Who directed the romantic comedy The Holiday, released in 2006?

Nancy Meyers directed the 2006 romantic comedy The Holiday.

The film follows two women who exchange homes during the Christmas season. Cameron Diaz plays Amanda Woods, an American film-trailer producer, while Kate Winslet plays Iris Simpkins, a British journalist. Each woman meets a new romantic partner after the swap.

Jude Law and Jack Black play the two men connected to the women's new lives. Meyers also wrote the screenplay, building two parallel romances across Los Angeles and a village in Surrey, England.

The Holiday is known for its seasonal setting, its dual-story structure, and its focus on starting over after disappointment. The movie's title refers directly to the home exchange, since "holiday" is the British term commonly used for a vacation.
