The Holiday

Rating: 7.5/10
Genre: Romantic
Overall value for money and time: 7.7/10

Cameron Diaz, Judd Law, Jack Black and Kate Winslet. A star-studded romantic movie that revolves around 2 girls who were out of love and decided to have a home exchange for 2 weeks. Within these 2 weeks, there lives were totally changed. This movie can have 1 word to sum it up - Love. It revolves all around love, the different types of love, the different views, the different scenarios and the different essences of love. If you're a sad romantic, this film is definately for you. If you have given up hope on love, go catch it too. It might just re-spark your love life once more. I personally do not like Jack Black. His roles in Nacho Libre and Tenacious D were quite a turn off. FYI, Nacho libre is worth watching, but Tenacious D... Please stay away from it. Don't say I didn't warn you. Perhaps when I find the time, I will give a better critique of these 2 movies. Let's get back to this heartwarming movie. It's almost like a chicken essence for the heartbroken. Not much comedy in this movie, but the cinematography is close to perfect. It pulls you into the moment, and like the U2 song, and you just can't get out of it!!! Oh did I mention that it's a great holiday movie? Great X'mas holiday movie!!
