To think they all break up in ‘The Holiday’?

[Callmedarcy]

How can either of those long distance relationships last ...

Cameron Diaz and Jude Law were definitely doomed

Cameron diaz’s Job is entirely portable. She moves to the UK and lives happily ever after.

Kate winslet’s future is less clear, but I suspect she moves to LA. Maybe she uses her new industry contacts to become a screenwriter.

Imagine if it was Jessica Hynes, John Cusack, Martin Freeman and Maggie Gyllenhall. That I’d watch.

I can’t bear Martin Freeman, I’m afraid.

Ohhh I'm glad it's not just me, every time we watch it I complain that Jack Black was totally miscast (yes his agent does indeed deserve an award) and annoy the shit out of DH making random suggestions as to who could have played it better. Let's face it, anyone would've been better than Jack Black, he's just so wrong for the role.

I do like that Amanda suffers from an oesophageal spasm at the beginning, I get that and no one's ever heard of it. There is something grotesquely twee about the film though, the dancing at the end makes my toes curl. But I still like it.

Just realised it's showing on Freeview in 12 minutes!

The timeline pissss me off the most.

It’s already nearly Christmas when Iris decides to book her last minute house swap.

In that time she befriends the old man, helps ORGANISE HIM A RECOGNITION CEREMONY, fall for Jack Black and make it home for Christmas. She works fast.

Haha Cookit

The Cameron Diaz timeline is much more reliastic. All she does is shag Jude Law and mope around the cottage a bit. Believable that that could happen over two weeks or less.

I would rather have jack black than Jude law or Martin freeman

A mound of termites is sexier than Jack Black.

I'd rather have it sewn shut and join a cloistered convent than touch Martin Freeman. Ewww.

Yes jack black is sleezy when he tries to be sexy. His smile looks evil too, with those maniac wide eyes.

I love the cottage. I think they all love happily ever after xx

Cottage doesn't exist

Jack Black's "scroodle" nonsense makes me sick in my mouth. Who DOES that!?! And WHY!?!?!

The cottage doesn't exist?????? What???? That's ruined my night 😂😂😂

American kettle.

The cooker and kettle are American. The cottage isn't in the Cotswolds, it's a set.

How come Amanda never made friends with the elderly neighbour but Kate Winslet does within five minutes of being in her house?

Haha @ballsdeep

Cookit - they’re back for NYE not Christmas so a bit longer 😁

The snow in Surrey pissed me off. It snows once or twice a year and lasts about a day.. none of this fairytale powdery white stuff either

New discovery.... Mumsnet hates Jack Black. I'm entirely impartial but then I don't hate my MIL and I'm not worried a trans person is going to abuse my child...... What? Too far?
