Last Holiday Reviews

This is a movie with lots of great cuisine, and precious little flava.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

For a movie about overcoming fear and living out loud, Last Holiday's too-tidy conclusion isn't a sign of hope so much as a lack of nerve.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4

One might gladly exercise the film's carpe-diem moral by concluding that life is too short for movies like Last Holiday.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4

A mild, fangless, forgettable thing that entertains some and offends little, barring one obnoxious subcontinental stereotype and a cloying urge to make everybody chipper at the end.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

The movie completely falls apart. It doesn't make any sense, any of it.

Full Review | Original Score: D+

This story of a gentle soul (Queen Latifah) who learns to live only after learning of her imminent death is as witless as it is formulaic.

| Original Score: 1.5/5

Holiday certainly is harmless entertainment, but considering the pedigree of the talent here, the final product is more than a little disappointing.

Full Review | Original Score: C

Without Queen Latifah, Last Holiday would have been a somewhat tedious vacation, despite its beautiful setting.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

Last Holiday is another anemic female empowerment fable that never really sustains its clunky momentum... feels misplaced in its aimless adventurous skin.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

Not the worst movie ever made -- no thanks to Latifah.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

not a horrible movie, but it often lacks the spark and magical inspiration it aspires to impart on the audience

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

... overlong (it's almost two hours) and unfocused, but thanks to Latifah, at least you're in amiable company.

Full Review | Original Score: C

This is a terrific story with lots of wonderful ideas swirling around inside it, and a few genuinely wonderful sequences. But the film suffers from a complete lack of attitude or style.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5

A chaste and tepid remake.

Full Review | Original Score: C

Last Holiday is a thoroughly mediocre dramedy.

| Original Score: 2/4

If you had three weeks left to live, I wouldn't recommend you spend your precious time watching this.

| Original Score: 2/4

The Queen is in fine form, but this particular throne is a bit rickety.

Full Review | Original Score: C

You can wait to see the Last Holiday during the 'off-season' rates.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5

While there is something undeniably enjoyable about watching someone likable enjoy themselves, it's not enough to make a good movie.

| Original Score: 2/4

Wayne Wang directs the film as if he gets an extra commission for each Latifah reaction shot.
