Review of The Holiday (2006) by Nicki M — 21 Dec 2017
As chick flicks go, it's not bad. The leading men are all pretty ugh. I mean seriously, Jack Black looks and behaves like a demented cabbage patch kid all through this. The scene at the video store was cringe able. I have trouble picturing any woman being attracted to those looks and his honestly weird behavior. Ditto sleazy Jude Law whose character turns out to have two kids. Wow what a deal for beautiful, rich Amanda. I did like Kate Winslet's Iris, and the nice story with her and the old man next door. The English town looks beautiful too, and her little cottage.
The story gets a bit convenient right at the end and the logistics I can't even imagine, but it's all happy music and fade out by then, so I don't expect we are expected to think how the hell these relationships would ever work out.
Nice little story and a few laughs. Cameron Diaz is good also, I miss seeing her in comedies.
