The Holiday is a 2006 American romantic comedy film written, produced and directed by Nancy Meyers. Distributed by Columbia Pictures and Universal Studios, it stars Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet as two lovelorn women from opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean, who temporarily exchange homes to escape heartbreak during the holiday season. Jude Law and Jack Black co-star, with Eli Wallach, Shannyn Sossamon, Edward Burns and Rufus Sewell playing key supporting roles.
Released to mixed or average reviews by critics, the film became a global box office success, grossing $205 million worldwide, mostly from its international run. Diaz garnered an ALMA Award nomination for her performance, while Winslet was nominated for an Irish Film and Television Award the following year. The film itself won the 2007 Teen Choice Award in the Chick Flick category.
The story is about two women who trade homes "only to find that a change of address can change their lives." Amanda Woods (Cameron Diaz) is a workaholic who owns a company that produces movie trailers in Los Angeles. Iris Simpkins (Kate Winslet) is a society column editor for The Daily Telegraph in London.
I told myself,
To set sail on you - This is always the way.
Cause I live my life
With a second smile - And I will always wear it for you.
I will reach for your hand as I walk in the dark,
So take me home, just take me home.
I told myself,
To set sail on you - I will never change.
Cause this little light of mine,
Yes I’m gona let it shine. - Cause I am always screaming for you.
I will reach for your hand as I walk in the dark,
So take me home, just take me home.
Cause I can feel your, yes I can feel your
Good vibrations.
I’d walk the world to surprise you.
Drop everything just to get to you.
And one of the days,
We’re going to be 11 storeys high.
I’d walk the world to surprise you.
Drop everything just to get to you.
And one of these days,
We’re going to be 26 feet high.
And I’ll make damn sure,
I’d make a way with you - Things are always the same.
Cause you pulled the sheet over my eyes,
And I’ve been asleep.,
Just dreaming of the Devils Little Sunshine.
