The Holiday

WORTH CONSUMING!

I just saw this movie today and I have to say it is the best movie I’ve seen in a long time. I fell in love with it from the first five minutes. It touched me in the way that love actually did the first, second, and third time I watched it.

It has a kind of crazy premise-two women who are having slightly varying problems with cheating men decide to exchange houses for the holiday. One going to L.A. and one going to a small town outside of London (do people actually do this?) And of course they fall in love but in very different ways.

It was interesting to see Jude Law in this role. I usually associate him as the man from Alfie. Charming but misguided. But in this role he is sensitive and kind, and it suits him.

Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz, and Jack Black give equally good performances but Jude Law steals the shows.

So go see it now.
