The Last Holiday Official Trailer
Last Holiday is a 2006 American comedy film directed by Wayne Wang and starring Queen Latifah. The screenplay by Jeffrey Price and Peter S. Seaman is an updated, gender-reversed adaptation of the 1950 film of the same name written by JB Priestley. Latifah stars as Georgia Byrd, a reserved plus-sized woman who lives a dreary, ordinary life in pre-Katrina New Orleans, where she dreams of an elegant existence filled with fancy food, stylish clothing, and high-society parties. But she spends most of her evenings eating frozen dinners all alone, often thinking about a shy coworker (LL Cool J) she has a crush on. When she is suddenly diagnosed with a terminal illness and given three weeks to live, she collects her savings and decides to go crazy, doing all those things she would never allow herself to do before. She heads for one of the world's ritziest hotels, the Grand Hotel Pupp in Karlovy Vary in the Czech Republic, where she takes advantage of every luxury she can, from spa treatments to downhill ski runs to helicopter trips to designer shopping excursions. While her lavish appetite is admired by a gourmet chef (Gerard Depardieu, showing agile comic skill), she is deemed a potential threat by a corporate bigwig (a slick Timothy Hutton). She's also none too happy to find her too-smooth senator (Giancarlo Esposito) enjoying a lush vacation instead of serving his community. Latifah simply lights up the screen in a somewhat different version of the role played by Alec Guinness <b>...</b>

Just Wright, "Common and Queen Latifah in a grown up Love & Basketball...."
www.blacktree.tv Some things are just meant to be. When I first watched this trailer and read the notes on the movie, I couldn't help but thinking of one of my favorite genre films, Love & Basketball. Not that this film is a knock off in any way, but it just seems to have a sort of familiarity in a good way. If you do the 6 degrees of seperation, you have Michael Elliot, who wrote Brown Sugar, which starred Sanaa Lathan who also starred in Love & Basketball and then the film is directed by Sanaa Hamri......You get where I am going with this. Anyhow, great to see my boy Common in a grown up role, not that being a contract killer in Wanted, or part of the revolution on Terminator was not grown up enough, but this role gives him a lot more depth and a chance to really show his acting chops. Mix that with Sanaa Hemri directing, hopefully we have a new classic. Great cast, looks to be a great story, and great filmmakers, sounds like this movie will be Just Wright! JUST WRIGHT stars Queen Latifah (BRINGING DOWN THE HOUSE, VALENTINE'S DAY) as Leslie Wright, a straight-shooting physical therapist who gets the gig of a lifetime working with NBA All-Star Scott McKnight (Common DATE NIGHT). All is going well until Leslie finds herself falling for Scott, forcing her to choose between the gig of a lifetime and the tug-of-war inside her heart.
