"Meyers can't sustain a
convincing idea in her
movies..."

Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper |
"This is a romantic comedy
filled with moments we recognize
from other, mostly better,
romantic comedies."

Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips |
"The major characters in The
Holiday all write or edit
for a living, yet nobody in it
has much of a way with words."

E! Online
Matt Stevens |
"The luminous Winslet is the one
actor who infuses this whole
affair with genuine longing."

Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman |
"...I'm sad to report that it's
just a cookie-cutter chick
flick, albeit one made with some
fancy butter and powdered
frosting."

Sean O'Connell |
"...largely entertains, but has
no business being two hours and
15 minutes long."

Kirk Honeycutt |
"A
Yuletide chick flick with plenty
of heart."

New York Post
Lou Lumenick |
"Even though she's a far more
accomplished actress than Diaz,
even Winslet can't sell us on
the idea of Jack Black as a
romantic lead."

New York Times
Manohla Dargis |
"...there are several films
jammed into this one..."

ReelViews
James Berardinelli |
"Sloppy writing, an
overindulgent editor, and poor
casting have taken an intriguing
premise and transformed it into
an uneven mess."

Ruthe Stein |
"...ridiculously long for a
romantic comedy..."

enjoyable."
