終於看了期待一整個假期的"The Holiday", 感覺是: "有D流". 相信寫了這麼多篇看電影後感也很少作這樣的開場白.
首先說說選角, 可說是全套電影的一大敗筆之處. 除了Jude Law外, 其餘三位主角對我來說都沒有吸引力. Cameron Diaz及Kate Winslet都老了, 化妝可否下點功夫, 幫兩位大姐一點忙? 那些魚尾紋有點駭人. Kate Winslet整套戲都好像"落樓下買野"的樸素模樣, 問題是, 不是人人都天生麗質可以如此淡掃娥眉便見人. 她的髮型更唔掂, 好像起床後未梳洗過一樣, 除了全片最後一幕她返回英國時才像樣. Jack Black, 他只可以飾演"Shallow Hal"裡那些shallow或詼諧角色, 要襯Kate Winslet, 又有點難為了Kate.
基本上, 整套戲都是Jude Law的個人show, 他出現的每個shot, 都好像是Alfred Dunhill裡的海報, 或許因為本人愛得他要死吧, 他每次出場, 我都近乎叫了出來.
(留意下面此段含劇情內容)
電影橋段沒有新意, home exchange亦不見得帶來什麼驚喜. 除了後來發現Jude Law是個widower兼有兩個年幼女兒, 之後Dustin Hoffman的忽然客串, 及一些好聽的Christmas carols外, 電影令人失望. 此外, 節奏鬆散, 對白沒有新意, 更不要期待有什麼感動落淚的情節, 我寧願看以往Tom Hanks及Meg Ryan那些愛情小品.
如果不是有Jude Law, 基本上不看也沒有損失.

所以我那麼喜歡Dr. Kermode，有他說過我就不用太花時間看一些明知看了不會喜歡的電影了，heeeeee。
他是這麼形容jude law的: teeth, hair, teeth, hair, teeth.. ;P
有沒有一次看個夠？
of course never enough! :) he looks much more handsome than in "alfie"
have you watched eXistenZ? There's so much of him in it!!!
not yet ah!
oh gosh... i melted when i saw jude law in this film. i think the only film of his that i've seen was AI and he looked horrifying (becoz of the character's make-up).
well, the movie wasn't that bad. it's the weekend movie type that you watch curled in a couch. but i totally agree that Diaz and Winslet are getting old. but then, if you find younger actresses, the age won't fit the profile (30+, single, but doesn't want to be single).
lu: yes, i know a lot of people like this movie too. maybe i just had too much expectation of such a holiday movie and was way too disappointed.
after writing on this piece, i saw some very bad comments on this movie too:

I thought of the same thing when it comes to this movie - Jack Black is a comedian, why on earth is he in this movie??? To me he is always the guy form Nacho Libre... I don't feel strongly about Kate Winslet or Cameron Diaz though. Anyway... I didn't watch this one so perhaps I shouldn't comment. But really, the casting really made me think twice before buying the ticket.
