Guess Hollywood's Big Hitters needed a little extra Christmas spending money!

Rating: 1/10 (19 December 2006)

I actually left the theatre after the first 45 minutes of The Holiday. I left trying to understand how Hollywood's Big Hitters could take on a movie that bad?? The only conclusion I could arrive at was that the $20 million they make on every other film wasn't enough and they needed a little extra spending cash for Christmas. The writing was horrible, the acting...oh the acting... Cameron Diaz was embarrassing. She was over acting on top of over acting on top of over acting. I know comedic timing is extremely tough. That is why you cast accordingly. Jude Law? His good looks couldn't carry him this time. Acting was poor and his impediment of a drunk was cheap. And Kate Winslet?! Come on sister! Don't accept rubbish like this! Not you. Don't sell out in Hollywood like the rest of them. You're too good! Save your money. Please don't support bad film like this. It's an insult to the audience's intelligence.
