Put a Stocking in It

They're pretty, aren't they? Cameron Diaz and Jude Law, as continent-crossed lovers, make the romantic comedy easy on the eyes. But your ears get a workout from the droning dialogue.

8:50 Jude Law is so hot. And just back from St. Bart's, by the look of that veddy un-British tan. (Note to self: TiVo "Alfie.")

8:52 Shouldn't Cameron look a tad hung over after a long night of red wine chased with brandy?

8:55 I wonder if Kate will add this to her American Express commercial. ("At 31, I fired my agent for putting me in a piece of generic entertainment-industrial product with no redeeming artistic value.")

9:00 Cameron's rocking a seriously awesome bob. You can't go wrong with the Modified Julie Christie. (Note to self: Call hair salon in the morning.) Hey, I like that shearling coat.

9:07 Jack Black is so funny. So winning. So utterly wrong for this movie.

9:10 Shouldn't things be wrapping up around now? Why all the water aerobics and Hanukkah partying?

9:11 Hey, I like that car coat.

9:12 Come on, people, let's start bringing this baby home.

9:15 Uh-oh, plot twist with Jude! Cameron caught off guard! Will they make it? Could anyone possibly care? Hey, I like that white coat.

9:20 Is it me, or is the subplot featuring Eli Wallach as a retired screenwriter a thinly veiled attempt to defend generic entertainment-industrial product? Just asking.

9:23 Was that Dustin Hoffman?

9:30 For the love of all that's holy, please stop talking and end this movie. Whoa, there's Jude without his kit! A little post-nooky bed-lounging. Le sigh.

9:35 They're not ending this movie.

9:37 Hey, I like that black-and-white coat. Wait a minute, I liked it the first time. And I'm missing "Gilmore Girls" for this? Please let me go.

9:40 How can Cameron possibly run that fast for that long through snow in those heels?

9:41 Happy ending, lights up, audience cheers and I'm out of here -- I've got to see a man about a bob.

The Holiday (131 minutes, at area theaters) is rated PG-13 for sexual content and some strong profanity.
