    The Holiday

    by holmon

    The Holiday is a witty, romantic, and humorous film about two women that realize you can have it all. It is truly a story of forgetting your past and finding the most exquisite gift of all- love. The actors create loveable characters with stunning and marvelous performances; along with a fantastic script. At some points, you don?t know whether to laugh or to cry. The score (created by Hans Zimmer) in The Holiday is truly unforgettable and simply delightful. The Holiday will make you want to watch it over and over.
