Synopsis
Georgia Byrd (Queen Latifah) lives a small life tucked inside big dreams. A shy cookware salesperson for a department store, she handles knives and skillets with the flair of a master chef. But when a misdiagnosis leads Georgia to believe her days are numbered, she decides that if she has to go, she's going to go with a bang - 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 her retail magnate boss (Timothy Hutton), who becomes convinced she's a 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...
