The Holiday

As a pleasant dose of holiday cheer, The Holiday is a lovable love story with all the Christmas trimmings. In the capable hands of writer-director Nancy Meyers (making her first romantic comedy since Something's Gotta Give), it all begins when two successful yet unhappy women connect through a home-swapping website, and decide to trade houses for the Christmas holiday in a mutual effort to forget their man troubles. Iris (Kate Winslet) is a London-based journalist who lives in a picture-postcard cottage in Surrey, and Amanda (Cameron Diaz) owns a movie-trailer production company (leading her to cutely imagine most of her life as a "coming attraction") and lives in a posh mansion in Beverly Hills. Iris is heartbroken from unrequited love with a cad of a colleague (Rufus Sewell), and Amanda has just broken up with her cheating boyfriend (Edward Burns), so their home-swapping offers mutual downtime to reassess their love lives. This being a Nancy Meyers movie (where everything is fabulously decorated and romantic wish-fulfillment is virtually guaranteed), Amanda hooks up with Iris's charming brother Graham (Jude Law), and Iris is unexpectedly smitten with Miles (Jack Black), a super-nice film composer on the downside of a failing relationship. --Jeff Shannon

Love Actually

With no fewer than eight couples vying for our attention, Love Actually is like the Boston Marathon of romantic comedies, and everybody wins. Having mastered the genre as the writer of Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, and Bridget Jones's Diary, it appears that first-time director Richard Curtis is just like his screenplays: He just wants to be loved, and he'll go to absurdly appealing lengths to win our affection. With Love Actually, Curtis orchestrates a minor miracle of romantic choreography, guiding a brilliant cast of stars and newcomers as they careen toward love and holiday cheer in London, among them the Prime Minister (Hugh Grant) who's smitten with his caterer; a widower (Liam Neeson) whose young son nurses the ultimate schoolboy crush; a writer (Colin Firth) who falls for his Portuguese housekeeper; a devoted wife and mother (Emma Thompson) coping with her potentially unfaithful husband (Alan Rickman); and a lovelorn American (Laura Linney) who's desperately attracted to a colleague. There's more--too much more--as Curtis wraps his Christmas gift with enough happy endings to sweeten a dozen other movies. That he pulls it off so entertainingly is undeniably impressive; that he does it so shamelessly suggests that his writing fares better with other, less ingratiating directors. --Jeff Shannon

Synopsis

Double bill of warm romantic comedies featuring a host of British and American talent. Includes Love Actually and The Holiday.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent movie if you stick with it., 21 Dec 2009

By	FAMOUS NAME (UNITED KINGDOM) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

PLEASE NOTE: THIS REVIEW IS FOR 'LOVE ACTUALLY' ONLY:

Viewing the first three quarters of an hour of this movie, one could be forgiven for thinking that this is absolute crap! That was my first impression, having rushed out and bought it upon release - and only because Hugh Grant was in it. (this I never do as a rule, but had done so because it starred Grant - an actor incidentally I did not take to when he shot to fame in 'Four Wedding's' - or that movie either...) However; in my opinion, this film really reaches a turning point which makes it extremely good the moment 'Juliet' (played by Keira Knightley) discovers - quite by chance, that her wedding Photographer is actually in love with her. From then on, this movie really takes off - and for all the right reasons. Had I not paid so much for this DVD upon its release though - I probably would never have reached that point in the movie and thought it a total waste of time... Also, the fact that Hugh Grant doesn't get to play a massive part did not help... However; this has some really big names and all have about the same importance to the movie as each other.

The only thing that got on my nerves was the kid 'Sam' ( played by Thomas 'whatshisame') - and still does so even today. He looks too much like a girl himself to be interested in them! In my opinion he was badly cast for the part.

In summing up; if you can get past the first hour or so, this will probably end up being one of your all-time favourite films, but should you not make it, forever wonder what all the fuss was about!

Great love stories, with casts that read like a who's who of Hollywood. I have much love for the two movies in this set.
