12 Movies Everyone KNEW Were Lying

12. Last Christmas

It feels bad tearing into a film that was just trying to be a festive rom-com, but there is something cringing about a movie twist that everyone saw coming from the very first trailer.

The film showcases the adorably likable Emilia Clarke as Kate, a cynical Londoner who meets a charming and handsome man named Tom (played by Henry Golding), and cue the will-they-won't-they of a loving Christmas flick.

The thing is, the movie trailer telegraphs that Kate had an operation the previous year (the film reveals it to be a heart transplant), and with the lyrics to "Last Christmas" by Wham! playing throughout the preview, it doesn't take much detective work to figure out what the twist of the film is.

Maybe that's the point? And before going in we're supposed to understand that this is less of a love story and more about the ultimate gesture of giving and sacrifice? (Spoiler alert, Tom died and Kate received his heart). But a twist such as this being displayed so obviously before the film's release is a telegraphed misdirection.

You have to imagine that this wasn't Paul Feig and Emma Thompson's plan? And they were hoping audiences weren't smart enough to figure it out.
