Nice and neat concept. The changing of two lives brings happiness and pleasure.

Rating: 7/10 (23 March 2007)

Nancy Meyers does romantic comedy so well and she scores big here, with the comedy of change "The Holiday" the script is so good and neat with Kate Winslet as a British woman in love with the wrong man, and Cameron Diaz finds herself destroyed by an unfaithful boyfriend in L.A.. Now with the age of internet surfing these two depressed women meet online and exchange homes for the Christmas holiday. And a change for the better! As Amanda(Cameron) in snow covered countryside England falls for Iris's(Winslet) brother played by Jude Law and the relationship turns to hot passion and sex that warms up the British snow! And back in sunny L.A. Iris learns the more important things of life aren't material and spirits can be lifted by memories when she befriends a legendary screenwriter Arthur(Wallach) and the hope for love is found with a funny film composer(Jack Black). All this ends with a Christmas to remember as all are happy and joyful! This concept was well it just goes to show that a change of location is so many times for the better and it brings happiness and unexpected love and new friends. Plus fine performances from both Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz.
