The Holiday / USA / 2006
The Holiday makes frequent reference to the golden age of screwball comedies (writer-director Nancy Meyers even goes so far as to create a supporting character, played by Eli Wallach, whose career resembles that of the Ben Hecht’s), but displays none of the wit and verve of the films it references. Although the cast is appealing (Kate Winslet gets the rare chance to demonstrate her comedic abilities, and I for one enjoy watching Jude Law simply coast on his charms), the true star of this film is the real estate. As with Meyers’ other movies (which include Something’s Gotta Give and What Women Want), The Holiday resembles not so much a screwball comedy as a live-action version of a spread from Town & Country magazine.
