Take in This Holiday ***1/2

Rating: 8/10 (17 October 2007)

Wonderful romantic comedy that will remind you of the comedies of the 1940s. Jude Law does a wonderful take-off of Cary Grant, who this picture certainly was made for.
Two women- Hollywood's Cameron Diaz and England's Kate Winslet exchange their homes online for two weeks after experiencing major disappointments in their respective boyfriends. This is probably the best thing that could have happened to them. Both are literally swept off their feet in new endearing love affairs.
This film deals with the ability to be daring and make a change during times of adversity.
As Arthur Abbott, a retired screenwriter of Hollywood's golden years, Eli Wallach etched still another unforgettable character. He is just fabulous in the role as an elderly widower who with his Oscar and other accolades, refuses to be honored by his peers.
This is just a grand film and I certainly recommend it for viewing.
