6KNoch einmal Ferien: Directed by Wayne Wang. With Queen Latifah, LL Cool J, Timothy Hutton, Giancarlo Esposito. Upon learning of a terminal illness, a shy woman decides to sell all her possessions and live it up at a posh Central European hotel.
“Currently, we have our fair share of pointless actions films (absent of any plot and decent script) or films that are trying to take themselves too seriously or films that are too dark and downbeat or films which try to be funny but are not so it was a pleasure to go with my family recently to see Last Holiday.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eQueen Latifah comfortably heads a cast who delivered solid, believable performances across the board (and some new faces to me). OK, the story was a bit contrived and some sequences were a bit far fetched (the snow board ride for instance) but it was a great deal of fun.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story, which looked at peopleu0026#39;s aspirations and dreams and the need to take every day as it comes, to enjoy life to the full (as we donu0026#39;t know what is round the corner) was played out with great passion and skill. Latifahu0026#39;s comedy acting (loved the raised eyebrow and sideways glances) was relaxed and easily won over the sympathy of the audience. Great, also, to see Gerard Depardieu again as I havenu0026#39;t seen him for a while.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRefreshingly set in snowy Prague, good Direction and lovely Cinematography. I recommend that you see it.”
