Critics Consensus

Although Queen Latifah's bountiful life-affirming spirit permeates the film, director Wayne Wang is unable to revive this remake with any real flair.

Keith Phipps

AV Club

For a film ostensibly about how life means nothing without adventure and unpredictability, Last Holiday all feels as preordained as the film-ending Emeril cameo.

Rated: C-

It's not exactly distinguished, but pleasantly warm-hearted, and the sort of thing you might enjoy on afternoon TV when laid up with the flu.

Money can buy you happiness in this inferior remake - although its makeover storyline may please fans of The Princess Diaries et al.

Rated: 2/5

LL Cool J's performance is so out of control that it's the only entertaining thing about this film.

Here I am, today, sitting here remembering Georgia, smiling, hearing Georgia's words and, most of all, feeling good about life.

Esse filme é maravilhoso. A protagonista já é extremamente carismática, e somado ao carisma natural da atriz tornam ela uma personagem maravilhosa. É um filme muito lindo para quem é religioso, tem início e tem fim, com uma boa lição e extremamente inspirador

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Why does a movie have to be critically acclaimed. It was funny and warm and great cast. I say it is worthwhile to watch it. Ebert liked it. Trust his judgement. It was light hearted. We need light hearted movies

This feels like one of those movies that's hard to hate. It was funny, had a great message, and was very touching. The acting might've needed a bit of improving
