Two beautiful women, Amanda Woods (Cameron Diaz) and Iris Simpkins (Kate Winslet) both find themselves at the end of failed relationships just before Christmas. Amanda decides to take a two week vacation and surfs the internet. She meets Iris online, and they agree to swap their homes for the holidays. Amanda lives in Los Angles and Iris lives in the countryside of Surrey, England. Even though they now have a change of scenery and want no contact with men, they are both still depressed and lonely. But things are about to change when Iris' brother Graham (Jude Law) drops by Iris' house and meets Amanda. On the other side of the world, Iris meets Miles (Jack Black) a film composer. Romance is in the air and sparks are about to fly.---> it's a good Christmas movie. i mean Christmases are supposedly to make you happy and this movie sure does. hence, it would be a good movie for all ages. it has two sides: cameron's and kate's; both living in different worlds but has the same experience in relationships. thus, wanting to get away and try to find themselves and be happy by switching homes for a period of time (seems unusual as to that scenario but i guess that is common in the USA.) its challenging as to being exposed to a new environment but definitely a good way to start anew.
:::: LINES ::::
ARTHUR ABBOTT: Iris, in the movies we have leading ladies and we have the best friend. You, I can tell, are a leading lady, but for some reason you are behaving like the best friend.
IRIS: You're so right. You're supposed to be the leading lady of your own life, for god's sake! Arthur, I've been going to a therapist for three years, and she's never explained things to me that well. That was brilliant. Brutal, but brilliant.
(---> our lives' outcomes are totally dependable on how we see ourselves, how we act towards others and how we deal with things each and every day.)
