Amanda and Iris (Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet) agree to change homes over Christmas; in Surrey, England Amanda runs into the charming Graham (Jude Law), and in L.A. Iris socializes with the Hollywood community. Nancy Meyersās romantic comedies are usually overlong and feature at least one out-of-place slapstick sceneā¦ but she knows how to make them warm and romantic in an irresistible Hollywood way. The two female stars are radiant and overcome the flaws of this simple script. Meyers focuses a lot on aging in Hollywood, which is interesting, but a topic that might have needed its own movie.
