To be honest, I've always disliked Queen Latifah ever since I saw Bringing Down the House. I found her to be annoying and abrasive. She is the stereotypical "dumb loud black woman" that appears in every other movie. Yet I've never met a black woman that acts like this stereotype.
The movie itself was actually pretty decent, and I felt that most of the cast did a great job with the material which made it better. But Queen Latifah was her usual intolerable self. Sometimes, when she would rant, and others around her would clap, I'd think about how if she did this in reality and not in Last Holiday, someone would have told her to shut up.
This definitely isn't the best movie I've ever seen, or even close to it. But if you're looking for a dramedy, or a comeda... this wouldn't be a bad place to start.
