Worst Movie of 2006

I saw it last week, but it was released officially in December, and appropriately, it was called "The Holiday". I watched it because it was at a convenient time and place, and, to be honest, because I was too lazy to wait for another movie or go to another theatre. But that's no excuse. Shame on me.

Boy, what a dumb movie. Not enjoyably dumb like, say, Anchorman or The Grudge. No, this was throw-a-shoe-at-the-screen demand-your-money-back bad. No one saves the day, not even Kate Winslet.

Jude Law, what happened to you? You used to be cool in Gattaca, Road to Perdition and The Talented Mr. Ripley. Even Artificial Intelligence. Now, all you do is weep. And suffer. You are a wimp. I thought that was going to stop as soon as Sienna Miller took you back. But no, I was wrong and Chris Rock was right.

Cameron Diaz, no wonder why Mr. SexyBack left you. You are a pain in the ass. You spoiled Mr. Brightside for me. The last time I suffered this much watching somebody on the screen was in Charlie's Angels. Coincidence? Don't think so. I have to admit it, I (as 99% of the male population) couldn't resist you nine years ago when you asked Ben Stiller "Do you want to go upstairs and watch Sportscenter?". The perfect woman. But your superficiality is not charming anymore. Just plain annoying. Besides, it's been 9 years and you haven't learned to act yet.

Please, avoid this movie, except if you are a 15 year old girl from a catholic, non-Japanese, school.
