Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review 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

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! Great Chick Flick...Like reading a good book January 19, 2008 R. Gilchrist (UK) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful Ahh this is a great chick flick, that has you watching it from beginning to end. A real romatic with a handful of comedy through out. Kate and Cameron were great and the story was easy to go along with. It reminds me of a good chick flick book with some real out loud laughter and some sad need a tissue moment. No OTT sex scenes which is a nice change just romance.. A real nice movie to watch when you want to watch something but you don't know what you want to watch.. Great film 10/10 just love this film! April 27, 2008 A. Scott 2 out of 2 found this review helpful daughter and I loved this film. The gorgeous cast and fantastic instrumental soundtrack all add up to the type of film you can watch over and over again. Although predictable, girls all over will be able to relate to the failed relationships and the need for romance which have the characters house swapping from English countryside to L.A and visa versa. Starring Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law and Jack Black. Sweet Transatlantic Romance July 24, 2007 S. Williams (London, UK) 27 out of 32 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. The Holiday - feel good film! September 21, 2007 Ms. V. Atkinson (Essex, UK) 6 out of 7 found this review helpful I bought this looking for a nice romantic comedy and I wasn't disappointed. Whilst Cameron Diaz isnt the best actress, I really enjoyed this film. Nice twist with Jude Law's character & a happy ending for those of us looking for a bit of escapism.
