan Atkinson is I'm it

RJnomore1 · 15/12/2021 12:45

No it’s an awful horrible film . I was so disappointed in it!

I think I need to watch this, I love a so bad its good film.
TuftyMarmoset · 15/12/2021 12:47

I haven’t seen it but I watched the princess switch last night which was pretty dreadful!

Oh it really was, it was set not to far from me and was just downright offensive in places

Random thing to complain about, but it really bugged me the way they kept talking about “the former Yugoslavia”. Croatia has been an EU democracy for years, and thousands of British people visit every year. Why would they not name it?

OGenkiDesuKa · 15/12/2021 12:50

It was ok. Love hard was hilarious if you’re looking for a funny Christmas film.

Chocolatewheatos · 15/12/2021 12:50

YABU I bloody love it!

That was the bit that bothered me most too Grin

YANBU, we couldn't get beyond the first of Last Christmas, total crap.

For the best heart transplant romantic Christmas movie, look no further than Untamed Heart with Marisa Tomei and Christian Slater.

Lessstressedhemum · 15/12/2021 12:53

A Castle for Christmas was dreadful, absolutely offensive to Scottish people. And I don't think that there was a single Scot in it. Even my Christmas film addict DD hated that one.

Tothemoonandbackx · 15/12/2021 12:54

Father Christmas is Back (2021), it's got John Cleese, Kelsey Grammar, Caroline Quentin, you know, some not too bad actors, but MY GOD!!!! it's just beyond painful to watch, I tried, I really did, my sister said she watched 30 minutes and switched off, I beat her by 30 minutes and 1 second, and even then, it's because I wanted to see how bad it got X

PrancerandDancer · 15/12/2021 12:55

I watched Santa Girl the other day and can confirm it is wonderfully bad!

RainbowBabyForChristmasPlease · 15/12/2021 12:57

I really enjoyed it Blush

Omg yes this is the worst. And I normally love to hate those Netflix ones that are knowingly bad like Princess Switch, but this was almost unwatchable.

Worst ever! The way they went from hating each other to 'hey its all ok!' And the song scene in the pub! Wtf was that?! Why were all the villagers so impressed?!
LadyCatStark · 15/12/2021 13:03

Oh god it’s awful. It’s the equivalent of stories where they wake up and it was all a dream.
