I thought this was a cute film. The premise was good, the cast was good, and the setting was awesome. However, I thought the story line wasn't balanced enough. For anyone familiar with the story line you know that two women switch houses for their vacation, and they end up falling in love with a guy at the vacation spot. It's unbalanced because more time is spent on the romanace with Cameron Diaz than with Kate Winslet. I guess it makes sense in the story line because it was more about the physical attraction between Cameron Diaz and Judd Law, than with Kate Winslet and Jack Black.
I found myself paying a lot of attention to the jewelery that both Cameron and Kate were wearing. There was simple, yet elegant pieces. Since I recently got my ears pierced I pay more attention to earings that other ladies wear. Also the necklaces were really cool that they wore in the film. They were mostly long necklaces and also simple and elegant so they matched the earings they wore. Both actresses wore the jewelery effortlessly and it really added to the tone of the film, I feel.
Judd Law and Jack Black were also cute in this film. I thought it was good that their romance stories were also brought to light, but it was a good decision to never make the film too sad or depressing when the characters were discussing how their last relationship ended.
This film reminds me of Love Actually which is also British (The Holiday I guess is half British), except The Holiday is only with two overlapping romances while Love Actually has many relationships going on. I guess The Holiday can be seen as an echo film to try and capture the same audience that was won over by Love Actually.
