Review of Last Holiday

STORY: A department store employee finds out she is terminally ill so decides to live it up the rest of her days and take advantage of those things she has missed out on.

MESSAGE: Don't hold yourself back from finding and living the passion of your life.

WIN: Good performances. Funny. The protagonist managed to live in luxury, endulge in gourmet food and try an extreme sport but kept her high ethics level and faith in God. She also treated others with love and forgiveness no matter what they had done to her. Promoted the idea that spiritually one lives on past death.

LOSE: Promoted social drinking, but in all fairness did show chastisement for overindulging in liquor. The Senator and CEO were a bit one-dimensional (greed) but it served the purpose of the film.

EFFECT ON ME: Made me want to go out and eat some aesthetic exquisite cuisine. Made me look at the positive aspects of life and made me want to strive harder for my own goals. I walked out of the theatre laughing and so did others in the audience.
