If you like schmaltzy sentimentality wrapped up in Christmas paper and packaged as a romantic comedy then this is the film for you.
It
is the tale of two beautiful women, Amanda Woods (Cameron Diaz) and Iris
Simpkins (Kate Winslet),
In
London, Iris Simpkins writes a wedding column in a newspaper and nurtures an
unrequited love for her colleague Jasper Bloom (Rufus Sewell) who is about to
marry another woman.
Across
the globe in Los Angeles, Amanda realizes the man that she lives with has been
unfaithful with the receptionist.
So
both of them find themselves at the end of failed relationships just before
Christmas.
Amanda
decides to take a two week vacation and surfs the internet where she meets
Iris, online through a house exchange website, and Amanda impulsively swaps her
L.A. mansion for Iris' country cottage in Surrey for the holidays.
Shortly
after arriving at their destinations, both women find the last thing either of
them wants or expects: a new romance. Amanda is charmed by Iris' handsome
brother Graham (Jude Law) and Iris, with inspiration provided by legendary
screenwriter Arthur (Eli Wallach), mends her heart when she meets film score
composer Miles (Jack Black).
