Review of Last Holiday (2006) by *Cherie* — 29 May 2008
Great movie about a woman played by Queen Latifah. She works in a department store and keeps a book of "possibilities". One of those possibilities is to be wed to a co-worker played by LL Cool J.
She finds out that she has a brain tumor and has 3 weeks to live and decides to cash out everything and spend it in Europe, in a hotel that she has in her book of possibilities. While there, she meets her local congressman, the top man at the department store, and a chef that she has admired.
She is mistaken as a rich woman, and gains the respect of many as she snowboards, dives off cliffs, and gambles and wins at the casino. Her top boss uncovers that she is really "just" a sales clerk in the cookware department of one of his stores, and "exposes" her.
She explains that she is dying and just wanted to blow all her money, which makes the top boss guy look like an ass. He scales up to the ledge of the hotel to jump and she goes and tries to talk him down.
While this is going on, LL Cool J finds out what has happened and travels to Europe to proclaim his love for her (and makes it to her as she is talking her boss down from the ledge). In the end, she finds out that her diagnosis was made in error.
