I watched "The Holiday" mostly because I am interested to know what Nancy Meyers wants to say in this new movie. I was impressed by her previous "something's gotta give". To be honest, this new movie doesn't super it, yet with my favorite young actors, it is totally worth watching.

Basically you can know everything about the movie by the trailer, yet the message from the writer was finally delivered by winslet, in my opinion. Cameron is lovely in the movie as usual, yet I love her "in her shoes" better. Jude is fine, but I didn't see anywhere that he can stand out. He just did well, but didn't surprise me. Jack black did much better than that I expected. What can I say? I don't like someone like him to appear in a romantic movie, yet I think it is him that makes this movie lovely, also Eli Wallach, he was great too.

But Nancy Meyers didn't solve the problem when romance meets the reality. I was expecting that she could develop more in the meaning of life and love, yet this one doesn't help at all. It's a fairy tale that you can't see its back coz it's such a fragile dream.

But anyway, if you want to just have a romantic dream, want to relax, or you always fall in love with wrong persons, go to watch this movie. You might learn a little.

I watched this movie on TV twice. It's the first movie I've watched by Patrick Swayze. I was moved by the story and felt myself like that little Tom very much. I couldn't help crying when I saw the ending and told myself I should learn from this movie. And till then I began to understand the meaning of the movie.

It's a good movie for a family to watch together. I think many people can learn from this movie that we should cherish what we already have had in hand. As the saying says, happiness lies in satisfaction.

And it's not a big story, so it may not have got much attention from audience. But still I would say it's a good movie.
