The Holiday Reviews
It can be considered a lovely comfort film: the conflicts are not so serious, the performances are charming, the locations are beautiful, the romance is mature but never too explicit, and the comedy is gentle and even innocent. [Full review in Spanish].

The Holiday is still so utterly charming. It's like a warm hug, perfect for any time of the year but especially fitting for Christmas. The cast is stellar and Jude Law as daddy Mr Napkinhead is so swoonworthy my 온라인카지노추천 caught fire.

A really sweet and endearing holiday rom-com

Charming and impeccably scored...

Thoroughly preposterous, utter bourgeois fantasy of a romantic comedy.

Kate Winslet is one of my all-time favorite actresses. She's known for making heavy dramas and period pieces, but I love seeing her in a lighter, more comedic movie...

Not much more than a trans-Atlantic take on the same gloopy matters addressed by Love Actually, but it an effective date movie nonetheless.

While some people might accuse Meyers of sleepwalking in her latest film, The Holiday, it still worked for me thanks to a likable cast and some rather smart dialogue.

A great example of an affable rom-com. [Full Review in Spanish]

You begin to suspect that Meyers isn't actually a movie director at all, but a features coordinator at World of Interiors.

Nancy Meyers pulls off a classic comedy tribute...the cast pull it off, selling their characters' singlehood, nailing their occasional sight gags and earning our laughs and tears, which often occur in the same scene.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 2, 2019
The Holiday is what you want out of a romantic comedy, without expecting the moon.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 2, 2019
Nancy Meyers is a whiz at turning out fun, frothy commercial fare.
| Apr 2, 2019
Grindingly predictable and sickeningly convenient, it's as false as a plastic tree.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 2, 2019
The Holiday is as corny as it gets, but in a cinemascape full of macho grunting and aggressive irony, Meyers is perhaps right to believe that corniness is what women - and their boyfriends - will be wanting...

Isn't it reassuring to know in these troubled times that it's possible for gorgeous rich people to find love?
| Apr 2, 2019
Each scene in The Holiday is more annoying than the last.
| Apr 2, 2019
One of the best date movies I have seen this year.
| Original Score: B+ | Apr 2, 2019
Who cares if the housing-swap conceit makes little to no sense?
| Jan 2, 2019
What makes The Holiday interesting - and worth reexamining more than a decade after its release - is that unlike most holiday-themed movies, it exhorts the viewer to take time for themselves, not just others. It's the ultimate self-care flick.
