DVD Synopsis

Nancy Meyers' romantic comedy Holiday stars Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet as two women who exchange houses in order to get a new lease on life. After each suffers her fair share of romantic disappointments, Englishwoman Iris (Winslet) and L.A. woman Amanda (Diaz) meet on-line at a website devoted to helping people exchange houses for vacations. Each agrees to spend the Christmas holiday at the other's home. While each suffers from a minor case of culture shock, both women also end up becoming involved with a man. Iris makes the acquaintance of an upbeat everyman played by Jack Black, while Amanda spends time with a handsome Brit played by Jude Law. Both women must decide what to do with these new relationships as their pre-arranged house switch is scheduled to last less than two weeks. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

Such a glorious feel good movie without the typical cliches!
The actors are spot on.

This movie was too long and boring. In other movies these actors know how to act but apparently not in this movie. Cameron Diaz did not seem to know how to relate to the character, and it almost seemed like she was just reading the lines. Kate Winslet was better, but I still could not relate to her character either. I love Jack Black usually, but he tried too hard to be normal and turned out to be creepy. Maybe this movie would have worked if it was an hour shorter and followed one less story line.

So great! I loved this movie- it's the kind of movie you can see over and over without getting sick of it. Truly happy-feel good, without too much romantic crap :)!

This is an instant classic, similar in style and nature to "Hope Floats." This is one that I won't trade.

I got this movie for Christmas. I just watched it and I am happy to say that it was better than I thought it would be. This movie is so funny. I have to say that I think it will become one of the new holiday favorites.

I loved this movie. Even though I really don't enjoy the actors in this movie seperately, when they all were in this movie together it just fit. Two women swap houses for a few weeks. They both learn about themselves and meet others who they bond with. They must decide whether or not they are ready to leave what they found after switching locations.
