 Fantastic Movie, 2008-03-28
This is a great movie. I own it and bought one for one of my best friends. We laughed and teared a bit. Hilarious and so cute.
Thought I might like it and I did!, 2008-03-28
I decided to go ahead and buy this movie because I thought it looked like kind of a fun movie from the previews. Honestly it exceeded my expectations. I really enjoyed it. I really was swept up in the story and the romance between the two couples. A suprisingly great movie!

 Tainted Love, 2008-03-25
Film Review of "The Holiday" (2006):
By one scene this film was ruined for me.
Within one day of ending a bad relationship, the character Amanda Woods
travels a quarter of the world away from her problem. She's staying in
an isolated house in a land unfamiliar to her. It's night. A vulgar
drunk, a stranger, pounds on her front door. And what does she do? She
opens the door to him. Not Smart. He staggers into the house, then the
bathroom, where he urinates the alcohol out of his system. Based upon
this first impression she decides she has to have him. They share a
drink. He invites himself to stay in the house for the night. She
agrees. They move to a couch and begin kissing. She reasons away her
self-respect by justifying lust with a stranger. Eight and a half
minutes (!) after meeting this man she leads him to the bedroom.
This is what they offer women as an example to follow in romance? This
is supposed to be our dream? And at Christmas no less. This scene is
human degradation wrapped in a pretty package. With all films it is
necessary for the viewer to suspend disbelief. But to suspend your
morals, discernment, or basic common sense? No. That is too much to
ask. I won't give over my understanding of the difference between what
is right and what is wrong to lend dignity to an objectionable idea
that's been manipulated to appear beautiful.
With this scene set early as the foundation of the "love" story I
couldn't enjoy the remainder of the film. The film was too tainted for
any later tenderness to redeem it in my eyes.
Wonderful Romantic Comedy, 2008-03-23
The Holiday is a wonderful heart-warming romantic comedy and is right up there with" Love Actually". It's a 'feel good' movie. The stars are wonderful and Jack Black is terrific.
