I remember watching the holiday for the first time I was pulled in by the storyline, Also I'm a huge fan of jude law so I had to watch it when I knew he was in it. Anyway if you love a romantic film this film is defiantly the one, The storyline and cast will just pull you in. Absolutely love this film. Never get bored of it

I went into the film not expecting much and came out of it feeling much the same. The elements of romance and comedy occasionally hit the landing but besides that the film is rather bland. Many scenes, especially near the beginning, go on for far too long, and as a result I didn't really feel engaged by the narrative that much.However, the performances of all the main actors are assured which works very well in the films favour, particularly from Kate Winslet and Jude Law. Also the story arc between Iris and the screenwriter Arthur is explored wonderfully with the correct amount of nuance, which for me was the best part of the film.By no means is this a terrible film, it's just rather middling.

My opinion---The Holiday, is a lovely romantic comedy by Nancy Meyers "What Women Want and The New Trainee" among other things, she loves romantic cinema and this is reflected in the quality of her films, proof almost all her films are focused on The subject with happiness, and The Holiday is in this vein, romantic, a nice little story and every time she has chosen very good actors as in this film, with two super duos: Cameron Díaz / Jude Law and Kate Winslet / Jack Black; I can say that I found Cameron Diaz perfect for me one of his best role as far as Jack Black he has an on-screen presence always noticed, I love this actor. The soundtrack of this great music master of movies that is Hans Zimmer is also very pleasant. In the end this film is very well done and the romances are beautiful, a film where you do not stress, a film to discover because it is very good in its kind.

The Holiday (2006) is an out of the ballpark smash hit! I thought about it after seeing it and just seriously could find NO fault whatsoever. This is such a feel good, cute, romantic, and sweet film. And it's not one of those stupid run of the mill romance movies, it actually has depth and is well made. Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz are two women recently out of relationships with men, and pretty fed up with life in general, so they decide to go on vacation. They switch houses, Cameron goes to stay in England in Kate's house, and Kate goes to Los Angeles to stay in Cameron's house. The plot in and of itself is interesting and draws you in to keep watching. The script is well written and original, with little sparks of comedy thrown in where needed. And then there are scenes where we get to know our characters, usually through deep conversations with them and other characters. There definitely are NOT cardboard cut out one dimensional characters here, they are characters with real life issues, true depth, and interesting backgrounds. The romance and chemistry between the couples is great! It's truly eclectic and comes so wonderfully natural. I also love the side plot between Kate Winslet and the older screenwriter next door neighbor, it's so undeniably cute and so sweet, it's just endearing, I actually cried during the scene where he is honored at that ceremony! 10/10 for The Holiday! It's so well deserved!
