History Film / LastHoliday

A 2006 {{Gender Flip}}ped (and {{Race Lift}}ed) remake of the 1950 Creator/JBPriestley film.

* DoTheyKnowItsChristmasTime: Subverted. For the title being ''Last Holiday'', the setting near Christmas, and Georgia praying frequently, there is surprisingly little reference to Christmas.

%%* BringMyBrownPants: After Kragen chickens out of base jumping with Georgia, the staff is seen having a laugh over the fact that the laundry attendant confirmed that he did this

* AnAesop: Live life to the full and don't wait until you've got a time limit.

* CruelTwistEnding: [[spoiler:Averted. Georgia was misdiagnosed and gets her happy ending. Unlike George in the original 1950 version, who also finds he was misdiagnosed and looking forward to a better life… but is then promptly killed in a car accident.]]

A 2006 {{Gender Flip}}ped (and {{Race Lift}}ed) remake of the 1950 film.

* MoneyToThrowAway: Georgia, while supposedly not having enough money to afford an operation, stays in a lavish hotel suite for $4,000 per night. Not to mention she pays for a first class flight, a helicopter ride, a full spa treatment, a new high-fashion wardrobe, and ''more''. It does get justified since her surgery bill was apparently more than she could afford without any coverage, and she figured she wouldn't need it anymore...and then she also won big in the casino, which undoubtedly replenished her funds, and then some.
* NiceToTheWaiter: Georgia wins a lot of the hotel staff over by being nice to them. Having been a retail worker she empathizes with them. Kragen, meanwhile, has a waiter fired for accidentally spilling a ''single'' drop of wine on his hand.

* ComicallySmallBribe: When Georgia's PointyHairedBoss at her retail job hears her decide to TakeThisJobAndShoveIt (because amongst other things, he never made her know that she was the best saleswoman on the store, to prevent her from asking for a raise or a promotion), he tries to buy her back by offering a raise... of ''$1.50 an hour''.

%%* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: Kragen.]]

* TheEndIsNigh: Georgia is told she only has a few weeks left to live.

* GoodIsNotDumb: Georgia might seem naive, but she is a very good saleswoman and gives some solid advice to other characters. Despite all of Kragen’s attempts to humiliate her, Georgia is usually one step ahead of him.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Miss Gunther is [[spoiler: revealed to be this. At first coming across as unfriendly and cold, but once she learns Georgia is dying she makes an effort to be kind to her. Her earlier behaviour is implied to be the result of years spent waiting on selfish and entitled guests leaving her with a mild case of misanthropy.]]

* TheBeautifulElite: The hotel guests.
* BringMyBrownPants: After Kragen chickens out of base jumping with Georgia the staff is seen having a laugh over the fact that the laundry attendant confirmed that he did this
* TheCameo: Emeril Lagasse.

* DoNotGoGentle

* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: Kragen.]]
-->[[spoiler:"This guy can't take rejections well."]]

* ForHappiness
* GoodIsNotDumb: Georgia might seem naïve but she is a very good saleswoman and gives some solid advice to other characters. Despite all of Kragen’s attempts to humiliate her, Georgia is usually one step ahead of him.

** [[spoiler: Miss Gunther. Kragen hires her to spy on Georgia but she befriends Georgia and refuses to give him any information after finding out Georgia is dying.]]
** [[spoiler: Ms. Burns. Once Georgia bluntly tells her that Kragen is never going to leave his wife for her, she steadily lightens up until Kragen attempts to humilate Georgia, at which point she dumps him and promises to help his wife take everything in the divorce.]]

* IronLady: Miss Gunther
* JerkAss: Matthew Kragen, who looks for any opportunity to compete with Georgia. Mr. Adamian, Georgia’s boss, also qualifies.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Miss Gunther is [[spoiler: revealed to be this. At first coming across as unfriendly and cold but once she learns Georgia is dying she makes an effort to be kind to her. Her earlier behaviour is implied to be the result of years spent waiting on selfish and entitled guests leaving her with a mild case of misanthropy.]]
* LaserGuidedKarma
* TheLastTitle: The title.

* PennyAmongDiamonds: Georgia lives the high life in Europe despite not being as wealthy as the other guests.
* PrincessForADay: Longer than a day, but it still fits.
* SassyBlackWoman: At first Inverted, then played straight. Georgia Byrd is shy and timid, and it's her petite friend, Rochelle, that is constantly trying to push her out of her shell with antics like yelling her crush's name across the department store. Once Georgia's CharacterDevelopment kicks in, though, this trope is in full swing.

* SnowedIn: The reason why Georgia can’t leave the hotel after deciding she wants to die at home.
* SupremeChef: Georgia’s idol Chef Didier. [[spoiler: Georgia herself by the end of the film.]]
