About this product

Product Information

The Brits and the Yanks join forces in this romantic Christmas comedy set in England and L.A. Kate Winslet is a British journalist caught in a cycle of unrequited love with her coworker, Jasper (Rufus Sewell). Jasper does his best to lead her on, and when he announces his engagement to another woman in the office, Winslet is crushed. Meanwhile, across the pond, Cameron Diaz is a high-strung movie-trailer editor who has just ended her relationship with Ethan (Edward Burns) after he accuses her of being emotionally unavailable. And, oh yes, he has sort of been sleeping with his receptionist. Brokenhearted, Diaz and Winslet make contact through a vacation website and agree to swap homes for two weeks to escape their disastrous personal lives. Winslet takes off for Diaz's lavish L.A. pad, while Diaz arrives at Winslet's picturesque cottage right outside London. When Winslet's brother Graham (Jude Law) knocks at the door one night looking for his sister, he instead encounters Diaz, and sparks soon fly--despite the fact that they both know she won't be in town for long. Winslet, for her part, is busy mending her heart in sunny California, befriending Diaz's elderly neighbor, and making the acquaintance of film composer Miles (Jack Black). But her healing is abruptly interrupted when Jasper suddenly appears on her doorstep, having flown halfway round the world to make sure he still has her under his spell. Miles apart, Winslet and Diaz find themselves at the crux of all rom-com crises: how to follow your heart, while still being true to yourself. While THE HOLIDAY's whimsical plot can at times feels stretched thinner than Diaz's legs, fans of the genre will no doubt find Winslet's thespian charms, Law's dimples, and the high-fashion wardrobes quite enough to give them their chick-flick fix.

  • The Holiday, film reveiw

    I have seen this film a dozen times or so and never get tired of it. It's a great story of an American and English women, both leaving, or having been left with awful boy friends. They swap homes on a spur of a moment decision over Christmas and News Years to get a chance to review their lives. Each meets a new man, one in Hollywood and the other in Dorset. The story hangs together extremely well, with the English woman befriending a grieving widowed elderly film writer, how has "not been busy since 1976 (!)," played by Eli Wallach. He helps her to sort out her life and the way she was jilted. by explaining to her that he had known a lot of leading ladies is his life in film: by telling her over dinner that there are leading ladies and just friends, and he can tell that she is a leading lady. In turn, she encourages him to make a public appearance to be honored for his lifetime of work as a screen writer. Just a great film, and I had to have a copy of my own, so I can watch it a dozen more times, with my spouse, of course.

    We really enjoyed the movie. One you can watch with folks of any age. Far better than most of the tripe that Hollywierd produces these days.
