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

I think the Last Holiday is a great movie. It's a cute romantic comedy and the message that it leaves, to live life to the fullest, inspires me every time that I watch it.

A movie about a miserly type woman who lived her life being cautious and always living life carefully who is accidently misdiagnosed with a fatal illness in which she only has a few weeks to live. This knowledge causes her to live her remaining weeks in a way she never lived before.
I REALLY liked this movie. Queen Latifah is such a classy woman and brings class to this one as well. It has a powerful message that really causes one to evaulate the way we live everyday life and finding out what truly is important in life. It's an evaluation we could all do well with giving ourselves on a regular basis. There is also alot of life wisdom in this story as well.
I highly recommend it, it's very engaging in plot.
