Movies for the Holiday: The Holiday

A chance home exchange (think Airbnb) between two overworked and love sick women, drive them out of their towns in LA and London for holiday vacation in search of solitude and absolutely NO MEN. Iris finds herself in a palatial Hollywood mansion while Amanda navigates the lanes of a picture-perfect English village. But this so called oasis that clearly doesn’t exist makes a recipe for a delightful and heartwarming film. Starring Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, Jack Black, and Eli Wallach. PG-13, 2006, 2h 18m
