Is it a 5/5? no.
Is it even good? no.
Has this movie made me laugh, smile and cry since I first saw it when I was eight years old? absolutely.
Has this movie affected who I am as a person and what values I hold dear, despite and probably because of the cheese? yes
Will I continue to watch and love this movie for the rest of my life? undoubtedly.This will definitely not be most people's reactions, but this movie for whatever reason has always had a place very near my heart. I can remember the different places I was where I watched it, whether it be with my mom in bed, on a roadtrip on those tvs…

Queen of a mid-00s "European look" clothing montage!
Queen of critiquing classism & capitalism!
Queen of charming the fuck out of an entire hotel!
Queen of being in a movie that's not even about getting the guy, but she still gets the guy anyway!
Queen of YOLO!
Queen Latifah ruuuuules and this is one of her best. Also love Jane Adams, Giancarlo Esposito & Alicia Witt in their supporting roles!
It's not the most Christmassy of Xmas movies, but it's super heartwarming and funny plus all the #spon for The Food Network & Travelocity makes for a fun relic of its time.Also, Last Holiday >>>>>>> The Holiday

i first saw (part of) last holiday at jury duty, which i believe is where most discerning cinephiles attend the cinema?? not sure but i think i read that somewhere. i only saw part of it because i got called and then actually selected and i had to do the whole thing, which sucked sh*t sorry i dont care about my civic duty it f*ckeng blows!!! my mom doesn't get called for jury doody anymore because when i was a little baby child like 20 years ago i had some kind of mild short term illness or something and now the state thinks she's a caretaker for a diseased childperson so i guess that's my excuse next time. sorry cant…

Queen Latifah's friendship with Gerard Depardieu in this movie is *chef's kiss* I want to see them do a buddy cop series please.

This story has been done and redone multiple times, but since I saw it when I was 10 years old, I have never liked a movie so much. It made me laugh, cry and made we want to be a chef. Queen Latifah is the heart of the movie and she's the reason I watch this movie every year! 💕

SHUT UP THIS WAS PERFECT
I must say I think Timothy Hutton’s character was completely unnecessary because the true villain was the disease. But I suppose it was a nice addition.

Food plays a large role in Last Holiday and, depending on your tolerance for sweetness, you'll either find this film a bloated mess or (like me) a wholesome and noroushing treat. Queen Latifah and LL Cool J are utterly charming, the pacing is spot on and, if you're not looking for a gourmet experience, this is light, simple, pleasant and easily digestible.

Viewed on recommendation from Pop Culture Happy Hour. Tried to lean into its jubilee, couldn't quite get there; it's bad.

Queen Latifah is not a lesbian and is in love with LL Cool J. Why do these incredible musicians have to tarnish their reputation like this :(. I didn't even finish it it was so bad. Have seen Hallmark movies better than this.
