Totally charming and delightful!

Rating: 9/10 (30 December 2006)

I saw this last night, and I swear I had a smile from ear to ear the whole night as soon as Jude Law's character, Graham, was introduced.
This is an absolute must see for Jude Law fans. He is unbelievably gorgeous in this film. Does a man he plays in the movie actually exist though in real life? Who knows but we can dream about it.
I enjoyed this movie and all of its characters. Cameron Diaz (Amanda) and Kate Wislet (Iris) swap houses and travel across the world to stay in each others homes to escape their personal problems. Introduce Graham (Jude Law) and Miles (Jack Black) to each make an impression on these women. Graham turns up at Iris's house where Amanda is staying, in a drunken stupor and the film takes off from there.
Kate Winslet's character Iris is so lovable and down to earth. So many women have been in her position. In love with a jerk who you know is no good for you.
Nancy Meyer wrote this film with the actual actors in mind to play the characters. Seems like Nancy must have some experience in the love lost department, because she managed to write what I have found impossible to say. Everything she wrote made sense. I am now a huge fan of Ms. Meyers and I look forward to future work from her. 9/10.
