Product Description DISCOVER WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A WOMAN FINDS OUT THAT HER DAYS ARE NUMBERED. SHE THROWS CAUTION TO THE WIND TO EMBARK ON A LIFETIME OF FUN IN JUST A FEW WEEKS.
Amazon.com Queen Latifah demonstrates her loose, easy charm in Last Holiday, a remake of the 1950 comedy with Alec Guinness. Though at first glance it's hard to imagine anyone less like Alec Guinness than Queen Latifah, they both communicate a world of inner thought with nothing more than a sly sideways glance. Georgia Byrd (Latifah), a department store employee, leads a life of frustrated desires--particularly for a bashful salesman from the outdoor furnishings department (LL Cool J, Deep Blue Sea). But when she learns she only has a few weeks left to live, Georgia gathers her money, quits her job, and flies to a swank European resort she's always dreamed of visiting. Naturally, her new carelessness with money and fearless candor lead everyone around her--including her senator (Giancarlo Esposito, Do The Right Thing) and her former boss (Timothy Hutton, Ordinary People)--to think she's a mover and shaker. Last Holiday unfolds the way you expect it to (dozens of movies and TV shows have similar plots), but Latifah and the capable cast keep it alive. Also featuring Alicia Witt (The Upside of Anger), Jane Adams (Happiness), and the ever-dependable Gerard Depardieu (Cyrano de Bergerac) as a passionate chef. --Bret Fetzer

What a pleasant surprise . . . . :) October 20, 2009 A. Parker (San Francisco, CA United States) For a long time, I refused to see this movie because I just couldn't imagine Queen Latifah paired with LL Cool J and I thought it might be super cheesy. Surprise, surprise though, it was actually really good! LL Cool J was VERY believable (I didn't expect his acting skills were that good) and Queen Latifah, of course, was wonderful. The story though is also really good. I liked that this was a movie about self-discovery and really enjoying life for what it is. Definitely recommended for anyone in the mood for a sweet, inspiring flick.

Last Holiday September 16, 2009 J. Krutke (Wisconsin) I love the movie. It's funny and just a really good movie. I'm very happy I got this movie. Also I got it for pretty cheap from Amazon. This movie will have you laughing, crying, and just leave you feeling good. :) I think everyone should watch this movie
Great for the entire family September 10, 2009 P. Jackson This movie has a great story line. It's a wonderful comedy for the entire family. A good clean movie. What a find these days!
A winner! September 6, 2009 Fredda L. Loafmann The Last Holiday is a great movie with not only an excellent message regarding how a person lives and the choices one makes,it also has humor that is "clean." There are several important life lessons in this movie and it has become one of my favorite movies along with "the Bucket List" and "UP."
