The Holiday

We just saw the movie The Holiday. I liked it and it was entertaining. I even got a little teary-eyed. I just read something saying that it was this year's Love Actually, but I don't agree. I loved Love Actually. The flow of the movie was perfect, the multiple characters all intertwined was fantastic, the music made the movie drive forward and gain enthusiasm.

The Holiday was a nice story and the acting was good. However, I felt like the movie was unbalanced. There were basically 2 story lines and the movie focused on one more than the other. There wasn't really a climax and the only "twist" was kind of a minor one.

It sounds like I'm tearing it apart, but I'm not. I enjoyed it, but it was no Love Actually.
