The Holiday
Two women, Iris (Kate Winslet) in England and Amanda (Cameron Diaz) in LA, swap houses for 2 weeks to escape the unfaithful men in their lives. However, they unexpectedly become entangled in new relationships with Graham (Jude Law) and Miles (Jack Black). Diaz and Black are good, but Winslet and Law are fabulous. Eli Wallach and 2 charming girls are highlights among the supporting cast. If you are a romantic at heart, you’ll love this movie about love lost and love found. You’ll laugh and you’ll cry, but mostly you’ll laugh. This well written script is cliché at times, but it is still a lot of fun and full of delightful surprises including a funny cameo. It is the best romantic comedy that Alien has seen in a long time. Is it a chick flick? Of course, but it is a good one.
Alien gives it 3 ½ “meet cute” stars out of 4.

hard to imagine Jack Black being good in this movie, which casting guy thought "Hey Jack black would be perfect for this role"

actually, I believe Nancy Meyer, the movie's writer, created each of the 4 main characters based on Kate Winslet, Jude Law, Cameron Diaz, and Jack Black. Then she got them to sign on to the project.
