5. The Holiday Review The movie was a romantic comedy. It was about one girl who lives in California and just broke up with her boyfriend. She was in her early twenties. There was another girl who lived in England and was dating for three years and there holiday work day he announces his engagement. Amanda the one in California and Iris the one in England switch houses over Christmas. Amanda meets Iris brother and they fall in love… And Iris meets Jack and they start to date. It was a great movie! Return to the Table of Contents

6. A “Must See” Movie This movie is worth an Academy Award because it is funny, romantic, love, unique, interesting. The characters fall in love but there are some real funny parts, like when Iris teaches and old man to swim and he falls under water. Love is a big part because hearts are broken and sealed back up again. It is unique because I have never seen a movie where people switch places and fall in love again. There is swimming, laughing, walking, eating, finding people. There is a pool where Iris swims and laughs at dinner where they eat and just walk around in town together.
