I feel like I'm the only one...


..that doesn't have an issue with this movie!!!!

I love everything about this movie. The characters, the cast, the plot, the setting, etc!

I think they picked the perfect people to play their characters and what's even better is that they wrote the characters with these actors in mind. The plot is unique but great. What other movie is like this? Yes, it's a romcom and it has it's sappy moments but what romcom doesn't?

I think it's a very classy movie and I always love watching it. The soundtrack is lovely too :)

Haileybrae05... I can... WITHOUT A DOUBT... Say you are Definitely NOT the only person who doesn't find fault with THE HOLIDAY!!!!!!!!! It is one of my FAVORITE movies... EVER!!!!!!! It's one of those that, no matter where it is in the movie when I come upon it, I ALWAYS click over to it!!!!!! If I'm feeling a bit down, it's one of my go to pick me up movies!!!!!!! I smile, laugh & cry a little... But ALWAYS feel better when it's over!!! And... Truth be told... I've been known to hit replay a time or two!!!!!!
Also, the world lost a TRULY TALENTED actor when Eli Wallach past nearly 2 yrs ago!!!!! They aren't making many like him these days!!!!! OK... I'll stop rambling now.
p.s. Never... EVER... Apologize for liking or loving a movie or actor!!!!! It takes ALL KINDS, with different tastes, which explains why there are so many different
genres!!!!! Enjoy all the RomComs your heart desires!!!!!!!!

You are certainly not alone...over the last 10 years this has been out, it has truly gotten me thru some rough times.

If anybody takes issue with that, I say to each their own. ;-)

Ha yeah for me personally, I found the Iris-Jasper thing really well done/true to life, especially the beginning and the monologue she gives to Miles about it later...and there is some comfort seeing it on screen, another character go through it and...right. So it's given me comfort, too.

I like this movie a lot!

I love everything about the film. All of it, despite some others picking at its flaws, I thought was beautifully told. I just have one tiny pick at the film?the ending. I hate endings such as those, that gave no sense of closure. Just very abrupt and left too many doors open. Maybe that's Nancy's intention
