Last Holiday

LAST HOLIDAY (2006) - Feb. 2, 2006
A sheer delight from start to finish, this movie stars Queen Latifah as a woman who finds out that she's dying, and decides to go out with a bang. Latifah gives an excellent performance, and creates a character that we really come to care about. The supporting performances, by people like Timothy Hutton and Gerard Depardieu, are just as good. At just under two hours the movie was really entertaining all the way through. It's not exactly going to win any Oscars, but it's fun and it accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do. ***1/2
