The Holiday (2006) When to watch: Freeform – Dec. 3 & 20 Though it’s hitting a decade-long milestone, this sweet movie doesn’t do enough to showcase Kate Winslet’s talent, but then again, it’s not the most profound film ever made. Winslet stars as a heartbroken Englishwoman who trades homes for Christmas with a stressed-out career gal (Cameron Diaz) in the U.S. In their new residences, they each meet a man who could change their lives. Eli Wallach is a treat to see as a reclusive former screenwriter. Jack Black, Jude Law and Rufus Sewell also star. pg 12 GRACENOTE - 2016 HOLIDAY PREVIEW
