Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
ShangLuda Admirable film.
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
philpriestley Ensemble cast is brought together to basically work a shameless rejig of Love Actually. It doesn't step out of the formula of any romcom you've seen before.Generally - start from this point - it's a genre that is crap unless the dialogue is really sharp. You're dealing with twee sentimentality so something has to make it tolerable. This film lacks any intelligence, it has no edge, there is nothing appealing at all. It is a romcom toilet that indulges every trope. Sadly what is left simply won't flush. There is nothing endearing at all. Perhaps the most irritating part is the transatlantic marketing. It has clearly been written to appeal to the US audiences and the UK audience too. It is hideously false, shallow and clichéd in this regard. I wonder if the American audiences feel as shafted as the UK audience?Every person on this project got paid too much and should be ashamed they participated. Even the studio tea lady. Hideous. Destroy it with fire.
the_russ_show A movie to watch with your girlfriend. Lovely. Great actors
Mandar Nitin Pawar A straightforward fairy tale-like story having no surprising moments, predictable screenplay, worth watching for the acting of Kate Winslet, Jude Law and soulful music by Hans Zimmer. Kate Winslet and Jude Law both steal the show and make you feel the emotions the character is feeling. Kate delivers very brilliant performance while portraying a confused girl, struggling with her emotional conflicts. Hans Zimmer created on of the loveliest theme a romantic-comedy film has ever had. Direction is okay. Memorable for Kate and Jude's characters.
dmitri sokolovski I watched this movie several years ago and this month I got a free trial for Shomi which is a video streaming service like Netflix. As soon as I saw The Holiday was there I wanted to watch it. I didn't remember much, the only thing I remember that was very romantic. I don't really like romantic movies and I don't know how I got to watch it in the first place, but I really liked it. After having watched it the second time, I decided this was going to be my Christmas movie, the movie I will watch every Christmas :)Then I decided to read on IMDb what people thought of it hoping to find at least 7.5 rating for it and was disappointed by negative reviews. It's not a masterpiece, but it's a very nice movie that makes me happy, I watched it second time and it had the same effect as years ago, it leaves with a very warm feeling. Acting is good, I love the music in the movie, how the plot evolves, I love the dialogues - it's almost perfect.
