Nice effects though.

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Great Movie and It Makes Me Both Happy and Sad Too Love This Movie No Matter What This Says Of Me I watch it Like Everyday awesome mOVIE tHAT I Love It So Much I Just Love The Romance and Christmas Themed Movies Like This One,Absolutely Love Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz and Jack Black and Jude Law,It Is Sad and Very Heartbreaking when Love Does Not Out but Who Knows Hopefully They All Work Out In End But It Shows How Sometimes We All Meet a Bunch of wrong people before we meet that special someone the right person for us and I really love this movie and I know that the movie is bound to become a true classic for all time,i truly cannot get enough of this movie don't care what other people might read into about me one of the best movies I have ever seen glad I got this DVD for sure

For many 'The Holiday' has joined the ranks of Christmas classic's in terms of films. I wish them well with this but for me this is an average film that is made marginally better by an all-star cast, who seem to be having a better time than the audience.It's trying to be like 'Love Actually', it's trying to be sweet and romantic, but in the end I just didn't buy into Jack Black's character, or the one played by Kate Winslet.It has it's moments, but for me they are far and few between in an overly long film that could've been over and done with in 90 minutes tops.But it's Christmas, we are kinder to films that are trying to entertain us. Even if this one tries too hard.

Kate Winslet deserves much much better than Jack Black! He is fat, not remotely handsome, and boring. Kate is beautiful, funny, smart, talented, and shining on the screen. She shouldn't have played the second woman. The girlfriend. She is a leading lady. The movie is boring too, not funny, not smart, not entertaining. Not even related to Christmas, just shot at Christmas time. Judd Law is too good for Cameron Diaz too... Maybe, if Kate and Judd, and Jack and Cameron would make a couple, that would be better. Horrible, fake. Just got the feedback I need 10 lines when I actually wrote 11 lines. Not sure whats the issue IMDb... So added this text hopefully will accept.

The Holiday is THE perfect movie to watch an a cold, rainy Sunday. It makes you laugh and cry at the same time. You might think The Holiday is a lengthy story, because he almost takes two hours and a half. I can tell you the Holiday isn't verbose at all. I have watched this movie at least 15 times and I still don't get bored while watching. The Holiday goes about two women who switch houses. Amanda, played by Cameron Diaz, lives in a massive cottage in L.A. Iris, played by Kate Winslet, lives in an romantic, little house in Sunderland, 20 minutes from London. They both needed a vacation to escape, especially from the men in their life. But a good movie wouldn't be a good movie, if they wouldn't fall in love again. The Holiday is a movie full of humour and love!
