I must admit, Last Holiday was an amazing movie. At first, I thought it wouldn't have many funny parts, but it would be very serious and heart-breaking. Well, I was WRONG. It was somewhat sad, but the movie itself was showing... Full review

Of course, but Latifah carries the film with a fairly effortless charm so even when it dips into 80s style comedy trappings, the film is always at the very least pleasant. What is aiming for a feel-good crowd pleaser, 'Last Holiday' gives Latifah a little breathing room for some sass, but mostly keeps her slightly inhibited to match her character, and there's uneven scenes of slapstick comedy balanced out with the kind of supporting characters, both supportive and antagonistic, that can only be found in fi ...

While this is not exactly a profound film, and the message ("live every day as if it's your last") is hardly new; it's testament to this movie's joyous energy that it doesn't matter in the least.

Also part of Kragens entourage is his secretary and (reluctant) mistress (Alicia Witt) who doesnt quite get the message that shes nothing more than an easy access roll in the sack to Kragen. Her three biggest passions are for cooking (she faithfully watches Emeril every night, cooking the same dishes he makes on his show but never eats them herself), a lavish European hotel famous for its chef and his culinary delights, and for her longtime co-worker Sean (LL Cool J). ...
