A favorite!

I've got this in my DVD collection and it's a film I've come to again and again, especially around Christmas time. If you're looking for a warm-hearted romantic comedy type movie to see, then this is for you. I love to watch Kate Winslet in everything and anything she does, in this film she portrays the love-lorn Iris who is besotted by her co-worker Jasper Bloom, who treats her like dirt and is aggravatingly blind to his many faults. She switches houses, her beautiful little fire logged cottage in Surrey for Cameron Diaz' stunning contemporary house in the States. I wasn't really a fan of either Diaz or Jude Law, but I quite admired them both in this, they had a sort of chemistry, and their story was funny at times. I just adored his two little British accented girls- they were absolutely gorgeous! Little scenes as in his "home made" tent, "Mr Napkin Head", her life as "trailer" flashbacks, the friendship that develops between Kate Winslet and Eli Wallach's character will definitely touch your heart. The English scenes are also amazing and a big plus when I watch these sorts of films.
