Description of The Holiday:
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

The Holiday Reviews:
Holiday 
2009-12-28 - Enjoyed this very much. Was well done and the plot was one that kept you rooting for the good guys. Well worth the watch and one that I am sure every man would enjoy.
Worth owning 
2009-12-21 - I do not purchase very many movies because there are few that I really want to watch over and over. This one is one of the few that I can always watch again. It's a cute holiday film that makes me smile. Very much a chick flick. Nothing too heavy. Not sure what exactly makes it one of my favorites but it could be Jude Law. He is very, very cute in this movie :)
LOVE IT!
