Last Holiday

A 2006 Gender Flipped (and Race Lifted) remake of the 1950 film.

Quiet department store employee Georgia Byrd (Queen Latifah) receives a devastating diagnosis after a bump on the head sends her to the doctor. Deciding to take charge, Georgia spends her life savings on a dream vacation in the Czech Republic at the luxurious Grandhotel Pupp. While taking in all the wonders her trip has to offer, Georgia starts to spread her new-found zest for life to the colorful high-profile guests.

Last Holiday provides examples of:

 * An Aesop
 * Back to School: Ms. Burns would lose her job and have to go back to college if she left Kragen.
 * The Beautiful Elite: The hotel guests.
 * The Cameo: Emeril Lagasse.
 * Do Not Go Gentle
 * Do They Know Its Christmas Time: Subverted. For the title being Last Holiday, the setting near Christmas, and Georgia praying frequently, there is surprisingly little reference to Christmas.
 * Double Aesop:
 * The End Is Nigh: Georgia is told she only has a few weeks left to live.
 * For Happiness
 * Good Is Not Dumb: 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.
 * Heel Face Turn:
 * Impossibly Delicious Food: Chef Didier’s gourmet meals look incredibly appetizing.
 * Interrupted Suicide: . The whole scene is Played for Laughs.
 * Iron Lady: Miss Gunther
 * Jerkass: Matthew Kragen, who looks for any opportunity to compete with Georgia. Mr. Adamian, Georgia’s boss, also qualifies.
 * Like You Were Dying: Georgia travels to Europe and tries dozens of new things because of this trope.
 * Mistaken for Dying:
 * The Mistress: Ms. Burns to Kragen. She is ridiculed and scorned for it at work but holds out hope Kragen will leave his wife for her.
 * Money to Throw Away: 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.
 * If this troper is not mistaken, the operation would have been a great deal more than she could afford, even after she cashes in the savings bonds or whatever it was.
 * Onion Tears: Chef Didier discovers Georgia is dying and uses the fact that he is chopping onions as an excuse for crying.
 * Penny Among Diamonds: Georgia lives the high life in Europe despite not being as wealthy as the other guests.
 * Princess for A Day: Longer than a day, but it still fits.
 * Snowed In: The reason why Georgia can’t leave the hotel after deciding she wants to die at home.
 * Supreme Chef: Georgia’s idol Chef Didier.
 * Through His Stomach: Georgia impresses Sean with her cooking skills.
