Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet, whose characters are both suffering from recent break-ups, decide to switch houses for two weeks over the Christmas holiday. At first there’s a little bit of culture shock, but they each settle in nicely.  They each meet men, complications ensue, they learn just how great they are as women, and there’s a happy ending.  What more could you want?  I loved it!

Cameron Diaz is darling.  She overacts a little, she’s got that goofy thing going on, but somehow it works for her.  It’s so nice to see Kate Winslet in something light.  She’s a wonderful actress, and very good at comedy.  Jude Law is Cameron’s love interest, and he’s predictably charming.  We expect him to be the cad but he ends up being a really good guy.  Jack Black is sweet and sensitive as a composer who makes friends with Kate.  He’s very attractive in this role!

The girls both do a lot of drinking in this movie – but other than that, there’s nothing objectionable for young teens.
