THE HOLIDAY (2006) MOVIE REACTION!

[@zbennalley]

"Iris, if you were a melody. I used only the good notes." The longing in Jack Black's eyes when he looks at her and plays makes me want to see him play a dramatic role.

[@williamkerner3758]

I really love Jack Black in this movie. He always plays crazy characters, but in this he's just a nice guy who is kind of funny. And he does it really well. But I also love this film. Great for the holidays.

[@williambowman2326]

Wonderful choice and reaction. I have never figured out why this movie doesn’t have more accolades and larger audience. So many people I have talked to have not seen or heard about this gem. It’s smart, sentimental, well written, solid cast … etc. Glad you enjoyed

[@MadisonKThames]

Thank you!🙏🏻

[@karlstanc4444]

I Love this Movie! The plot, the characters, the Cast, the Locations and Sets. Guess what?! When I was in England, I went to Iris’s village - Shere! I walked the streets, the paths Amanda waled and run. I found the location where Iris’s cottage was! I enjoyed the Cream Tea in that cosy Pub! Yes! It was Something!!!

[@littleogeechee223]

I love this film so much, too! One of my all-time favorites I usually watch it every Holiday season.

[@susanliltz3875]

Love how you thanked your mom for continuing to mention this movie and putting it on the poll !! What else has your mom been wanting you to watch??? She’s got good taste in movies!! Merry Christmas to you too!!!🎄

[@barryhickman6911]

i L O V E this movie! Terrific reaction by you as well! We watch this movie as one of our holiday favorites every Christmas! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@datisalaee4693]

I think I cried as many times as you did if not a couple times more. It's been Ages since I've seen this movie and apparently I didn't remember much except the oveall concept. Great reaction Madison. You Rocked it ^_^ Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

[@dai701]

Nancy Meyers who both wrote and directed this film is such a genius, so very impressive! This is a special film on every level and will be cherished for many many years to come. All participants at their peak, a hidden gem for the future to discover with a knowing inward smile.

[@71lizgoeshardt]

I love this movie so much. It IS the perfect holiday, Christmas rom-com. And your reaction was a joy. Thank you!

[@MadisonKThames]

Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it!😊🙏🏻

[@vermithax]

Oh, Madison. You have so much going on and, Like Kate in this movie, you are going to find your one (if you haven't already!). Thanks for your reaction to this little gem -- I don't think many reactors have done it!

[@cog4life]

Idk why they haven’t either. 😊😊

[@Elephant2024]

'Love Actually' is another UK set, holiday themed rom-com you might like to watch.❤

[@docsavage8640]

Truly awful movie with every character reprehensible yet we're supposed to pretend it's charming 😆

[@meggsy82]

​@docsavage8640 I used to enjoy it so much then I got older and realized how messed up a lot of those relationships were. Oddly, the least problematic couple is the one who meets as stand ins on (what I assume to be) an adult film set 😂.

[@harmshoney]

truly one of the best holiday movies 🥲 so sweet!! i'm giddy the entire time. & yeah i cry like 7 times too lol! glad i found your channel! ✨

[@MrYoup11]

You should do a poll of your Mother's favorite movies that you haven't seen.

[@stevetanner3019]

One of the mosty underrated Christmas movies.

[@chunksaflyin]

I am so glad you got to see one of my favorite movies. I'm a old hopeless romantic and this movie is perfect. Always love your reactions. Keep up the great work, stay safe and Happy Holidays.

[@lukenshazard127]

Great reaction Madison. Your reaction was as enjoyable as the movie 😊

[@MadisonKThames]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@susanliltz3875]

“In Her Shoes” is another good one with Cameron Dias and Toni Collete and Shirley McClaine !

[@heathercraig8902]

I was about to suggest the same movie :)

[@BiddyBiccy]

Yes I second this suggestion. Cameron Diaz is so good in it, a more serious role for her, and Toni Collette is great in everything she does.

[@jennysanders5804]

Oh yes! This is such an underrated gem.

[@cog4life]

One of THE best holiday movies! I love it and always watch it!! Thanks for the great reaction! Merry Christmas!! 🎄 😊

[@MadisonKThames]

So glad you enjoyed it! Merry Christmas!🎁

[@barbaraguitas8992]

One of my favorite holiday movies!

[@Elephant2024]

The UK part of the film was partially shot in Godalming & Shere, a town & village in the county of Surrey in South East England that dates all the way back to the 11th century!

[@docsavage8640]

Smells like it, too

[@marcfromparis333]

"Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind" is a fantastic movie with Kate Winslet and Jim Carrey.

[@aklimar2208]

Only if you’re in the mood for a little weird

[@emdeeeff]

To me, the best part is knowing that Tuco managed to get out of that cemetary, turn his life around, and build a whole new career. Take that, Blondie!

[@BiddyBiccy]

Blondie did pretty well for himself too!

[@skyhawksailor8736]

My Wife hated this movie when we first saw it. A year or so later one of the movie channels was playing this movie and I decided to record it. When I went to watch the movie, My Wife decided to watch it with me and fell in Love with it. We now watch it every Christmas season and my Wife always wonders why she hated the movie so much the first time she watched it.

[@serendavies7375]

Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year, Madison!

[@bghoody5665]

Great reaction, Madison. Cameron Diaz has been in a few movies but her most popular are probably There's Something About Mary, The Mask (her first movie iirc) and as the voice of Princess Fiona in Shrek.

[@serendavies7375]

Your hair is so beautiful, Madison 🥰

[@marcfromparis333]

And merry Christmas, from Paris.

[@BiddyBiccy]

For more Cameron Diaz, I highly recommend "In Her Shoes" which is a more serious role. She's been in lots of comedies and romcoms too, my fave is probably "Knight and Day"

[@rowenatulley852]

What Happens in Vegas is pretty good too . . .

[@emadSciFi]

wishing you a merry christmas!!🤠

[@MoMoMyPup10]

It's one of those perfect movies if you're into that genre. Perfect cast and just a fun watch.

[@stellaandes759]

This is a good one.

[@aklimar2208]

This and Romancing the Stone are maybe my favorite Madison reactions.

[@Croweyes1121]

Hope everyone enjoyed tonight!!!

[@buddycampbell9096]

Madison, definitely check out Cameron Diaz in There’s Something About Mary

[@rowenatulley852]

I LOVE this movie!

[@josephmayo3253]

Such a sweet movie. Nice reaction Maddie. The actor whose name you didn't know was Rufus Sewell. A great movie he was in that you might not know is Cold Comfort Farm. I highly recommend it. It's sweet, charming, and amusing. It's another city girl in the English countryside. Kate Beckinsale is phenomenal in it. A Kate Winslet movie you should try is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. She plays very much against type. Go into that one as unspoiled as you can, and let it unfold for you. The big Cameron Diaz movie is There's Something About Mary. Save that for when you need a mindless laugh. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

[@earlofbroadst]

The guy Kate Winslet is in love with at the start of the movie is Rufus Sewell. Among other things, he was in Amazing Grace, Victoria, and the Man in the High Castle.

[@Angelicwings1]

Jack Black in this showed some other sides of himself. I really loved seeing it

[@francisredmond2801]

Can't wait😊

[@MoMoMyPup10]

Two Diaz movies that I think you'll love are "Knight and Day" with Tom Cruise, and "My Sister's Keeper" with Alec Baldwin and Abigail Breslin. One Rom-Com and one Drama. Not highly notable but it's weird how that works sometimes.

[@biancataylor1986]

There’s something about Mary

[@couch.patati-patata]

Rufus Sewell, you should watch him in Dark City. Has Jennifer Connolly.

[@sherigrow6480]

For anti-dreamy Jude Law, The Road to Perdition is tremendous, almost a noire film. Rufus Sewell can currently be seen in The Diplomat, a series,

[@frankb3551]

Rufus Sewell was in "A Knight's Tale".

[@FeaturingRob]

The Holiday is one of the few movies I watch every Christmas. The list is pretty short: White Christmas with Bing Crosby, The Holiday, Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, Love Actually, and the newest addition to the list of Last Christmas with Emilia Clarke, Henry Golding, Michelle Yeoh, and Emma Thompson (who also co-wrote the screenplay), which takes its name from the classic WHAM! song. Regarding Cameron Diaz, some of my favorites are My Best Friend's Wedding, Charlie's Angels 1 & 2, Vanilla Sky, the Shrek movies (voicing Princess Fiona), and She's The One. She's The One was a film directed by Edward Burns (who played Amanda's boyfriend Ethan in the beginning of The Holiday), and was a lower budget rom-com. It was Burns's first film after the success of his Sundance darling The Brothers McMullan. She's the One also starred Jennifer Aniston, who was just at the beginning of her Friends run, and the late John Mahoney (Martin Crane from the sitcom Frasier).

[@scapevelocity]

The Mask was Cameron Diaz's first movie, I believe. It's a whole lot of fun.

[@aldorodarte4816]

You know what movie I would recommend as well even though technically it is a Christmas movie well to me last holiday which by the way, it’s a really good movie as well and it came out the same year as the holiday and it’s with Queen Latifah. It’s a really good movie. I also like the holiday as well. My mom watches it constantly we have watched the holiday around like 15 times so I know the story by heart. 😂❤

[@robertworrell6287]

I have really enjoyed your show. Easy to see how you are a great story teller.Try 1960's James Bond movie or Some Like It Hot.

[@howardadamkramer]

Love this movie. I want to go to that Hanukkah party!

[@notjustforhackers4252]

I think I better watch this one quickly before the copyright war kicks in😀

[@PatrickPrejusa]

RIP ELI WALLACH

[@rickc661]

kinda silly , but I always liked it - actually have the DVD. also. 4 weddings & a funeral . ' Cats and dogs'. I really like. 'kissing Jessica Stein' which is a bit , tiny bit different.

[@MrYoup11]

You haven't watched Cameron Diaz in "Something about Madison", oops, I meant Mary.

[@cog4life]

38:33 Jude Law was fine in this movie. lol 😊

[@rogergonzalez9599]

You can watch a great movie from Cameron Diaz, My sister’s keeper

[@docsavage8640]

What sets this film apart is none of the 4 main characters behaves as a total ass for no reason which is SOP for most romantic comedies.

[@wallyllama2926]

I’m not really a Jude Law girl either and yes in this movie he is so fine

[@МарияГалушко-ш1ц]

OK, if you haven't seen "While You Were Sleeping" with Sandra Bullock, YOU HAVE TO! It's my other favorite Christmas movie, and I bet you'd like it.
