The Holiday

USA 2006

Picture and details imdb

Seen 31 Dec 2006

Fun, poignant. Any production with Cameron Diaz or Kate Winslett is worth investigating and having the two of them together in a film is an added bonus. This is a simple story of love lost and found again. The highs and lows of that roller coaster feelings of affection and attraction towards another person is explored. There is also the side story of Kate's character who finds friendship with her neighbour. The camaraderie between the lovers, friends and family comes through during some witty dialogue. I cried a few times during scenes involving Ms Diaz and Jude Law. Some parts were very corny and manages to pull the right strings in me. Good end to 2006.
