Queen Latifah's "Last Holiday"

I really enjoyed the movie. Everybody should have a "possiblities book". It's a good thing to daydream, and everybody should do so every day. When I walk away from a movie and feel good, and had a few good laughs, then it's a good movie. I think people have been writing, reading, and living fairy tales, since the beginning of time. It must be a good thing. Movie was well cast, and very entertaining. Even if it was a little far fetched, I still liked it. It was a good daydream.

Mom submitted her review of "Match Point" via email: Note -- spoilers!


"I would like to say first off, the movie by Woody Allen was an ingenious piece of work. Being an old moviegoer, I noted that he took the concept from "A Place In The Sun" (1951) with Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Cliff, and the case of Scott Peterson, put it in another country with some opera music and made a great, entertaining movie. Acting was great, lots of drama. Moral of the story is all about luck. If the ring hadn't gone in the river, he would have gone down the river. We all loved it."
