Editorial Reviews: 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

Williams (London, UK) 23 out of 27 found this review helpful I was bewitched by this film. Great perfomances from Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet. I don't normally like Jack Black that much, but he was actually a much better performer than pretty boy Jude Law who didn't have to do much, but look pretty. A film to watch with your girlfriends (or boyfriend) on a rainy day or Sunday afternoon with a bottle of wine and lots of snacks. perfect christmassy film September 30, 2007 Mrs. R. S. Prescott (Liverpool,uk) 12 out of 14 found this review helpful I watched this film when I was wrapping my christmas presents I got so involved in the film I stopped wrapping and watched it all the way through!!

I loved it and cant wait for it to be released on DVD. All the actors and actresses are great, jude law is just gorgeous and plays the role perfectly that you will fall in love with him too, jack black is funny and cute, cameron is gorgeous as ever and kate is wonderful and fragile. You will not want the film to end and you will feel really happy afterwards and even a bit jealous!! Great 'feel good' movie August 21, 2007 J. Bell (North Yorkshire) 13 out of 16 found this review helpful I am surprised by some of the reviews only giving this film 1 or 2 stars. I thought it was brilliant and so did a male friend of mine. Kate Winslet is endearing as ever and if nothing else Jude Law is just gorgeous in it. Loved Cameron Diaz but wasnt so sure about Jack Black. The story is predictable in places but who cares it is an easy watch. Showing reviews 1-5 of 125 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...25 Next »
