这部影片的两对主角的设置很容易让人想起２，３年前的CloserCloser里的Julia Roberts, Jude Law, Clive Owen, Natalie Portman，每一个都是能够独挡一面的大牌明星这部影片改编自舞台剧，对白简短犀利，多数场景是1vs1的对手戏，四位主演飙戏非常精彩最终还为Natalie Portman和Clive Owen带来了他们职业生涯的第一个奥斯卡提名这次The Holiday的四位主角Cameron Diaz, Jude Law, Kate Winslet, Jack Black同样都是极具票房号召力除了同时出现在2部电影中的Jude Law，其他3位都作为颁奖人出现在今年的奥斯卡颁奖礼上帅哥Jude Law自从前年被Chris Rock狠狠的奚落了一番之后，至今一蹶不振，再也没有出现在奥斯卡上，看来他东山再起还需时日片中有个非常有趣的镜头Winslet和Jack在逛碟店的时候，说到了"The Graduate"这时候镜头上出现了Dustin Hoffman本人！他喃喃自语道“看来在哪都能碰到啊”这就像是你对着姚明的广告牌指指点点的时候他本人出现在你身后...真是令人忍俊不禁片中Jude Law的两个女儿实在是太可爱了个人认为比网上流传的那对可爱的双胞胎女孩还可爱她们在获得这个和大牌明星合作的机会之前一定是经过了重重选拔的吧片中的那个老人的扮演者是Eli Wallach我查了一下他的资料，居然是"The Good, The Bad and the Ugly"中The Ugly的扮演者当年英姿勃发的牛仔如今已是满脸皱纹，不由得让人慨叹岁月的无情顺便说一句，The good, the bad and the ugly在imdb top 250上已经超越指环王三成为第4名片子是今年奥斯卡终身成就奖获得者Ennio Marricone配乐的，请Clint Eastwood给他颁奖跟这部片子有很大关系这位老人今年已经92岁了，片中他至少有2处倚老卖老的对白，颇为有趣一次是他问Kate是从拿来的，她说了一个地名（具体我忘了）然后他就说，啊，Cary Grant就是那里人Kate问他怎么知道的他说Cary Grant亲自告诉他的Cary Grant是半个多世纪前的著名演员，许多人应该看过他主演的North by northwest他获过2次奥斯卡提名，并在1970年获得奥斯卡终身成就奖第二次他卖的么，那就更老了他说他参与了Casablanca里那句"Here's looking at you, kid"的修改原来的版本是Here's looking at you, Ilsa如果是这样的话，那这将会是一句再普通不过的台词修改后的版本已经成为影史的经典台词，甚至被某权威杂志评为史上100句经典台词的第5位。Jack Black在戏中的职业是电影配乐人自然，他会提到许多配乐人的名字，其中最著名的当数John Williams比起今年拿到奥斯卡终身成就奖的Ennio Marricone，他则要幸运许多了他一共获得二十几次提名，并且拿到了5座小金人随便列几个吧...星战系列，辛德勒名单，夺宝奇兵系列，拯救大兵瑞恩，侏罗纪公园，少数派报告，超人归来，哈利波特系列Cameron Diaz拥有的那座加州别墅，价值数百万最让我流口水的是里边那一整壁橱的DVD，据说仔细点可以发现"Iris"，Kate Winslet本人就是其中的演员，呵呵就这些了，其实仔细看的话电影里好玩的地方蛮多的...

Arthur Abbott: Say a man and a woman both need something to sleep in and both go to the same men's pajama department. The man says to the salesman,"I just need bottoms," and the woman says,"I just need a top." They look at each other and that's the 'meet cute.'Amanda: You know Graham, I just broke up with someone and considering you just showed up and you're insanely good-looking and probably won't remember me anyway... I'm thinking we should have sex... If you want.Graham: Is that a trick question?Graham: I have the classic male problem of no follow through. Absolutely never remember to call after a date - but as this wasn't a date, I guess I'm off the hook.Iris: Because you're hoping you're wrong. And every time she does something that tells you she's no good, you ignore it. And every time she comes through and suprises you, she wins you over, and you lose that argument with yourself, that she's not for you.Miles: Exactly, and on top of that there's the old standby, I can't believe a girl like that would actually be with a guy like me.Miles: Iris, if you were a melody... I used only the good notes.Miles: Don't blow away.Arthur Abbott: Iris, in the movies, we have leading ladies and we have the best friend. You, I can tell, are a leading lady, but for some reason, you're behaving like the best friend.Iris: You're supposed to be the leading lady in your own life, for God's sake!Iris: I've found almost everything ever written about love to be true. Shakespeare said"Journeys end in lovers meeting." What an extraordinary thought. Personally, I have not experienced anything remotely close to that, but I am more than willing to believe Shakespeare had. I suppose I think about love more than anyone really should. I am constantly amazed by its sheer power to alter and define our lives. It was Shakespeare who also said"love is blind". Now that is something I know to be true. For some quite inexplicably, love fades; for others love is simply lost. But then of course love can also be found, even if just for the night. And then, there's another kind of love: the cruelest kind. The one that almost kills its victims. Its called unrequited love. Of that I am an expert. Most love stories are about people who fall in love with each other. But what about the rest of us? What about our stories, those of us who fall in love alone? We are the victims of the one sided affair. We are the cursed of the loved ones. We are the unloved ones, the walking wounded. The handicapped without the advantage of a great parking space! Yes, you are looking at one such individual. And I have willingly loved that man for over three miserable years! The absolute worst years of my life! The worst Christmas', the worst Birthday's, New Years Eve's brought in by tears and valium. These years that I have been in love have been the darkest days of my life. All because I've been cursed by being in love with a man who does not and will not love me back. Oh god, just the sight of him! Heart pounding! Throat thickening! Absolutely can't swallow! All the usual symptoms.Iris: It doesn't matter how many new haircuts you get, or gyms you join, or how many glasses of chardonnay you drink with your girlfriends... you still go to bed every night going over every detail and wonder what you did wrong or how you could have misunderstood. and how in the hell for that brief moment you could think that you were that happy. And sometimes you can even convince yourself that he'll see the light and show up at your door. And after all that, however long all that may be, you'll go somewhere new. and you'll meet people who make you feel worthwhile again. And little peices of your soul will finally come back. And all that fuzzy stuff, those years of your life that you wasted, that will eventually begin to fade.

豆瓣7.8分，超百万人评价，MTV电影奖最佳吻戏提名——这些数字足以说明《恋爱假期》在观众心中的位置。然而，当我再次重温这部南希·迈耶斯执导的圣诞爱情喜剧时，却感到一种挥之不去的审美疲劳。没错，它很治愈，凯特·温斯莱特在雪夜哭泣的镜头足以融化任何一颗冰冷的心；但治愈的背后，是编剧对“换房遇真爱”这一核心设定的过度依赖。迈耶斯显然很擅长营造温馨氛围：英伦乡村的雪景、洛杉矶的阳光、壁炉旁的对话、圣诞树下的吻——这些都是标准配置，就像圣诞大餐里的火鸡，每年都要吃，但吃多了也腻。影片的问题不在于它老套，而在于它把套路当成了全部。爱丽斯（凯特·温斯莱特饰）与米尔斯（杰克·布莱克饰）的感情线本该充满戏剧性，结果却变成了两个“善良的好人”互相安慰的平淡流水账。专业评价中提到的“两位女主角的情感线设计显得拖沓”一针见血：阿曼达（卡梅隆·迪亚兹饰）和格雷厄姆（裘德·洛饰）的进展快得像开了八倍速，但缺乏真正的情感碰撞——他们只是恰好长得好看，恰好寂寞，恰好住进同一栋房子。更让我在意的是，影片的“治愈”其实是一种廉价的情感按摩。它告诉观众：只要换个环境，你就能遇到完美的爱情，所有伤痛都会消失。现实中，失恋的人飞到异国他乡更可能迎来孤独崩溃，而不是一场艳遇。迈耶斯的童话固然美好，却逃避了爱情中最真实的部分——成长、妥协与痛苦。也许这就是为什么有些观众觉得“故事整体偏平淡，冲突不足”：因为冲突被刻意抹去了，所有角色都善良得毫无棱角，连那个辜负爱丽斯的男友都只是“坏得不够彻底”。但裘德·洛的颜值确实能打，他和迪亚兹的化学反应让荧幕都在发光。杰克·布莱克自带的憨厚幽默也让“配乐师”这个角色变得可爱，如果你只是想找个温暖的电影裹着毯子看完，《恋爱假期》依然是不错的选择。只是别指望它有真正的深度——它更像一杯加了太多糖的热可可，甜得有些发腻。
