As romantic comedies go, it's not awful, though Kate Winslet's character is the only interesting one. (It's implied she ends up with Jack Black. Hooray for Hollywood.)

It's a romantic comedy, with a likeable cast. Harmless and easy to watch, if a little uninspiring.

It's a reasonable take on the whole rom-com thing, a little schmaltzy in places, but to be honest tha's only playing to it's target audience. I thought it was OK.

One of my favorite dramedies with a romantic flavor, largely due to the half of the story involving Kate Winslet's character and the new friends she meets in LA. Diaz' less-than-charming character's half is helped by Jude Law and the sweet British countryside.

I'm not much on the ol' chick flicks, but I was pretty happy with this as far as romantic comedies go. Jack Black was probably about as good as he is capable of being. Where the flick falls to Earth is in its blatant predictability and the mindless evolution of the two romances. Jude Law is sexy, yes, but anybody could call that, and... I dunno, there was nothing all that special about it. When I rely on Jack Black to "save" a romantic comedy, something is wrong.

For a movie with a subplot about an Oscar winning writer, this movie sure does have some of the most unnatural dialogue possible. Everything out of Cameron Diaz's mouth sounds like she's just struggling to read it off a cue card, which is very unlike her. Jack Black is somehow directed into being completely bland & vanilla. The best part is Kate Winslet who still manages to be very charming and likeable despite the script. On the whole, though, the movie just rings false.

All the leads in the film (bar Winslet) are awful, and the writing is just mind-bogglingly stupid. Badly made, poorly acted and a general predictable cliche-fest of shit. Not worth your time and effort. Avoid this like the fat kid in a Greenday shirt at a party.

For the Holidays, Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet decide to home swamp to get away from their lives; but instead they find themselves and ultimately find true love. The Holiday has all the charm of It's a Wonderful Life with all the zest of How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. This is in my top 5 favorite films, and I'm a guy! Other top 5's are The Matrix and Rambo: First Blood Part II!

100 for the parts with Kate Winslet! I had to mark this down a tad because I felt Diaz was lacking in her role. I felt there could have been more to her character than she brought. That said, I LOVE this movie! It's one that's great to watch again and again. It's a great romantic-comedy, and it doesn't feel like a re-telling of a story we've already seen many times. Cute characters, mostly well acted, and interesting story-lines for various characters. Love it!

Were it not for Kate Winslet, this movie would have been straight torture. Instead only the Cameron Diaz segments, which seem to heavily outweigh Winslet's, are excruciating. It's one of the laziest romantic comedies I've ever seen, as if just telling us these couples are falling in love is enough to make it watchable. It's not.

Un film doux, mais j'ai regretté le temps d'écran de Kate Winslet, au profit de celui de Cameron Diaz, comme s'il y avait un ticket doré pour les plus jeunes et les plus beaux, alors que Kate Winslet a le meilleur rôle du film. La gentillesse incarnée, fleur désincarnée en quête de bonheur, son histoire avec l'ancien scénariste est la bouteille d'oxygène du film. Voir Jude Law c'est rafraîchissant, il est magnifique dans ce film, mais ça manque de surprises, pour un sentier romantique banal.

Amanda (Cameron Diaz) is an American who is experiencing problems in her relationship. To get away from all this nagging, she exchanges her house during the holidays for that of an unknown Englishman. This brings her into the life of Iris (Kate Winslet) and they temporarily take over each other's lives.

Jude Law and Cameron Diaz: no chemistry. Jack Black and Kate Winslet: some chemistry. Neither storyline is very interesting though, they go from a to b about exactly as you'd expect them to and somehow take over 2 hours doing so.

This offered zero surprises and there was no reason why it had to be so long, but I also have to say that it's a well made RomCom and a surprisingly easy watch. It's definitely something to numb yourself with after eating too much sweets and drinking glühwein during the holidays. Extra points for Eli Wallach and all the scenes related to old Hollywood.

Few writer-directors can master fuzzy films like Nancy Meyers. I love artful cinema as much as most here, but I'm also a sucker for light comedies that are (mostly) well written and feature a cast totally game for the material. It's cute background noise while you decorate your Christmas tree.

One mini-review here begins "Think 'How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days' meets 'Love Actually'..."--which I find to be an apt analogy--then, inexplicably, continues to give it a positive review! By all means put all the nausea-inducing moments of those two abhorrent flicks together in your mind to get an idea of what this has in store. Jack Black was the only person I actually cared about, although Kate Winslet did her game best with her poorly-written, 2-dimensional character.
