The Holiday (2006)Thursday, October 18th, 2007 |

The Bottom LineThere haven’t been that many decent romantic comedies with a holiday theme in recent years, so when one comes along that’s adorable, entertaining, and requires absolutely no brain power to enjoy, it’s tough to pass it up. Directed by Nancy Meyers, The Holiday’s a star-studded holiday treat, although it’s not without its drawbacks. There’s a repetitive feel to the middle section and the set-up is highly improbable, but there’s enough fun and frolic to make The Holiday a good choice for romantic comedy fans looking for an alternative to the Oscar-caliber dramas and other more serious end of the year fare. |
