loved it!

Rating: 10/10 (11 December 2006)

The Holiday has many levels -- humor, character development, relationships, fun, and meaning. I enjoyed every minute of it. I think it is as good (or even better) as the classic romantic comedies such as "You've Got Mail" or "Sleepless in Seattle." It resonates on more than one level of entertainment for a romantic comedy-- it's fun, yet it has meaning and character development, a good story, well done. Kate Winslet's character was thoroughly likable. Her performance had warmth and personality-- a genuineness that engages the viewer and gives the film it's depth. Jack Black surprised me -- he matched Kate in being likable, genuine. And Jude Law nailed it on everything he was supposed to be-- he was sexy and more. I would have cast a different person in Cameron Diaz's role. Other than that-- great to watch. The Holiday delivers two romantic comedies wrapped into one.
