the holiday - or why to pack 5 different winter coats for a two-weeks trip

Rating: 9/10 (10 January 2007)

first of all: it was a really nice feel-good movie, heart warming and hilarious. the story is about 2 women - disappointed from their last relationships - who switch houses for 2 weeks over Christmas. and, of course, they find a new love in the strange country.
what i liked were the tons of funny dialogues between the main characters and the atmosphere of the movie. and i loved the surprising cameos which were cleverly integrated into the story. also the acting was fresh and natural. however i was a bit disappointed by the ending, which came rather abrupt and did not really finish the story. especially compared to the explicit cinematic narrative during the whole movie.
despite some really silly points (i'm not gonna talk about the at least 5 different winter coats or the car that's in the beginning not able to drive up to the cottage and later it's standing in front of it), it's a movie that's definitely worth seeing and it will leave a happy, cosy and warm feeling.
