Poster for Last Holiday

Georgia Byrd (Queen Latifah) is a wanna-be chef who sells cookware in New Orleans, when she's informed by those in the know that she's got four months to live. She thinks 'stuff this' and embarks on a dream holiday vacation to a grand resort in Europe. There, with nothing to lose, she underes a metamorphosis. Her shy persona bubbles up into a new, un-inhibited, self - determined to make her final days a fun-a-rama. This is a remake of the 1950s English comedy starring Alec Guiness.

Hollywood Reporter

Queen Latifah finally gets a vehicle that gives her formidable talents and expansive spirit plenty of blooming room.

USA Today

The frothy Last Holiday serves its purpose: amusing escapism.

Slant Magazine

Life is too short for movies like Last Holiday.

New York Daily News

The Queen never lets us down.

New York Post

Last Holiday is a thoroughly mediocre dramedy.

Village Voice

The most surprisingly satisfying Hollywood comedy in ages.

BBC

At best it's a bumpy ride through predictable territory.

Empire Magazine

Money can buy you happiness in this inferior remake.

Film Threat

Watching Latifah work her style and spirit... is pure enjoyment.

Time Out

The sort of thing you might enjoy on afternoon TV when laid up with the flu.

A.V. Club

Here at least, Latifah has only two modes: heavily constipated and sass-tastic.

Roger Ebert

( out of 4) "Last Holiday" is a movie that takes advantage of the great good nature and warmth of Queen Latifah, and uses it to transform a creaky old formula into a comedy that is just plain lovable. To describe the plot is to miss the point, because this plot could have been made into countless movies not as funny and charming as this one.

New Zealand Herald

Queen Latifah lifts her game after the disastrous Taxi and average Beauty Shop, stealing the show with a warm and surprisingly engaging performance in this run of the mill tragi-romantic comedy....
