A shy cookware salesperson for a New Orleans retail outlet, she handles knives and skillets with the flair of a master chef. But when Georgia learns her days are numbered, she throws caution to the wind and embarks on a dream holiday vacation to a grand resort in Europe. There, thinking she has nothing to lose, Georgia undergoes a metamorphosis - and her transformation affects everyone around her. Georgia's newly uninhibited personality shakes up staff and guests alike, including a venerate chef as well as a retail magnate who becomes convinced she's a rival intent on sabotaging his business plans. From snowy slopes to spectacular spas, delectable dinners to midnight balls, Georgia is going to live a lifetime of fun in just a few weeks.

This is one of those movies you want a refund of. Unfortunately for me I saw this on TBS. Maybe I should call my cable company
Don't you just wish you could take a vacation like this. Frankly, if I found out I only had a short time to live I would blow all my money too. LOL love it!
it is a great movie!!! i traveled in karlovi vary after this movie!!! beautiful story and place!!!
This movie really makes you think about how you should enjoy your life and not waste time.
Critic Reviews
A mild, fangless, forgettable thing that entertains some and offends little, barring one obnoxious subcontinental stereotype and a cloying urge to make everybody chipper at the end.full review
The pace drags, the stunt double work is obvious and the slapstick, especially a ski-hill scene, is contrived and extended.full review
There are some funny gags interspersed among the undistinguished ones, but Wang's direction has little snap or wit, and the movie overall is too fixated on the laborious task of massaging our universal self-esteem.full review
The frothy Last Holiday serves its purpose: amusing escapism.full review
Last Holiday plays like a hug. When a movie can do that, a strange transformation takes place.full review
