I'm giving it a 9.. since I expected a 6... Sweet Movie

Rating: 9/10 (3 June 2012)

You could Think of this movie as Just another Comedy.. by seeing the likes of Jack Black and Cameroon Dias in the cast. But I got much more than i expected... With a very strong Love theme..a perfect Christmas Love story with all the emotions... Its got more than to its theme of holiday house exchange... Amanda Woods (Cameron Diaz) is an independent woman who owns a company that produces movie trailers in Los Angeles. Iris Simpkins (Kate Winslet)editor for The Daily Telegraph in London. Amanda discovers that her boyfriend Ethan Ebbers (Edward Burns) has cheated on her.. while Iris has been in love with Jasper Bloom (Rufus Sewell) for over three years, despite his unfaithful tendencies. When she finds out that he is engaged another women from the office.... so... they want to get away from their respective situations..... a getaway... so they get in touch through an internet listing by iris... n so they swap their houses... Jude Law is great as Iris' brother.. who gets along with Amanda... Meanwhile in LA, Iris is enjoying the stay at Amanda's house where she meets Ethan's friend Miles (Jack Black)...Later, she finds an old man, Arthur Abbott (Eli Wallach) standing lost at the corner, and escorts him home. She learns that he was a script writer during the Golden Age of Hollywood. The two become fast friends.... with Miles joining Later..
A romantic comedy and mostly lot of romantic comedies do not do a whole lot for me because they are more for the female viewer than the male viewer, but this movie offers a lot of humour, heart and is just generally a pleasant feel good film that I think both male and female viewers will enjoy...one of the better romantic comedies of recent years as well.
