Way too long and not enough Jack Black. There is nothing special about this to make it a holiday tradition.

There are only two films that I rewatch every Xmas... EVERY XMAS. 1) Die Hard. (Perfect action movie.) 2) The Holiday. Here's why: - Eli Wallach as Arthur Abbot. This character is phenomenal and has so much reality written into him. His relationship with Kate Winslet is just beautiful. And his praise of 'gumption' is something we all should reiterate. The women of the 1930s screwball comedies are the women that 2020s aspire to - independent,…

I enjoyed it better the second time I watched it (there was a 6-year gap in between). It shows different kinds of love and I always like a cozy English romance.

I don't understand. Weren't there supposed to be any comedy in the romantic comedy? This focuses way too much on Cameron Diaz's story and not enough on Winslet's which is a better story. What a disappointment!

Required viewing in our home around Christmas. The Holiday is no classic but manages to be a nice holiday comedy. Cameron Diaz is her usual ditzy self and Kate Winslet manages to be very good without any nudity (An accomplishment in itself). But the real star of this movie is Eli Wallach. You'll see what I mean when you watch this surprisingly good movie...

Rom Coms are very low on my watchlist. That doesn't stop me from watching one when someone I'm a fan of is in one. In this case Kate Winslet. This one is as good or bad as they come. They go through the paces checking all the boxes along the way. And at the end, naturally, comes the happy-end. A feel-good-movie. It is way to long, though. Seems like you could make a movie out of either one of the plots and be better of focusing on one instead of…
