Last Holiday Brings Me Comfort Away From Home

Written by my friend Lino Brown
My favorite chick flick has to be Last Holiday.  I remember first watching this DVD when I was studying abroad in Costa Rica. I remember I was missing home and wanted to watch something that reminded me of the USA. This movie really hit the spot, even though over half the movie was located in another country. However, the movie was in English and had American actors in it. Two of the main characters include Queen Latifah and LL Cool J. When I was younger, I was in love with LL Cool J so I automatically knew I would love this film.
The story is about a woman who is told she only has a short period of time to live. Therefore, she spends her last days in a luxurious hotel abroad, living the life of luxury and adventure. LL Cool J's character chases her around the world to tell her that her results were false and she actually is going to live. He also wants to tell her how much he loves her and wants to be with her. It was super cheesy and romantic, but I loved every moment of it. Years later, I am able to watch the movie on the new provider I got after I asked myself the question how much does cable tv cost. I am reminded of a time when this movie brought me comfort and joy.
