The holiday how does it end

The movie was a hit, and I kept it on my list of good Christmas movies for nine years—until I visited it last December. And I found out it kind of sucks a little bit? The jokes were predictable, the plot contrived, the resolutions unearned. Jude Law's character moved me not at all. I have nothing against male tears—bring them ON, please—but it's not enough to build a character around.

But his greatest enemy proves to be his own pride. Amanda meets Iris' drunken brother Graham Jude Law on the Saturday night, while Iris hits the sheets to sleep off her jet lag.

The next day, Graham and Amanda go for lunch at a country house - their first "proper" date. But, as Graham drops her home, Amanda says the fateful words: "Graham, l'm leaving in nine days.

And l'm not sure I can handle complicated right now. Which makes today December 21, or even earlier. It's also three days after Iris' Christmas party - which means she definitely has the most relaxed paper boss ever. Hanukkah is a movable celebration but, in , it ran from December 15 to So this does make sense.

Back on track guys. Iris pops round to Arthur's to try and persuade the reluctant retired director to do his An Evening With event.
