The latest film by Nancy Meyers (What Women Want, Something's Gotta Give) is a dewy-eyed lark about the romantic possibilities of long-distance house-swapping. After Amanda (Cameron Diaz) in California and Iris (Kate Winslet) in England meet onlineâboth suffering from relationship problemsâthey agree to exchange homes for a couple of weeks vacation, where (not surprisingly) both find new boyfriendsâJude Law and Jack Black, respectively. The problem with The Holiday is not that it's pure hokum squared, but rather that it's incredibly verbose (138 minutes worth, to be exact), without being either witty or charming. The film is also saddled with entirely too many fish-out-of-water sequences for the two female leads, and it's grossly manipulative, shamelessly dragging into the mix two adorable wide-eyed moppets, a scene-stealing dog, and a lovable old man for no compelling reason other than to milk viewer emotions. Not recommended. (F. Swietek) Copyright Video Librarian Reviews 2007.
