Critic Reviews

L.A. Weekly - Scott Foundas

Queen Latifah gives a spectacular performance in this hugely enjoyable wish-fulfillment fantasy. Read full review

New York Daily News - Jami Bernard

It's too bad there's so little of LL Cool J as the secret object of Georgia's fantasies. He'd make a funny, nimble, sexy romantic lead with just a bit more screen time. Read full review

Village Voice - Matt Singer

The most surprisingly satisfying Hollywood comedy in ages. Read full review

Salon - Stephanie Zacharek

Watching Last Holiday, I kept waiting for the moment I could decree the movie truly terrible, the instant I could comfortably put my pen and notebook away and give it up for lost. But that moment never came, partly because I never fail to take pleasure in Latifah, and partly because I couldn't shake the eerie feeling that the movie I was watching was something of a ghost from another time.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer - Sean Axmaker

Director Wayne Wang stumbles through the awkward script without finding its shape or its tone, steering it toward maturity while the script falls back into slapstick sports gags and adolescent social politics. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - Liam Lacey

Queen Latifah's energy may be winning and her self-reliance message righteous, but Last Holiday grossly overextends her credit Read full review

The New York Times - Manohla Dargis

As witless as it is formulaic. Read full review

I Loved This Movie! it is funny and a complete feel good movie. Queen Latifah gives her best performance. If you are depressed or down and out I highly recommend it. It is the best comedy I've seen that is both funny and after leaving the theater makes you fell good. It's worth I Loved This Movie! it is funny and a complete feel good movie.

Queen Latifah may not be the best actress in Hollywood, but she could be the most fun to watch. She lights up this remake of the old Alec Guinness classic with charm and poise.

One of our most likable and ingratiating actresses, Queen Latifah gives a wonderful performance in this all too predictable comedy-drama. The supporting cast is fine, the cinematography gorgeous, the editing crisp, and there is no faulting the production design.
