As a pleasant dose of holiday cheer, The Holiday is a lovable love story with all the Christmas trimmings. In the capable hands of writer-director Nancy Meyers (making her first romantic comedy since Something's Gotta Give), it all begins when two successful yet unhappy women connect through a home-swapping website, and decide to trade houses for the Christmas holiday in a mutual effort to forget their man troubles. Iris (Kate Winslet) is a London-based journalist who lives in a picture-postcard cottage in Surrey, and Amanda (Cameron Diaz) owns a movie-trailer production company (leading her to cutely imagine most of her life as a "coming attraction") and lives in a posh mansion in Beverly Hills. Iris is heartbroken from unrequited love with a cad of a colleague (Rufus Sewell), and Amanda has just broken up with her cheating boyfriend (Edward Burns), so their home-swapping offers mutual downtime to reassess their love lives. This being a Nancy Meyers movie (where everything is fabulously decorated and romantic wish-fulfillment is virtually guaranteed), Amanda hooks up with Iris's charming brother Graham (Jude Law), and Iris is unexpectedly smitten with Miles (Jack Black), a super-nice film composer on the downside of a failing relationship. --Jeff Shannon

5 out of 5 stars Great "Feel Good" Movie   October 27, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I can watch this movie over and over and over and, well, you get it. It's one of my favorite "feel good" movies, especially when it's been a rough week.

Great Christmas Holiday DVD for the times we live in! Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law and Jack Black are outstand in the picture! Truly a classic romantic comedy that's worth watching throughout the year, not just a Christmas!


3 out of 5 stars Feel Good Movie   October 15, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I have watched this movie over and over and I never get tired of it. It's one of those "feel good" movies that you almost hate to see come to an end. The actors seem to fit their role to perfection. It isn't a movie that is going to make you roar with laughter but the light humor absolutely puts a smile on your face. Cameron Diaz, Jude Law, Kate Winslet, Jack Black, and Eli Wallach all do a wonderful job of entertaining you.


5 out of 5 stars One of my favorites!   September 7, 2008

This movie makes me wanna cry. I love the actors and Black Jack is totally different in this movie. Worth to watch with boyfriend or husband, haha.


4 out of 5 stars Romantic Comedy Movie   September 1, 2008
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Happy music and a happy, feel good movie (Director, Nancy Meyers) (Music by Hans Zimmer). When I need a romantic comedy pick-me-up, I also reach for Love Actually, Wedding Date, You've Got Mail, Walk in the Clouds, Must Love Dogs, Mamma Mia...
