Product Description: HOLIDAY (2006/BR/WS 1.85 A/DD 5.1/PCM 5.1/ENG-SP-S
Amazon.com: As a pleasant dose of holiday cheer, The Holiday is a lovable love story with all the Christmas trimmings. In the capable hands of writer-director Nancy Meyers (making her first romantic comedy since Something's Gotta Give), it all begins when two successful yet unhappy women connect through a home-swapping website, and decide to trade houses for the Christmas holiday in a mutual effort to forget their man troubles. Iris (Kate Winslet) is a London-based journalist who lives in a picture-postcard cottage in Surrey, and Amanda (Cameron Diaz) owns a movie-trailer production company (leading her to cutely imagine most of her life as a "coming attraction") and lives in a posh mansion in Beverly Hills. Iris is heartbroken from unrequited love with a cad of a colleague (Rufus Sewell), and Amanda has just broken up with her cheating boyfriend (Edward Burns), so their home-swapping offers mutual downtime to reassess their love lives. This being a Nancy Meyers movie (where everything is fabulously decorated and romantic wish-fulfillment is virtually guaranteed), Amanda hooks up with Iris's charming brother Graham (Jude Law), and Iris is unexpectedly smitten with Miles (Jack Black), a super-nice film composer on the downside of a failing relationship. --Jeff Shannon

i remeber a couple of years ago seeing the ad for this film and i REALLY wanted to see it. the thing is, i never have time to watch movies. i don't watch t.v. i can barely even read a novel these days; my life is simply too chaotic. however, on valentine's day i made myself slow down a bit and decided to see what was on the telley. i found this movie and was just sucked in! my fiance and i both loved it, although more me than him :) i went to target yesterday and purchased it because i HAD to add ...

Here is another "chick flick" worth watching. It's got a great cast and if you were wondering whether or not there was anything more random than Jack Black playing a romantic lead, there really isn't. And he's actually great in here. This movie's got gorgeous settings (Los Angeles and London) and it's a feel-good film. And Hans Zimmer composed all of the music so the soundtrack is pretty amazing. Overall, a very classy romantic comedy. You should definitely check it out whenever you get the chance.

I purchased this for my mom for Christmas. The DVD was not in perfect quality. However, the movie itself is a lovely film that we all enjoyed!

I don't like chick flicks, so when this was in theaters I avoided it like the plague, but one day I caught a bit of it on cable and found it fun- light, silly, warm and wonderful. In short, a perfect holiday movie.
In terms of a plot, there's not much there- two women find themselves flailing during the holidays and swap homes in hope of a bit of a change of scene and a break from the crazy. Jack Black is surprisingly honest and likable as Miles the composer. Kate Winslet is, in my opinion, ... Read More
