The Holiday

There is something very soothing about going to see a good chick flick with a bag of popcorn and M&M's (my personal guilty pleasure) and "The Holiday" definately delivered. While it's not the best movie I've seen, a few soul shattering shots of Jude Law and the sappy enough storyline left me in a mushy heap with not a few tears unshed.

The magic of romantic comedies is that they show you a world in which people are inherently good and where you can be loved for your quirks. Anyone who's been in the dating world knows that it's easier to form self-protecting generalizations about the opposite sex than to lay yourself bare to a stranger. Yet, to believe these movies, it's precisely what we find unfit about ourselves that should attract the perfect mate.
