The Holiday

The Holiday (2006) — watch online on iFILM — is Nancy Meyers's Christmas romantic comedy from Columbia Pictures and Universal Pictures, starring Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law and Jack Black. The film earned $205 million worldwide on an $85 million budget.

Iris writes a wedding column for a London paper and is quietly devoted to a man who will never love her back. Amanda runs a Los Angeles film-trailer company and has just caught her boyfriend cheating. Neither knows the other exists until they both land on the same home-swap website and trade continents for two weeks. Amanda gets the snow-buried English cottage; Iris gets the California mansion with a screening room. Then Graham — Iris's brother, played by Jude Law — shows up at Amanda's door in the middle of a rainstorm.

Meyers wrote and directed the 136-minute film herself, and the subplot pairing Kate Winslet's Iris with veteran actor Eli Wallach as retired Hollywood screenwriter Arthur Abbott quietly steals every scene it's in. Stream The Holiday (2006) online on iFILM.
