Latifah is rapidly becoming an actress who can be trusted to carry a film, even a ...

I haven't seen the British 1950 movie which served as basis for the screenplay by Jeffrey ...

The movie never says how much money she has but she flies first class, charters a helicopter, goes on an expensive shopping spree and stays two weeks in the $4,000 a night Presidential Suite. At one point she gambles and wins $100,000. Again she never thinks to put the money toward her surgery.

The original "Last Holiday" was such a sweet, sometimes melancholy, film, with a wonderful star and supporting cast, that it makes me wonder why anyone would even try to remake it.
