Movie Reviews of The Holiday
Movie Review: Romantic, with "Cute" Meet-ups"
Summary: 3 Stars
The movie is a bit long for the story, but overall has a few bright moments. I thought that the part with the 91 year old Eli Walach was one of the bright moments to enjoy.
The two female romantic leads are Cameron Diaz (a southern California advertising VIP that creates movie trailers) and Iris Simpkins (Kate Winslet) an English wedding column writer who lives in a quaint cottage in the English countryside.
They both need a break from the men who complicate their lives. By chance both Amanda and Iris find each other through an Internet site that specializes in home exchanges for short-term get-a-ways. Amanda and Iris are thousands of miles away from each other but both are excited to change homes and cross continents to move into each other's homes for two weeks.
Iris lands in Amanda's Los Angeles home, and Amanda lands in Iris's English cottage.
Each young woman has a eye-opening adventure and learn of new and deep relationships in their unfamiliar settings.
Iris helps Arthur (Eli Wallach) who is a screenwriter from Hollywood's golden days. He has her watch movies of strong female lead and Iris helps him find the confidence to face his past and accept some praise from his peers. Iris also finds true love in Los Angeles (Jack Black).
Amanda meets Iris's handsome brother (Jude Law) as he comes knocking at the cottage door. She learns that he is a widower with two small children, and discovers that even though she does not want to risk vulnerability, she finds love and trust to ask for the family she wants.
Summary of The Holiday
Two women, one Los Angeles and the other in London, exchange homes during the Christmas holiday to forget the men in their lives, only to fall in love again.Genre: Feature Film-Comedy
Rating: PG13
Release Date: 2-OCT-2007
Media Type: DVD
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
