FILM: The Holiday (2006) by Nancy Meyers

Miles: "The wind... it's what makes it so warm this time of year. Legend has it, when the Santa Anas blow, anything can happen.
...Don't Blow Away."



The holiday is a romantic comedy like no other, not only do you laugh and cry but you fall in love with love all over again. Is for all of those hopeless romantic out there that have experienced unrequited love, and also for all of those people out there that somehow think they're unable to find love again or fully love someone all together.

The twist of finding love and happiness when all you're looking for is isolation and forgetfulness, tell us that love is that which happens when you least expect it..., but only when you are looking for your true self and are at peace with it.

The witty comedy lines that each character brings to the story works perfectly balanced with the their natural beauty and sex appeal... even for Jack Black (Miles) this was but a perfect step to show a more emotional, and less jerk of a comedy side.

It's great to see the balance that each character brings to the table. The writer makes a perfect symmetry between them all when Graham & Iris (Jude Law & Kate Winslet) have the emotional soft side, and Miles & Amanda (Jack Black and Cameron Diaz) bring the funny romantic side... and mixing them all.

I've watched this movie too many times to actually count and everytime I get the same excitement and sentimentalism. Be sure to have a glass of wine with you, and perhaps some chocolate...
