This movie basically deals with two women swapping their houses over Christmas after they both have been utterly disappointed and hurt by men. During their holiday, they encounter new people, are having a good time, yet seem to have some trouble to tackle. In the sunny L.A., the British Iris Simpkins (Kate Winslet) makes friends with the old and doddery script writer Arthur Abbot (Eli Wallach) and helps him to step back into the spotlight. She also meets music composer Miles (Jack Black), who has relationship problems. In the meantime, Amanda Woods (Cameron Diaz) incipiently struggles to get along in Iris's cute yet tiny cottage and the romantic and cold weather in England, but then gets to know Irisi's brother Graham (Jude Law).
I like this movie very much, as the plot is charming and witty with many unexpected turns and a maybe predictable yet very nice end. Although this heart-warming love story takes place at Christmas, it can be watched during the whole cold time of the year ;-)
The actors deliver a nice performance, nothing special but still good and charming acting.
Hans Zimmer, who has written the soundtrack to this film, demonstrates his incredible talent once again. He created a warm, light and very romantic score I immediately fell in love with!
"The Holiday" may be considered just a romantic comedy (some scenes are really hilarious!), but I think it is a beautiful love story which also contains very sad and emotional parts, has a deeper meaning and has the potencial to become a real favourite movie!
So, if you have nothing to do some time, why not rent or buy "The Holiday" and watch it together with some good friends on a cold winter's day?
