This movie is really cute. I’ve enjoyed it a lot, and I’ve seen it more than once because the first time was a gift to me…and later I had a free movie pass…etc. It’s surprising how fast 2 1/2 hours goes by.
I love the music in the movie, so I went to iTunes where I could listen to a snippet of each song to decide if I wanted to just buy individual songs or the CD.
I ended up getting The Holiday
Even the music makes me happy. I’m only sorry it didn’t include some of the other music in the movie, but I knew that when I bought it. Some were Christmas carols and another was when Kate Winslet and Jack Black sing a duet together.
I haven’t figured out yet if they included the music for the awards ceremony.

FOTD Friday Elizabeth Arden palette + MAC I've had a couple of palettes hanging around that I basically never used. It helps sometimes to analyze why something isn't working.

Karin I love this movie too! My daughter Ana got a “copy” from her boss who goes to China alot for business. I adored the part when Kate Winslet visited her new “home” and was jumping around here and there in delight! I would have been just the same! Only one thing spoilt it for me - I am not at all fond of Jude Law. Otherwise, I think I will buy it when it hits the shops here too.
That was a favorite scene for me too — actually there were a lot of them. My college daughter liked the movie too. I agree there were things I wasn’t so fond about, about Jude Law, but they were minor in the scheme of the movie.
I’ve heard folks say they don’t care for Jack Black usually, but they liked him in this.
I was surprised at how physical both KW and C. Diaz were. I loved the scene where KW dances in the bed.
