Review of: The Holiday

2/5 (minimum 1)

by tom on 29 May 2007

Imagine Bridget Jones, with two couples and a transatlantic house-swapping plot, but without the funny bits, and that has The Holiday pretty much summed up.

The Jude Law/Cameron Diaz pairing does have some life at least, whilst the Kate Winslet/Jack Black part of the story is totally hollow and unconvincing. It's a film riddled with tedious stereotypes (all Brits have plummy accents and live in quaint cottages) that just about passes the time, but only just.
