Chick Flick Tuesday: The Holiday

Posted By Danielle on December 14th, 2010

Chick Flick Tuesday highlights the best chick flicks in the movie world as well as bringing you news on upcoming chick flick releases as well as letting you all know about which chick lit books are being made into chick flick movies!

The holidays are my absolute favorite time of year and the thought of spending them somewhere covered in snow sounds so romantic. Maybe that’s why I adore the idea of hoping on a plane to travel to the other side of the world where there are cobble stone lined streets, little shops with window shopping, and of course snow. So, knowing this, if you’ve seen the movie The Holiday, you already know I fell in love! This is a movie I could watch over and over again. Normally I’m not a huge Cameron Diaz fan, but her character in this movie is perfect and the other additions of Jack Black, Kate Winslet and Jude Law are the most wonderful combination for a holiday get together. If you haven’t seen this movie, you definitely need to pick it up soon! You won’t regret it!

Two beautiful women, Amanda Woods (Cameron Diaz) and Iris Simpkins (Kate Winslet) both find themselves at the end of failed relationships just before Christmas. Amanda decides to take a two week vacation and surfs the internet. She meets Iris online, and they agree to swap their homes for the holidays. Amanda lives in Los Angles and Iris lives in the countryside of Surrey, England. Even though they now have a change of scenery and want no contact with men, they are both still depressed and lonely. But things are about to change when Iris’ brother Graham (Jude Law) drops by Iris’ house and meets Amanda. On the other side of the world, Iris meets Miles (Jack Black) a film composer. Romance is in the air and sparks are about to fly.
