Amazon.co.uk Review
As a pleasant dose of holiday cheer, iThe Holiday/i 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 iSomething's Gotta Give/i), 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. i--Jeff Shannon/i

 A perfect romcom December 23, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a great romcom for those who already like them. If you're not into romantic comedies it may be a little bit too smaltzy or predictable for you, but I like predictable when it comes to this sort of film. The leads were all very well cast, and I even liked Jude Law in it which is amazing as he's usually a turn off. A very good, pleasantly entertaining film.
 The Holiday was PANTS December 21, 2008

I love movies and am prepared to watch most....but I had to leave halfway through this one. It was very poor, badly acted, predictable and I wouldnt accept it for free. Dont wast your money. There are plenty of engaging, predictable, romantic, great movies out there, and this will never be one of them. Why oh why dont good or famous actors/actresses read the script first before putting there names to such a pile of c..p.
 One Cracking Christmas Film November 16, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I cannot recomend this film enough! It's funny, its romanitc and an all round great film. The sound track has something that makes you want to play it all over again. Jude Law, Jack Black and Kate Winslet all gave brilliant performances, Cameron's however, lacked the certain pizaz that she ususally has. But over all, one cracking Christmas film!
 Pleasant, but undemanding October 18, 2008
This is pleasant and predictable. The lead characters are sympathetic and good looking. The villians are rats and one dimensional. The scenery is easy on the eye and the music appropriate.br /br /There's a few inconsistencies. The female journalist (Winslet) is told to write an article and then goes off to America, the article presumably unwritten. Being able to book leave at the drop of a hat, and with work undone, is never explained. And it is unclear how a single woman with not a high salary can live in such a wonderful cottage. Domestic violence is also approved of, though, of course, only when a woman does it to a man.br /br /The film won't strain your brain or give any shocks at all. It is a sugary romance and for those who like these, there's nothing wrong with that. br /
 I can't make it through September 24, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I usually like chick flicks, but this film was just too slow to hold my interest. Plus, it was cringeworthy and awkward to watch. On the whole, I admire Kate Winslet as an actress, but in this film, I just found her very annoying. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone...it gets two stars simply because its aesthetically pleasing...
