Review of Last Holiday (2006) by Laimis Z — 09 Jun 2008

''I didn't come here to make an impression on anybody, I just came here to blow every last cent I had.''.

After she's diagnosed with a terminal illness, a shy woman decides to take a European vacation.

Queen Latifah: Georgia Byrd.

LL Cool J: Sean Matthews.

Last Holiday is the remake of Joe Versus The Volcano, it's apparent as soon as the plot becomes known. Said person develops life threatening ailment leads life altering changes and decisions that are rash and fulfilling to fill in the time she has left to live. Then as the plot goes on and her new friends find out her problem it's fun and quirky despite its unoriginality. She finds there was a mistake and in fact shes not ill at all, finding love and happiness along the way, The End...

Queen Latifah does a good job in a comedy film that shes done numerous times before, that's down to earth and funny.

Gérard Depardieu, Giancarlo Esposito, plays her new friends.

Timothy Hutton is the cynical nemesis who acts the complete prick in this.

LH is a typical comedy feel good movie that doesn't attempt to hide what it is. One for rainy days or quiet evenings, that you could watch over and over and it still remains some good wholesome fun.

Comical Feel Good Flick!
