I think this is a light comedy romance drama. Lacking romance is more like it. But it's what you get when you have American and English cast.... I still love the British accents from British actors. Yes ladies.....Jude Law is a hottie....thanks to my shoulder the girlfriend managed to wipe her drool with.
As the title already suggest it's a holiday kinda movie....Christmas and New Year. Not that I don't fancy it but I think we have seen too many movies with this setting. Anyhow, take the holiday thing out of the equation and you have a good movie for the whole family to enjoy.
2 women living in 2 separate countries and very different lives between them. With the help of the Yaaa-haaaa-hooo Internet they thought why not swap houses for the holidays for very depressing reasons. So one goes here and the other goes there....simple.
The story is not that complex....but it's a bit too easy for my liking. Kate does the British woman reporter some justice while Diaz acts her best as some rich, American workaholic. Disappointing to you Jack Black fans out there...he is not that funny here. Well, he is after all not the main character of this movie. Compared to Jude Law....well....I can say hit the road Jack.
There are moral stories and there are moral stories.....and the warm moments are well...warm moments. If for some reason you might think of bringing out someone for a date and maybe ice-cream afterwards this is certainly the movie. Owh...and guys....do wear something that you won't care much if it stains. And slight shoulder cramps after is a normal side effect. This is a so-so 2 out of 5.
