Movie Review: The Holiday
Sorry, Chelleybutton. I liked it. I agree that the Cameron Diaz/Jude Law story gets too physical too fast, but then, that's a big part of what makes their relationship so complicated. I also greatly agree that there is too little Kate Winslet/Jack Black. In fact that was one the biggest things I came away from it thinking - too little Jack Black.I agree also that the little old man is way too cute. But then, as we all know, I love little old men. As Didder said just yesterday, they (in general) treat women with respect, and it's so endearing.
The movie so made me want to get away and be someone else for a couple weeks. At the end of it Jack Black says something along the lines of 'let's celebrate being young and full of life.' I've never done that. It's true - youth is wasted on the young. I'm not living at all. I need to go do something (anything!) without worrying about money spent, vacation time spent, or whether or not I'm alone doing it. This is the time of my life when I can do stuff like that. And do I? No! I just keep not living. I'm sick of it.
Okay - I may have digressed there. But overall I thought this was a cute movie, and I'd recommend it to any romantic comedy fan who's not Chelle. :)

and what about john krasinski? isn't he in the movie?
Wow, did I make it sound that bad?? I mostly just didn't like what you said -- too much time spent on Cameron & Jude, not enough on Kate & Jack & the old man. And that the Cameron & Jude story was too far-fetched (but that kind of goes along with the first complaint:)... and I didn't like the guy Kate's character liked at first; I just didn't see what she saw in him. But overall I liked the Kate/Jack/old man stuff -- sheesh! :P
So what wildly spontaneous thing have you decided to do now? ;)
btw, i like how you chose the same picture as i did for my review :)
yeah - i stole it from yours :) thanks!
and oh yes, my john was in it. he was perfect.
and while usually i think 'jude law - ih. i can see where other girls would like him, but he's not for me and he's overrated,' this time i found him charming and he was so dang cute in his glasses.
