Last Holiday

Pros: Queen Latifah makes the whole thing work
Cons: Not terribly original

I’m not much of a fan of the romantic comedy. I’m not even much of a fan of movies that have but a mere whiff of romantic comedy about them, regardless of genre label. Even so, I’ll be darned if I can keep myself from watching them when I can do so for ...

Pros: Fun, entertaining movie with a good cast.
Cons: Predictable at times. Some things were unbelievable.

In the last few years I have seen and enjoyed several movies that Queen Latifah has been in. I thought that Last Holiday, her newest movie, looked like it would be entertaining the first time I saw a preview. I was able to see it over ...

Pros: Cast, very funny, very feel-good movie
Cons: Poor soundtrack, picks up characters and subplots then doesn't do anything with them

Last Holiday, a comedy starring Queen Latifah, owes its premise to the 1950 film of the same name starring Alec Guiness. (I saw it ages ago and remember it being a good film, but can’t really remember much about it – hopefully ...

Pros: Latifah, some funny moments
Cons: cheesy plot, some unbelieveable moments

I had wanted to see this movie for awhile because it seemed like one of those funny/inspirational movies. Last week, one of my friends came over to hang out and we decided to hit the movie rental store. She picked it up so I said ok. I’m not much of ...

Pros: poignant, hilarious, fun, with some very fine performances
Cons: not any deeper than it has to be

What would you do if you knew you were going to die? What decisions would you make knowing that some things are out of control? That's the question of Last Holiday, a light comedy about dark things, starring Queen Latifah, LL Cool J and Timothy ...

Pros: Upbeat and Uplifting Romantic Comedy
Cons: Like many romantic comedies of this nature - Predictable!

Background: Last Holiday (2006) is a remake of the 1950's movie with the same title about a salesman named George Bird who upon finding out he has only a couple weeks to live, takes his life savings and goes on a trip to a posh resort where he is ...

Pros: Feel-good movie, some genuinely funny moments, characters have some depth
Cons: Okay, its predictable

The somewhat oddly named Last Holiday is not really a about the holidays. Don’t go in expecting a Christmas movie. Some attention is given to New Year’s Eve, but this film is really appropriate year round. Last Holiday follows the ...

Pros: Excellent performance by Queen Latifah, fantastic scenery, great message.
Cons: None worthy of mentioning.

"Last Holiday" is a remake of an old movie from the Fifties. It may be a do-over of a film classic, but it asks a timeless question: what would you do if you knew your days were numbered? In this version of the movie, Queen Latifah plays Gerorgia ...

Pros: Warm, fuzzy, feel-good movie
Cons: Predictable, but who cares

Sometimes you really need to see a nice movie. Not one to challenge you; not one to inspire you; not one to inform you; just something easy to watch that will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy. Last Holiday is just such a movie. Georgia Byrd (Queen ...

Pros: A feel good movie that is a joy to watch.
Cons: No cons.

How many of us would arrange our daily lives the way we do if we knew that we had only 3 weeks to live? I daresay that most of us would make some really radical changes. What if it happened to you? It happened to Queen Latifah…I mean, to Georgia Byrd, of ...

Pros: Good family movie with a good message.
Cons: A little hoakey in places, but still good.

I just came home from this movie. I enjoyed it! It was a fun movie that I watched with my 9 year old daughter. There was no sex (a few innuendos) the language was tolerable and the message was clear...enjoy life while you have the chance. I loved the Queen...she is funny and fun. Overall, I really didn't expect to like the movie as much as I did. Both thumbs up and a smile when leaving the theater.

Pros: Casting had excellent choices that made it possible for you to care for the characters.
Cons: Trailers don't do this movie justice.

What to think about this movie? A employee of a department store finds out she is going to die. What would you do? This is a story about a lady who didn't want to have any regrets. Very enjoyable movie, not dull, good pace, doesn't give away the ending too soon.

Pros: Hilarious, entertaining and great for the family
Cons: Tended to be a bit far fetched at times

I have enjoyed Queen Latifah's past movies (especially "Chicago"). I was at first uncertain about seeing the movie because it seemed so predictable, but once I did, it was hilarious! I highly enjoyed it! The movie was filled with constant one-liners but also at the same time a dark thought loomed throughout the whole movie: "How would you live your life if you only had a certain number of days to live?"

Pros: Good story line, plenty of laughs, thought provoking.
Cons: LL Cool J, not my first choice!

Very enjoyable movie with a pleasing assortment of cast members. This movie makes you think about life; the choices we make and the chances we do and don't take. It had a few sad moments, but overall the movie was upbeat and funny. Good ending!

Pros: The "Queen" of course and really good supporting actors.
Cons: Its going to be a while before its on video.

I really enjoyed this movie. It was funny and entertaining all the way through. I do however feel that It may not have been as good if it weren't for Queen Latifah. I couldn't picture anyone else playing her part, and believe me I tried. L.L.Cool J took a back seat in this one, but he was still really nice to look at. Even though I sort of guessed the plot, It was still fun to watch.
