Christmas, Pleasant: 'Last Christmas' Gives You Its Heart
NPRChristmas, Pleasant: 'Last Christmas' Gives You Its Heart Enlarge this image toggle caption Universal Universal Last Christmas is moviemaking as a Top Chef challenge. Presents are in order, then, for Emma Thompson, whose screenplay for Last Christmas — aided by her husband Greg Wise and co-writer Bryony Kimmings — goes a long way toward making this holiday confection not only presentable but often downright pleasant. Last Christmas finds much of its comedy in multiculturalism, embracing the bubbling mess of lives in modern London like a cruder take on the Paddington universe. The regal Michelle Yeoh plays Kate's boss, and there's a clever joke where she explains she chose "Santa" as her Anglicized name so that her Christmas shop would play better to customers.
