Netflix Top 100 - 43. - The Holiday


Another romantic comedy with a twist, but for some reason I didn't hate this movie.  A great cast of Jude Law, Kate Winslett, Cameron Diaz, and Jack Black, I liked this film.  Diaz and Winslett play two fairly unhappy women who have had a series of terrible relationships.  They decide to swap homes for a holiday and to their delight they find romance during each holiday.  This movie is really over the top sweet, but I got over it after a while.  I am a realist so some of the scenes were just too much, like the fact that each woman's home was picture perfect, especially Winslett's cottage in England which look like something out of a Beatrix Potter book. 

Despite the syrupy sweetness, the two male leads are played well by Jude Law and Jack Black, who is understatedly funny in this one, unlike some of his other films.(Nacho Libre) The chemistry is good, and the acting is as well, so I would rent this one if you like romantic comedies, and if you're a dude, rent this one to impress your lady.  Just Queue It!
