Quick Peek
Iris is in love with a man who is about to marry another woman. Across the globe, Amanda realizes the man she lives with has been unfaithful. Two women who have never met and live 6000 miles apart, find themselves in the exact same place. They meet online at a home exchange website and impulsively switch homes for the holiday. Iris moves into Amanda's L.A. house in sunny California as Amanda arrives in the snow covered English countryside. Shortly after arriving at their destinations, both women find the last thing either wants or expects: a new romance. Amanda is charmed by Iris' handsome brother Graham and Iris, with inspiration provided by legendary screenwriter Arthur, mends her heart when she meets film composer Miles.

User Reviews for The Holiday

I loved this movie!!! Here goes my first review... "The Holiday" isn't Oscar material but if you want to spend two hours in sheer bliss, go see this movie. One of the only romantic comedies this season, its' star-studded cast had fun and we're along for the ride. I'll admit, I went to see Jude Law and wasn't disappointed. His scenes with Cameron Diaz were both comical and heartwarming...I especially liked the way he looked at her as she did her "thing". His character was surely in love. It was also good to see Jude in a role where he had family (including sister Kate Winslet) Paired with Jack Black, they were a different kind of match though no less believable - why is it the Americans are always the comic relief? Enjoy the contrasting scenes of the English cottage and countryside and high-tech Los Angeles. There are surprises on both sides of the Atlantic, especially how love can be found in the most interesting places.
Pros: Performances, Set Design, High Escape Factor
Cons: Predictable

cute movie, alittle boring at times, there was not much chemistry between Jude Law and Cameron Diaz and not enough of funny man Jack Black!
