Manager: Yes, how may I help you? Me: Can you come look at auditorium number 13? It appears that someone has smeared crap all over the screen! Manager: That's not crap. That's The Holiday.  |  IP: Logged Paul Burt Film Handler Posts: 46 From: San Francisco, CA, United States Registered: Apr 2006 posted 01-07-2007 11:42 AM                     Gotta be one of the worst romantic comedies ever. Every possible cliche well represented. No attempt to be even slightly believable. A good cast wasted. Phooey.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-08-2007 11:09 PM                        I agree it's nothing special storywise, but Jack Black and Cameron Diaz (love the close-ups of her face) made it enjoyable.  |  IP: Logged Ross Oba Expert Film Handler Posts: 181 From: Kailua Kona, HI Registered: Oct 2005 posted 01-09-2007 03:08 AM                     I enjoyed the musical score. Another great Hans Zimmer score.  |  IP: Logged Mark J.

It does have a slight cuteness because all the characters are trying oh so very hard for you to love them that you kind of have to... unless you walk out or fall asleep. Catch this on TV if you feel like you're bored and need a "Awww, love sucks" kind of movie. If you are a fan of any of the actors/actresses maybe rent it on DVD... ahh Jude Law... 1/2 out of 5  |  IP: Logged
