The Holiday: Film #113 of Film 365

Friday 30th December 2011

Director: Nancy Meyers
Year: 2006
Stars: Jude Law, Kate Winslet, Jack Black, Cameron Diaz

I've seen this before. Back in January 2010, in fact. When I first saw it, I thought it was a pretty standard romantic comedy - as my initial review states. I even started off thinking I wasn't going to enjoy it. Well, things have changed. I've seen bits of it a couple of times since then, and every time I do I end up watching more of it than I mean to. So, when I saw it was on TV again I gave in and decided I was just going to commit to actually watching the whole thing again.

And I'm glad I did. The Holiday has grown on me a lot over the past couple of years, and I'll happily watch it as one of my "Christmas movies" now. I realise I'm probably one of the few people in the world who has grown to love this movie, but I do. And I'm not sorry.

Rating: 4 out of 5

PS Jude Law being in it still helps.

About Me

My photo
I live in Bristol with my husband Dan (who I married in July 2007), my son Joe (born 2012) and daughter Jess (born 2015). I work at UWE (the University of the West of England) in Bristol as a Research and Open Access Librarian. I'm orginally from Exeter, so moving back to Bristol is a bit like coming home - especially as I studied for my undergraduate degree here (also at UWE). I love travelling and movies, although I get to do a lot less of both since the birth of our children. Although we have still managed to fit in holidays to the Isles of Scilly, Chamonix and a summer in California since Joe was born.
