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

 Warm cocoa will flow through your veins watching this August 20, 2008
Reviewer 2543 (SC)
If you are an "Under The Tuscan Sun" fan you'll want to add this one to your chick flick collection. It gets better and better with each viewing (great to watch in bed, especially if you are an insomniac). Nancy Meyers is just a genius at adding the perfect complimentary music to her films. There's an atmosphere to the whole thing. If only to watch the brilliant, BRILLIANT Kate Winslet act, you should get it. First time I saw the movie I thought Diaz was a little broad but the more I watch it the more I am impressed by her and appreciate her comedic talents. Jude Law, yummy. Not sure why Meyers cast Jack Black, but he delivers. This DVD is a no brainer to buy if you have even the slightest hint of a romantic bone in your body.
This one made me cry August 15, 2008
Brad Alman (Petaluma, CA)
Have you ever had a moment in your life where things have dramatically changed? And you didn't know how you were going to pick yourself up? Well I happened to catch this movie half way through when a relationship literally came to an end. This movie has to be one of the most heart mending movies I've ever seen. Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, and Jack Black are very enjoyable in this. It's so great to see Jack Black in a serious love interest role. If I had never seen this movie, I would've never believed he could pull this off. This movie will warm your heart no matter where you are in life.

I just adore this movie and found myself surfing around during the holidays to see it. Much easier now to have it at the ready.
Another great one for the Christmas collection!! August 10, 2008
J. White (North Carolina, USA)
I am an avid collector of movies for my Christmas collection. My wife got me started on this movie, and I have to say it was a VERY nice surprise. When it came out, I thought it was just a 'Chick Flick'. It is a romance, but everybody can enjoy this one.
As for the collection, I always ask myself if a Christmas movie is one that I should add, will I watch it every year, is the story a good Christmas movie, etc.? 'The Holiday' is definitely one if you like keeping a box of movies that gets pulled out around Thanksgiving every year!
Don't let the low price fool you either. It is a great deal for a great movie.
I loved this movie so much it's amazing I put it off for so long... July 30, 2008

First of all, I know Cameron Diaz is not the best actress in the world by a long stretch, but the movie is so good in other ways it is still enjoyable. The story line of Iris and the older man (whose name escapes me at the moment) is one of the highlights. Some reviewers said they had a problem with Jack Black being one of the main love interests. For me it wasn't a problem. He was funny, charming and attentive. Why wouldn't Iris fall for him?
Jude Law was just delicious, and I loved the surprise story line of his. I've watched this at least 10 times now, and each time get something more out of it. If you watch the commentary, listen to what they say about his hand, playing Iris' theme.
One of my all time favorites, and a definite 'comfort' movie!
