So... Jan and I went to see The Holiday (** Satisfactory) at the local megaplex. (The movie poster is a link to the NY Times review.) It was everything the movie trailer promised.

Cameron Diaz and Jude Law are beautiful to watch, and I think Cameron Diaz is funny. Kate Winslet and Jack Black aren't as sparkly as the other two lovers, but they are more likable.
There is a part of the movie in which Eli Wallach plays an aged and retired Hollywood screen play writer. When he's on screen with Kate Winslet, the movie is a pleasure to watch.
You can wait for this one on DVD.
