'The Holiday' DVD Giveaway

Cameron Diaz

Two women that live five thousand miles apart are dealing with the same problem: men! The two come upon a website called 'home exchange' and swap houses for two weeks both with a goal to forget their troubled love lives. But love ends up finding them anyways. I know what your thinking, 'typical chick flick,' but it's so much more than that! I dragged my boyfriend to see the movie and he was ready to fall asleep before the film had even started. But the acting and the script was so great that he seemed more into the movie than I was and he even began recommending it to our friends.

If you're anything like me, you'll fall in love with Cameron Diaz all over again after watching 'The Holiday'...and did I mention how gorgeous Jude Law is in it? If you don’t know what the hell I am talking about because you never got the chance to see the film you’re in luck!

Hollyscoop is giving away one copy of 'The Holiday' along with some popcorn and candy to one lucky reader. All you have to do it leave us comments about what you thought of or heard of about the film. Basically, you're the film critics! We will randomly choose one reader and send out the DVD immediately. Please don’t forget to input your email address.

This is the greatest movie every, definitely one of my favorites. You are absolutely right, Jude Law is absolutely gorgeous in the movie! And the sweetest father ever to his little girls! My favorite part is when Amanda, Graham, Sophie, and Olivia are in their tent and they are talking about the 3 Musketeers and Graham squeezes amanda's hand! I lovelovelove that part! I also loved the part of Artur-he was the sweetest old man ever. And I could really relate to Iris- unrequited life is the worst and I was so happy she finally got over the awful Jasper! I really recommend the holiday to everyone- it should definitely be on your 'must watch' list! email- dmlarkey@bsu.edu

Initially when I heard the premise for this movie, I thought it was going to bad & I don't mean baaad, but not good hahahaha. Boy, was I mistakingly SURPRISED. the Holiday had all the usual elements in a love story but with so many wondeful surprises and many, many moments that tug at your heart strings! Kate Winslet plays the perfect girl who can't get over the wrong guy and you truly feel bad for her because she's the sweetest thing ever! And Cameron Diaz is the perfect match for Jude Law - wow, the chemistry! But my most favorite part of this movie is the little old man (whose name I can't remember) and the unique friendship he built with Kate Winslet's character...awww!

I loved the movie and all my friends said it was the best romanic comedy they've seen in a while!

I loved the movie - it was the perfect chick flick! I am obsessed with Cameron's outfits - she is such a great dresser (on and off screen). And I am sorry - but watching Jude Law for 2 hours isn’t so bad either.

After seeing Cameron in "In Her Shoes", which I loved, I was very excited to see her in "The Holiday". Throw Kate Winslet, Jude Law, and Jack Black into the mix, and we're good to go!! Unfortunately I have not had time to see the film, although I have seen commercials - all of which make the film seem very appealing, both amusing and touching. I would love to see the movie so please pick me!

I have yet to see this movie and I don't know why because I love the actors in it! It would be nice to win!
Posted by: Kristin on 04/04/2007 01:34 PM



I haven't seen the movie. Probably won't see it, unless I happen to win the DVD. In that case, my wife would then want to spend a nice, romantic night at home, curled up on the couch, snuggled up to her honey-bunny while watching the DVD and making romantic cooing sounds. If the honey's not available, I'm relatively certain I'd be next in line to view it with her.

This movie was so cute! I love all the actors in it, and it was very appropriate to the time release

I have not seen this movie but have wanted to see it since it came out. I'm a mother of two and don't get to see many movies at the theatre except "children" movies. I would love to have this film on DVD.

I loved this movie!! It shows how stressful women's life can be especially when men mess with you. The part that I enjoy is when Kate Winslet's character stands up to Jasper! I recently have been in this situation - where I was madly in love with someone who didn't feel the same! It shows how to be a strong woman! I also enjoy the chick-flick/comedy. Jack Black's character is awesome!!! Jude = totally sexy in this movie!!!
Posted by: Jerrie on 04/04/2007 02:43 PM



This movie is amazing! Jude Law is amazing and Jack Black was hilarious, not too over the top. I would love to own the movie. Usually I get annoyed by Cameron Diaz but I actually really liked her in this movie and thought her and Kate Winslet were a great pair of actresses for the film. Not a cheesy chick flick - just an all-around good movie!
Posted by: Dee on 04/04/2007 03:09 PM



From the moment I saw the trailer I knew this movie was for me. I laughed, I cried, I even swooned throughout this heartfelt movie. Cameron Diaz was her normal, fun self, while Jude Law made every girl's heart melt whenever he was on the screen. Kate Winslet charmed, and Jack Black added the comedy, of course... though he was out of his element. All in all, I loved The Holiday, and named it one of my favorite movies of the year :)
Posted by: Elaine on 04/04/2007 03:22 PM



every girl, whether she knows it or not, wants a melody made for her. so even though you were first swooning because of jude law, you ended up feeling alarmingly touched and filled with yearning 'cause all of a sudden round and jolly jack black, with his melody for you..that's what you want! that's what touches your heart. it's so great because i went expecting a too-cheesy movie that i would embarassedly skedaddle from, but i just ended up loving the strange awkward moments and the really really heartwrenching(warming) and relatable character of kate winslet. in summary, i solemnly do pledge that should i win and get this movie, i will watch it faithfully and invite others in the circle to get cheered up with sweetness and loves, and possible dreams!! (plus, you know all of you were suckered into the melody scene too!)

i was never really a big fan of cameron diaz when she was dating justin, but after this movie i couldn't help but fall in love with her! her and jude law left me gushing inside. this actually had to be one of my favorite films. sadly, it makes you believe that true love like that can happen to you. if you haven't seen, you need to!
Posted by: mary beth on 04/04/2007 04:56 PM



I think the movie looks like alot of fun. Now that it's out on DVD I can't wait to see it!
Posted by: Cheryl Free on 04/04/2007 04:59 PM



I have heard it is the perfect romantic comedy. I have not seen it, but would LOVE to!!
Posted by: Traci on 04/04/2007 05:25 PM



I did want to see it but never got to; even if I don't win, I'll probably rent it!
Posted by: Eugenia on 04/04/2007 06:51 PM



I heard from a lot of people that it was a great "girlie" movie. If it's anything like Pride and Predjudice, I'll probably like it.
Posted by: jeffrey Sellen on 04/04/2007 08:22 PM



I have not seen the movie yet though it seems right up my alley! I love romantic comedies (I know, I know...very mundane of me). I am so interested to see what kind of chemistry Kate Winslet and Jack Black have. To me, she is quite polished and mature and he is the farting, obnoxious (though funny) guy. I would love to win the movie!
Posted by: Susan on 04/04/2007 08:51 PM



This is not your Ordinary Chick Flick. That is why I fell In LOVE with this Movie!! The lines in the movie are ridiculasly amazing like when Kate w. says that No matter how many times you change your hair ... and so on it wont change the way you feel. The fact that he had kids makes it crazy and thats cameron jumps out and says lets have sex... I was completly amazed by this movie!! Plus I would not mind owning it haha! <3

This is the most retarded website ever.... u three girls try to be like a celebrity???? dream on b/c you'll never get there.F.Y.I yall all are ugly.
Posted by: jeff on 04/04/2007 11:37 PM



This was a surprisingly sweet movie. I was hesitant to rent it at first, but my curiousity took over, and it ended up paying off. The cast was perfect, and I especially enjoyed seeing Jack Black in a different light. This is a movie that will warm your heart in so many different ways, from the relationship of Iris and Arthur, to the inspirational father/daughter scenes with Graham and his little girls. Throw in the romantic aspects of this movie, and you have a well-scripted love story, showing the true meaning of love between friends, family, and of course lovers. This movie has is all: laughter, tears, and lessons learned. It is a movie for men and women, young and old, and everyone in between. Don't miss out on this movie!

I really didn't think this movie would be that good. I've been treated very badly by men in the past and I could TOTALLY relate to Kate Winslet's character because I FELT and THOUGHT all of those things myself. The self doubt, the desperation, the glimpses of hope, the colossal let-downs and the crushing feeling in your heart when you realize "he" was the biggest mistake you ever made. it really hurts when you realize that you wasted all that time. The good news is that I've learned my lesson, realized my worth and am now with a FANTASTIC man who treats me amazingly well and who I'm very in love with. It an really happen. GREAT, GREAT movie!!!

I went to see this movie with my sisters and it was perfect. We sat back row and munched homemade brownies throughout (which I made with my own fair hands!) Does that get me extra brownie points?! Mwa haa haa! Obvious, but oh so good. I loved Jack Black in this movie, he just kills me - especially with the whole 'boob scuff' thing, comedy genius. Fab movie and the borwnies weren't bad either!!
Posted by: Sel on 04/05/2007 05:56 AM



This movie was awesome! My fiance and I went to see it the day before we flew to my parents for Christmas and we both loved it! It was so sweet and heartwarming. I love Cameron and Kate and of course Jack and Jude!
Posted by: Danielle on 04/05/2007 07:58 AM



This is definately one of the best movies I have seen lately. I LOVED Kate in this movie. She was really funny and cute. Normally, I do not like Cameron, but she was great in the movie also. Funny, touching, smart, this movie has everything. I loved it! A must see!
Posted by: Stacy on 04/05/2007 08:34 AM



I never was a fan of Jude Law but after seeing that movie, I think he's really talented. Kate Winslet is magnificent, as always, Cameron Diaz is like fresh air and Jack Black showed me that he could do something else than movies like 'Nacho Libre' This is really a great movie that will make you forget about the bad day you're having.
Posted by: Jo on 04/05/2007 10:08 AM



I loved this movie, I cried a thousand times, it was that good! I never saw Jude Law act before and seeing him protrayed in the tabloids I was amazed by how well he acts, I loved him in this movie, he made me fall in love with him. It is a great movie no matter how old you are or if your male or female, you can relate either way. I definately recommend this movie to everyone, a great tear jerker. :)
Posted by: Christy on 04/05/2007 05:33 PM



I'm not a big fan of Cameron Diaz or Jude Law, but I loved the movie and thought they really took the role seriously. It was fun to watch. I didn't mind Jack Black playing a non funny guy. Kate Winslet, I always think she's great. Been a fan of hers since Titanic.
Posted by: Magan on 04/06/2007 01:15 PM



I really enjoyed this movie, and already have a copy of it! It's wonderful ~ charming, funny, sweet! And yet, there's also bittersweet sadness that nearly everyone experiences in their lives who have lost loves ~ like Kate Winslet did. If you haven't rented the DVD yet, you should! Jude Law is absolutely wonderful ~ his first romantic comedy & he was great! Thanks for reading, Kelli
Posted by: Kelli on 04/11/2007 01:16 PM



I really enjoyed the movie. The different settings were fabulous with the romantic scenarios. I especially liked Kate Winslet's character as she seemed to have more depth: meeting the hollywood script writer, learning and dsicovering more about herself and acquiring more confidence in facing and adding closure to her unrequited love interest. I was expecting depth to this film that from the surface seemed like another rose colored romantic comedy film. I'd like to add this to my list of feel good comfort movies Mary

Oh I loved this film. Perfect ending and the scenes were so beautiful, I would love to go to England and live in that tiny cottage.
