USF Topnotch Theater presents "Last Holiday"
The University of St. Francis invites the community to view the movie, "Last Holiday," at a Topnotch Theater event.
The movie will be shown at 6:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, April 28 and 29 in the university’s Moser Performing Arts Center auditorium. Admission is $1, and all children under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
"Last Holiday" is rated PG-13. Georgia Byrd (Queen Latifah) lives a small life tucked inside big dreams. 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 she has been diagnosed with a fatal disease, 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 venerated chef (Gerard Depardieu) as well as a retail magnate (Timothy Hutton), who is convinced she is a retail 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….
