A True Feel-Good Comedy...

Rating: Null/10 (11 March 2007)

Jack Black, Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz and Jude Law star in this brilliant comedy about true love and how you can find it in the simplest of places.
Here's the basics:Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet are both troubled with guy problems. Diaz lives in LA, and Winslet in England. The two meet in an online chat room and talk about "home exchange", living in each other's homes, driving one another's' cars, for two weeks.
As you guessed, they each meet a man while on vacation.
I wasn't expecting anything much when I saw this movie. I mainly went to see it because I wanted to see if Jack Black could pull off a "regular nice guy" type part, and, in my opinion, Jack stole the show. This is Mr. Black's best performance that I've ever seen him do, just ahead of School of Rock.
Jude Law was funny and charming, and had good chemistry with Diaz.
Cameron Diaz pulled it off as a workaholic, single women just looking for some fun. She wasn't bad to look at either.
Kate Winslet was fantastic as well, and had the second-best performance, under Jack Black, whom she had incredible chemistry with.
The supporting cast included a pretty great performance by Eli Wallach, as a former screenwriter who gets to know Kate Winslet's and Jack Black's characters very well.
The entire cast put on a believable performance, and fit into their characters very nicely.
I enjoyed this movie very much, and I think you will too. I recommend this movie to anyone and everyone that I know.
