A perfect romcom
This is a great romcom for those who already like them. If you're not into romantic comedies it may be a little bit too smaltzy or predictable for you, but I like predictable when it comes to this sort of film. The leads were all very well cast, and I even liked Jude Law in it which is amazing as he's usually a turn off. A very good, pleasantly entertaining film.

The Holiday was PANTS
I love movies and am prepared to watch most....but I had to leave halfway through this one. It was very poor, badly acted, predictable and I wouldnt accept it for free. Dont wast your money. There are plenty of engaging, predictable, romantic, great movies out there, and this will never be one of them. Why oh why dont good or famous actors/actresses read the script first before putting there names to such a pile of c..p.

One Cracking Christmas Film
I cannot recomend this film enough! It's funny, its romanitc and an all round great film. The sound track has something that makes you want to play it all over again. Jude Law, Jack Black and Kate Winslet all gave brilliant performances, Cameron's however, lacked the certain pizaz that she ususally has. But over all, one cracking Christmas film!

Pleasant, but undemanding
This is pleasant and predictable. The lead characters are sympathetic and good looking. The villians are rats and one dimensional. The scenery is easy on the eye and the music appropriate.

There's a few inconsistencies. The female journalist (Winslet) is told to write an article and then goes off to America, the article presumably unwritten. Being able to book leave at the drop of a hat, and with work undone, is never explained. And it is unclear how a single woman with not a high salary can live in such a wonderful cottage. Domestic violence is also approved of, though, of course, only when a woman does it to a man.

The film won't strain your brain or give any shocks at all. It is a sugary romance and for those who like these, there's nothing wrong with that.


I can't make it through
I usually like chick flicks, but this film was just too slow to hold my interest. Plus, it was cringeworthy and awkward to watch. On the whole, I admire Kate Winslet as an actress, but in this film, I just found her very annoying. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone...it gets two stars simply because its aesthetically pleasing...
