Iris: I believe it's called "gumption" *slams door on Jasper's face*

For every woman (or soft-hearted man, as the case may be) who has ever gone through an extended, difficult, over the top, heart-rending break-up, gumption is IT.
The Holiday, Nancy Meyer's film about 2 women who swap houses, cars, etc., starts off innocuously – people who are in love, falling out of love, enduring lost loves and, well, going through the throes of unrequited love. Montages of the characters are flashed: Miles (Jack Black) composing a film score, Amanda (Cameron Diaz) wordlessly drying out in the passenger seat as she looks at her boyfriend, Arthur (Eli Wallach) looking forlornly at the faded wedding picture of his wife, and Iris (Kate Winslet), at the office Christmas party, wrapping a present for her ex-beau, who just makes it so difficult to let go.
