Mighty Girl on “The Holiday”
Mighty Girl on “The Holiday” - I reproduce Mighty Girl’s key point here, not to dilute her words, but to inspire you to click on to her excellent blog (which, incidentally, has the best tagline I’ve ever read).
My issue isn’t that Jack Black isn’t a cutie pie, just that I can’t remember the last time I saw a movie where the girl wins a stunning guy on the basis of her awesomeness. In the few examples I can think of, the guy overcoming a woman’s lack of conventional hotness is a central plot point. In movies, awesomeness only seems to really count if you’re a boy, and that makes me want to punch something.
