Title: The Holiday (Official Site)
Cast: Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, Jack Black
Directed by: Nancy Meyers
Release Date: December 8, 2006
Genre: Comedy/ Romance
it's a romatic comedy.. a cute one.. it's a heartwarming & refreshing movie that i think it's best for the holiday season.. i was first attracted to this movie becoz of its idea of "exchanging home".. i heard about this "Home Exchange" (in real life) yrs ago; instead of staying in a hotel on vacation, people swap home.. i was excited to see that somebody is actually putting this idea in a movie..
two women with relationship problem, one in L.A. (Amanda) & one in London (Iris), decided to exchange homes during the Christmas holidays.. & each met a local guy in that foreign country during their stay, Amanda met Graham while Iris met Miles, & they fell in love with the guy.. it's actually two love stories instead of one..
two very different women who live 6,000 miles apart, falling in love in the opposite worlds.. each of the characters had their own "problem": Iris, being a wedding columnist in London's Daily Telegraph, couldn't get out of love with someone who wasn't treating her as a girlfriend; Amanda, the owner of a prospering advertising firm that creates movie trailers, couldn't commit in a relationship; Graham, a book editor, having a hard time revealing his real life to others; while Miles, a movie composer, always falling in love with the wrong women..
the story went very naturally.. & the characters seemed to have good on-screen chemistry too..
a little surprise was that.. when the two daughters were introduced into the movie.. i loved the tent scene where the four of them lying there & chatted.. so cute.. & i think Jude Law did a great job.. the "little secret" of him made his character even more adorable.. & the two girls were lovely..

also a funny little scene where Iris & Miles were in a movie rental store, when Miles was talking about the score in the movie "The Graduate", Dustin Hoffman (who starred in "The Graduate") was actually there to do a cameo..
& i must add.. the two houses were so wonderful.. Iris' English cottage was nice & cozy.. while i love Amanda's stylist house in Los Angeles too.. particulary the living room, which she had all her DVDs on shelves next to her big TV.. it was incredible.. LG & i were saying that we should set up our "future" home like this.. hee hee..
".. we are going to go celebrate being young and being alive.."
