The Holiday

Monday night, December 23, Sharon and I watched The Holiday on Amazon Prime. Sharon wanted to watch a holiday movie. She got the suggestion for this movie from Caroline Chamber's Christmas Movie Approval Matrix.

The Holiday is a 2006 romantic comedy film written, produced and directed by Nancy Meyers. Co-produced by Bruce A. Block, it was filmed in both California and in England.

It stars Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz. Jude Law and Jack Black were cast as the film's leading men Graham and Miles, with Eli Wallach, Shannyn Sossamon, Edward Burns, and Rufus Sewell playing supporting roles.

Two heartbroken women, an American movie trailer editor and a British journalist, impulsively swap homes for the Christmas holidays in a desperate attempt to escape their romantic woes. While in each other's homes, they unexpectedly encounter charming locals, leading to unexpected and heartwarming romances.

My only comment about the movie is that Jack Black seems very miscast. He is not a leading man.
