“The Holiday”

8.9

Nancy Meyers at the height of her powers… this one cranks the cheesiness up to 11 and doesn’t let up the entire runtime! Jude Law is flawlessly charming, Jack Black gives him a run for his money in this whimsical tale of romance starring across from two of Hollywood’s most beautiful and charming leading ladies, Late Winslet and Cameron Diaz. The subtle nod to the golden age of Hollywood and the intertwining of trailer cuts with the incomparable Don LaFontaine is cinematic perfection! The cherry on top of this over the top sweet film… one of the most underrated of Hans Zimmer’s scores delicately soaring through the story. Highly recommend as a holiday away from the slow movie release week.
