Conheça Iris e Amanda, duas mulheres que não poderiam ser mais diferentes – uma vive numa aconchegante casa de campo na Inglaterra, a outra numa ostensiva mansão em Hollywood – mas uma coisa elas têm em comum: a tremenda má sorte com homens. Desesperadas em busca de uma saída, as duas se conhecem na internet e, num ato impulsivo, trocam de casas e de país. E encontram a última coisa que podiam esperar – um novo romance – descobrindo que a troca de endereços realmente pode mudar a vida de alguém.
There is a lot I like about this movie. The script is witty and there is good chemistry between the prospective couples, although it takes a while to develop with Amanda and Graham due to their awkward and clunky start. The old guy Arthur and the two children also add to the depth of the story.
My only real issue was their deploying that awkward rom-com device when two characters have sex first and then fall in love. The movie does a fair job of recovering from the lustful beginning, but I can’t help but think there could have been a more creative way to make the relationship awkward and in need of recovery.
But maybe it is just me, overall I liked the movie and, even though I don’t think I will watch it again, it was entertaining.
he Holiday offers a charming and unique romantic premise, though it stretches believability with its unrealistic house-swapping setup and convenient character connections. Despite these flaws, the film builds strong character backstories and emotional growth, making it easy to follow and enjoyable. However, the unresolved issue of long-distance relationships leaves a lingering question by the end.
