delightful screwball comedy the way they used to make film.

Rating: 9/10 (16 June 2007)

This is a delightful, romantic, screwball comedy,that does not make sense & it is not supposed to.
This is the crazy kind of comedy that made our parents, Grandparents & still some of us laugh.
Take 2 entirely different women (30 'ish) one In Hollywood & the other in England, they are unsatisfied with there current boy friends, & switch houses for a 2 week vacation.
Cameron Diaz is our wealthy Hollywood executive,Kate Winslet is our English working girl, They just dumped Edward Burns & Rufus Sewell & trot off to each others house.
Now it seems that Kate has a handsome brother Jude Law who drops in on supposed sisters house & meets Cameron, & thusly they fall for each other. Now back in Los Angeles. Kate is getting used to living in this luxurious house of Camerons & who walks in but a co-worker. Jack Black & of course we have another romance cooking.
This fine foursome in roles written for them by Nancy Meyers have a field day. Ms.Meyers also capably directed trheis romp.
Now add to this fun an old time Hollywood writer superbly played by 91 year young Eli Wallach..
The film is long BUT for a 135 minute movies the pace is fast & you hardly realize it.
The acting (except for a bit of silliness) is flawless.
There also is an excellent well balanced song score that actually fits the scenes.
