5. The Holiday 戀愛假期

Amanda Woods (Cameron Diaz) with her best friend Miles (Jack Black) owns a company that produces movie trailers. She handles editing while he provides incidental score, and scenes concerning her are occasionally accompanied by narration in the voice of Hal Douglas. Amanda is an extreme workaholic. Iris Simpkins (Kate Winslet) is a society column editor for The Daily Telegraph in London. Both women are suffering from heartache: While Amanda discovers that her live-in boyfriend (Edward Burns) has cheated on her, due to their lackluster relationship, Iris learns that Jasper Bloom (Rufus Sewell), the object of Iris' unrequited love, is engaged after he announces it at the office Christmas party. Seeking an escape, Iris posts an ad for her "quaint cottage in Surrey" on a home-swap website, which Amanda eagerly accepts...

愛麗斯(凱特•溫斯萊特 Kate Winslet飾)住在英國倫敦的鄉村，而阿曼達(卡梅隆•迪亞茲 Cameron Diaz飾)則是洛杉磯的美國麗人。她們在天南地北的兩端，卻遇上了同樣的問題：在感情上遭受了挫敗，令生活灰暗無光。二人在網上聊天，商議在圣誕節到來之前，到對方的環境去生活，交互雙方的住所作為度假場地。于是，一場令人興奮的旅行開始了。愛麗斯來到美國大都市，阿曼達則乘班機前往極具英倫情調的英國鄉村。除了新鮮的生活環境，當地男生的魅力更讓她們猝不及防。
