I just don't get it!

This is a nice piece of romantic fluff and if you're in the mood for a romantic comedy this one does nicely. I realised what I was in for and was therefor in the right frame of mind and enjoyed this very much. Entertainment, pure and simple!
Jude Law's timing is immaculate and he's very sympathetic. I'm a bloke, but can really understand what the girls see in him. Almost too good looking for his own good. :) Kate Winslet is wonderful as usual and I completely fall for her in every film she does. She seems to have no limits when it comes to genré. This being released so close in time to Little Children just shows her amazing range. She's immensely talented and stunning to look at. Seeing her on Letterman and the like leads me to believe that she's also a very sympathetic person. Jack Black is.....well, Jack Black. No real stretch for him. He's his usual self, but a tad less manic. Eli Wallach is marvelous! Very genuine.
The thing that is a complete mystery to me is this Cameron Diaz thingy???
I just don't get it!
It's been so long since I've seen her in anything that I was hoping she'd retired. You only have to mention her and most blokes go all goggle-eyed. To reiterate....
I just don't get it!!
I see very little talent and no charisma what so ever. In my opinion she's not even particularly pretty really. Tall, gangly and not that much to look at all. My opinion, of course. I also realise that it's not a popular opinion, but............
I just don't get it!!!
I'd have loved to have seen someone else in the roll. Jennifer Garner for example. Talented and beautiful. Slides easily between comedy and drama. I've also noticed with her when she's on the talk shows that she's extremely intelligent and very funny. Totally unpretentious.
I'm not going to put any spoilers in here. This is a romantic comedy and a good one at that. Not the best I've seen, but far from the worst.
If that's what you're in the mood for you can't go wrong with this one.
Sorry people. I JUST DON'T GET IT!!!!
