Editorial Review:
Enjoy Yourself … It's Later Than You Think! It's advice to follow for shy New Orleans cookware salesclerk Georgia Byrd (Oscar® nominee* Queen Latifah) when her doctor informs her that she has less than a month to live. With news like that, it's time to give your life a serious makeover! So Georgia jets off on a dream vacation to live life like there's no tomorrow. Enjoy hearty laughs and rollicking comedic misadventures when Georgia shakes up a glamorous European resort spa while enthusiastically embracing a new look … new moves … and a new attitude! LL Cool J is the handsome suitor back home who's not about to let Georgia slip away. And Timothy Hutton, Gerard Depardieu, Alicia Witt and Giancarlo Esposito also star in this comedy hit that makes the good times last forever.
Description of Last Holiday (Widescreen Edition):
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
Last Holiday (Widescreen Edition) Reviews:
What a pleasant surprise . . . . :) 
2009-10-20 - 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.

2009-09-10 - 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!
2009-09-06 - 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."
