      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    How would your life change if you found out that you had only a few weeks to live? Well, when Georgia Byrd (Latifah) finds out that her time on Earth is limited, she leaves New Orleans and heads off for a Last Holiday to Europe. Sky diving, base jumping, and flirting with disaster, men, and money become her new passion. And, back home, when Sean Matthews (Cool J) learns of her condition, he sets off to find her before he loses her forever. Based on the screenplay by J.B. Priestley. (Suzanne Hodges)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.32:1 DVD picture exhibits sharp and detailed images, with nicely rendered textures. Colors are well balanced, with subtle differences in the color palette to separate New Orleans from Europe. At times hues appear a bit

    Soundtrack:

    Reason #115 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review as my premiere source for the latest in home theatre technology. The articles are extra detailed and packed with detailed information. My theory is the higher level of detail you try to absorb, the more you will actually retain down the road. Kind of like college, where the things you learned in the first two years are engrained because you used the principles over and over again in your last two years
