A Lighthearted Joyride!

Rating: 9/10 (23 August 2015)

Nancy Meyers's 'The Holiday' is a sweet, cute Romantic-Comedy, that charms you. Its A Lighthearted Joyride, with proficient performances.
'The Holiday' Synopsis: Two women troubled with guy-problems swap homes in each other's countries, where they each meet a local guy and fall in love.
'The Holiday' is funny & heartwarming. I enjoyed the characters & their journey, as different as it is, made me smile. The goings-on are consistently lighthearted & the result overall, is precious.
Meyers's Screenplay is top-notch, with some of the dialogue oozing naturalness. Meyers's Direction, on the other-hand, is effective, as always. Cinematography is picture-perfect. Editing is rightly done. Hans Zimmer's Score is wonderful.
Performance-Wise: Cameron Diaz is in terrific form. She delivers a genuinely lovable performance from start to end. Kate Winslet is splendid, yet again! Jude Law is efficient. Jack Black stands out. He's superb. The Late/Great Eli Wallach lends good support.
On the whole, 'The Holiday' is a winner from Meyers.
