Posted: 10/26/2007A review of The Holiday by silmaryj1
This movie was just that..."Flakey!" It had no "real" plot, with these verrry predictable characters, with no real talent for acting!! The characters were unbelievable at best! Black's role was expendable and would have been just as "tired" had Lassie or Benji (which I might add was very good in "Benji the Hunted!") had performed them... These women, where do they get these female, so-called actresses from, I declare! No talent, no real (inner) beauty, no physical beauty and no, as was so misrepresented in the movie, NO GUMPTION!!!!! I'm glad I didn't waste any money at the movies or even renting on DVD for this 2+hour bag of air. What I did notice was the very familiar background music that had such a striking resemblence to that of "Somthings Gotta Give" which happened to be on at the same time so I flipped the channels during the scenes just to hearsee the similarity... I was right.. Only a couple notes changed to "protect the bad acting!!!!"

Honestly, this movie was so dreadful that one star is a mark of generosity. The performance of Diaz was particularly galling. She is truly terrible, and the plot is so mindless and unchallenging, it will please only the least demanding viewer. Typical of the schmoltz we've come to expect from Hollywood. And if my girlfriend is reading this - honey, you picked it, not me.

Honestly, I think most of these Hollywood actresses are too sluttish to pose as nice girls. Jude Law seems to be a type of self-involved person that would abandon his own mother if she asked him to hand her the medicine from the cabinet. And Jack Black seems to have had a childhood that he burnt too many brain cells in and partied too much and became clueless. I think these individually were not suitable to play these roles, which led to a feeling of falsehood in the plot.

I purchased this movie the day it was released on DVD, and Im so glad I did. All the actors were wonderful. The movie was funny, charming, but most of all entertaining. I laughed, cried, and just really enjoyed this movie so much.

Posted: 3/13/2007A review of The Holiday by Elaine2183
This movie is sweet and generally not objectionable, but also not outstanding. Kate Winslet is lovely and her character is very appealing. Her story line with Jack Black is also very appealing. He is surprisingly good in this role and they make a cute pair. Cameron Diaz, while beautiful, is just awful in this movie. She overacts, being over the top goofy and clutzy, and completely unbelievable at times. Jude Law is well cast as the town casanova (a role that hits close to home) who falls for Cameron. The little girls save the storyline for Cameron and Jude. The movie ends sweetly for all. So-so chick flick with a holiday twist.

Posted: 2/14/2007A review of The Holiday by LOWLEW
I dont know what movie these people saw but this is one of the worst movies Ive seen in a while. couldnt believe I spent my hard earned money. Its pretty much Cameron and Jude making out, or her just walking around throwing a fit or just looking around. Kate was the best part of this moving. I wish the moving had been about her. There were too many story lines going on to get to involved with any one character. Jack was good for some laughs too. I love chic flicks and am a total girl and I hated this movie, even thought about leaving for the first hour.

Posted: 1/14/2007A review of The Holiday by chickflickaholic
I went and saw this movie with my mom yesterday. We are avid chick-flick movie goers and this was up there with our favorites. The characters were all perfect, with the exception of Jack Black, they really didnt develop the relationship well between him and Kate. I didnt like Jude Law much until I saw this film as well. He was so sweet and adorable as the lonely single father of 2 little girls - the tent scene was the best scene in the movie by far. It ended well and realistically and I cant wait to pick this one up on DVD.

Usually, a guy like me would never go for a chick flick like this, but the movie is DEFINITELY a must see. The story is fantastic and the comedy is hilarious. If youre a guy, make sure you go see it with a girl, and not your guy friends, because that would just end up weird.

I loved this movie. The story, the characters, the actors and the scenery were all great. I love Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz and like Jack Black and after watching this movie, I love Jude Law. The little girls were so cute.

I actually loved this movie, I really dont like Jack Black as an actor but even I could look past that. I disagree with people saying that Cameron Diaz does the same character all the time. Its true that she sticks to the Romantic Comedy genre, with exceptions like Vanilla Sky and the Mask, but her characters are different if you really watch them. Kate Winslet is breathtaking in her first romantic comedy and Ive never really been a Jude Law fan but I dont hate him. Amazing quotes can be had from this movie, and the ending is sweet. The voice over sequences were a little weird but original. Overall this is a good chickflick.
