Like a dose of pleasant holiday cheer, the holiday is a love story with all the lovely Christmas decorations. In the capable hands of writer-director Nancy Meyers (when his first romantic comedy since Something Give), it all begins when two successful but unhappy women connect through the website home swapping, and decide to trade houses for the Christmas holidays a concerted effort to forget his troubles. Iris (Kate Winslet) is a London-based journalist who lives in postcard cottage in Surrey, and Amanda (Cameron Diaz), who owns a film company production trailer (which led him to cutely imagine most of his life as the "new") and lives in an elegant building in Beverly Hills. Iris is heartbroken by love unrequited CAD and a colleague (Rufus Sewell), and Amanda has just broken up with her boyfriend cheating (Edward Burns), so their home swap offers mutual downtime to reassess the love of their lives.It's a Nancy Meyers movie (where everything is fabulously decorated and romantic wish-fulfillment is virtually guaranteed), Amanda connects with Graham, the brother of Iris House (Jude Law) and Iris is unexpectedly hit with Miles (Jack Black), a great - great film composer on the downside of a failing relationship. -Jeff Shannon
