Movie Review: The Holiday

Pleasant little chick flick. Cameron Diaz is a stressed out Hollywood trailer producer. Kate Winslet is trying to get over the sleezy guy at work who is now engaged to someone else and still hitting on her. She lives in a quaint old cottage in the English countryside and Diaz lives in an LA mansion. They meet online and swap homes for a 2 week vacation. Diaz falls for Jude Law and that ends up being a very fun romance. Winslet meets an old Hollywood screenwriter played by Eli Wallach and an young composer played by Jack Black. That story is not the traditional romance and while interesting, I found it much less compelling. It was fun fluff, well at least one of them was.
