The Holiday


The Holiday

Who's in it: Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, Jack Black

What's it about: Iris(Winslet) and Amanda(Diaz) are two women who have trouble with men. Iris has been in love with a man for three years and has now found out he's engaged. He won't seem to let her go and it's driving her insane. Amanda can never find a stable relationship. She's beginning to hate men and everything that they stand for. These two women meet online for a house-swap. Over the 2 week Christmas holiday, Iris goes to L.A. and Amanda goes to England. Iris meets a man, Miles(Black). Amanda meets a man, Graham(Law).

What I think: This movie started and ended with great performances from all the stars. The storyline is quite realistic when you think of the world as a whole. Everything that happens has me just crept up to the screen wishing I could somehow be part of the movie. I'm wanting to slap, hug, cry, laugh, and love all at the same time. I completely recommend this movie for couples who want to snuggle and have a good night together.
