After a certain age, people began to have problems, boys or girls staying at home at the weekends and not having anything special. People around us feel unusual. At this age, one should have someone special and begin to throw examples at us about friends, colleagues, and siblings. People can't stand one being single.

When asked one begins to preach his/her philosophy about how peaceful it is to stay at home, being happily single. Some are happily single, stay at home, go somewhere, have pizza, watch the cinema, and all alone.
Also, they are the same person who does not want to listen to their partner's tantrum. They imagine worse thing about relationship and stays single. Their life is their choice. And that's totally fine.



On the other hand, some are sad to be alone in their free time. They might have frightened someone who approached them in their school, or college life. They may now realize that they should have chosen their partner before their colleague got busy with their career, family support or whatever. The sad part is they realized it too late.
Some are voluntary single, and some have no option.

I watched the movie Holidate where a young girl Slone caught her up in a similar situation and she faced comments, criticism, and headache every time whenever there was a family gathering or any other event.

Slone's mother is very worried about her as some of her siblings are engaged and some are happily married.

Holidate is a romantic comedy movie and I couldn't stop myself from laughing throughout the movie.

Slone and Jackson met casually at the mall and after quarrelling for a few minutes they introduced themselves to each other. Throughout the movie, they met again and again at events and eventually find themselves giving each other company to avoid judgement from other people around them.

Every time they met, they had fun and made a mess and they felt the vibe although they agreed not to commit to each other. 

Holidate itself suggests a date on holiday. No need to know each other because nobody is perfect. They even don't want to know each other deeply. Just fun, meet up, and funnier, awkward moments.

Other family members of Slone also have their own nature, tantrums, own irritating behaviours and funny stupid nature.

The movie is straightforward which will make you laugh a lot and also some severe moments will make you think about holidays.

Watch it. You will enjoy it.
