Queen Latifah's new movie, Last Holiday, was certainly a lot better than I had been expecting. In a way, I'm quite surprised it earned a PG-13 rating, I would have given it a PG myself, since this had some of the least suggestive sexual references and mildest language of any comedy in recent memory.

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, which was funny, moving, and flowed well. There was really only one part of the film where the plot *really* had to make a stretch, and I think it shows up on screen pretty blatantly. But it's pretty early on and easily forgotten by what follows. It's one of the best films I've seen in a while not based on a classic book.
