The Holiday - very Christmassy and a great cast

Rating: 8/10 (5 February 2007)

The casting director for the holiday must be very happy with themselves as 'the holiday' has a cast that has the widest demographic appeal. No matter your age or gender you'll find someone from the four main stars to watch. The smart move was adding Jack Black to the cast because it could have been written-off by the male population as a 'chick flick'.
For parts of the film you have to suspend some realities but aside from this the storyline is both interesting and not too sickly sweet.
'The holiday' is an unchallenging, easy-to-watch, romantic comedy and I would recommend to most people. Like red wine, I'd suggest this would be best to watch at home on a cold winters night.
