In Nancy Meyers' THE HOLIDAY, a romantic comedy from the director of SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE and WHAT WOMEN WANT, two women trade homes only to find that a change of address can change their lives. Iris (Winslet) is in love with a man who is about to marry another woman. Across the globe, Amanda (Diaz), realizes the man she lives with has been unfaithful. Two women who have never met and live 6000 miles apart find themselves in the exact same place. They meet online at a home exchange website and impulsively switch homes for the holiday. Iris moves into Amanda's L.A. house in sunny California as Amanda arrives in the snow covered English countryside. Shortly after arriving at their destinations, both women find the last thing either wants or expects: a new romance. Amanda is charmed by Iris' handsome brother Graham (Law) and Iris, with inspiration provided by legendary screenwriter Arthur (Wallach), mends her heart when she meets film composer Miles (Black).
"An entertaining romp that succeeds on a level of pure escapism." -- David Nusair, REEL FILM REVIEWS

Comments
This movie disappointed me. Despite Holiday's promising cast (Kate Winslet, Jack Black), it was painfully predictable from the start. I was SO READY to join Kate Winslet on a fancy Los Angeles getaway, or escape to a snowy English cottage with Cameron Diaz, but instead I found myself bored with its all-too-familiar material.
