The Holiday (2006)
2/10
Snooze Fest!!!
22 April 2007
Warning: Spoilers
I tried and tried to stay awake for this one, but I couldn't. It was just too corny and boring.

Cameron Diaz is lousy actress, Kate Winslet was kind of interesting, and Jack Black wasn't that funny. Jude Law..........never mind. This is the typical romantic comedy without the comedy. It has two women swapping lives because they think their own life is lousy. I can understand that, but what I can't understand is why any normal moviegoer would be interested in sitting through 90 minutes of a movie dealing with that subject.

I must also point out that it was a bit unnecessary (and lame) to see Cameron Diaz talking out loud when she's surfing the internet. Not to mention that Cameron Diaz has a very goofy and annoying laugh. I liked her a lot better when she was in THE MASK.

Kate Winslet wasn't too bad though. Her story was a little interesting. I think the movie might have done better in theaters if it had eliminated all of Diaz and Law's scenes. At least it was better than Miami VICE.

If you ever have trouble sleeping, just rent THE HOLIDAY and your insomnia will be cured.
