The Holiday Reviews
A holiday romcom that does everything I normally hate, but mostly kinda almost pulls it off.
Für mich der romantischte Film mit hervorragender Besetzung und guten Dialogen. Wenn auch vieles vorhersehbar ist, fühle ich mich sehr gut unterhalten. Jedes Jahr zur Weihnachtszeit wieder!
The cast allures you to the movies and makes you genuinely want to watch it but the whole script is too easy, the actors are somehow corny and there is no real feeling behind this movie, it even gets uncomfortable most times. I would not tell anyone to watch this movie.
The creation of a good movie has many characteristics. The holiday Love Story has the Ups & downs of relationships. From the feel good moments, laughter and then the deep feeling of emotional loss. Finding new life and love. One of my go to movies while chilling.
Grossly overrated sickly nonsense. I didn’t care about one character which is poor baring in mind I invested 2 and a half hours of my life watching this tripe.
It's my go-to movie at the holidays. It's entertaining, great casting and acting, and who wouldn't want to be in either place--Surrey and L.A.--at Christmas time. The two little girls in the film are charming.
Heart warming. While some of the acting isn't the best, the story and strength of other characters more than makes up for it. Don't listen to the critic rating!
It’s one of the best Romantic Christmas movies. I lived the cast and just watching Jude Law it’s worth your time.
I accidently saw this movie this weekend. Who in the world thought this was a good movie to make after reading the awful script? A step above a Hallmark movie only because of slightly better acting.
I would describe The Holiday as 'comfort viewing'. Worth watching every 7-10 years around Christmas time, good enough to be enjoyable and almost classic but not a masterpiece. A negative aspect I noticed watching is this time was...I am now just older than all of the main actors at the time of filming. I remember them feeling so much older the first time I watched it! Oh well.
Eli Wallach is just adorable. A heart-warming movie with a positive message about assertiveness and self-afformation.
Charming and delightful Xmas film! Great for the holidays! :)
this surprised me a lot, in the good way! i was expecting a cheesy christmas romcom, and i got that with this one. but i feel like it’s much more. the characters had depth, they were more than pretty faces and the duality between sunny los angeles and freezing london was just perfection! outfits and scenery on point, giving us the best of both worlds in a nice, cozy, holiday movie that must be watched! outstanding acting and a very hot cast as well. t’is a perfect christmas movie from the best decade for iconic films (the 2000s)!!! so good <3
A fun seasonal flick
Good cast and overall a nice story for the holiday time, not overly Christmassy so can watch it before the proper Christmas movies. Could have been shorter and easily cut out the plot line with the children.
It’s absolutely one of the best movies ever made and I say that every time I see it. And I watch A LOT of movies.
MY FAVOURITE MOVIE EVER.
Life will make more sense when youre with the right person. Can you ever truly know someone completely? Maybe not—but when that person treats you right and goes out of their way to make you feel special, nothing else matters. Time, distance, or circumstance cant stand in the way. Thats the kind of love The Holiday explores, and its an absolute joy to watch. The story follows two women who, seeking a fresh start, swap homes for the holidays—one heading to a snowy English village, the other to a sunny LA mansion. What starts as an escape soon turns into something much more meaningful, as they meet unexpected people who show them love, kindness, and the importance of taking chances.The performances are charming and real, capturing the emotions of love, vulnerability, and joy without being overly dramatic. If you enjoy feel-good holiday movies that are cozy, romantic, and full of heart—with just the right touch of happy endings , The Holiday is the perfect pick. Its a reminder that sometimes, love and happiness come when and where you least expect them.
A feel good romantic comedy with a great soundtrack!
