Did you really think that our December film was not going to be a Christmas film?? Well, you were wrong! A Christmas film with Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz, Jude Law AND Jack Black? Count me in!

Iris (Kate Winslet) is in love with a man who is about to marry another woman. Across the globe, Amanda (Cameron Diaz) realizes the man she lives with has been unfaithful. Two women who have never met and live 6000 miles apart, find themselves in the exact same place. They meet online at a home exchange website and impulsively switch homes for the holiday. Iris moves into Amanda's L.A house in sunny California, as Amanda arrives in the snow-covered English countryside. Shortly after arriving at their destinations, both women find the last thing either wants or expects: a new romance (it is a rom-com after all!). Amanda is charmed by Iris's handsome brother, Graham (Jude Law), and Iris mends her heart when she meets film composer Miles (Jack Black).

As you can probably imagine, the story might seem a bit contrived at first glance, but the acting and pure charm of the whole cast compensates for that. Jack Black in a different role is heart-warming while still funny. If you what you're looking for is an escape from your everyday problems and routine, then this film is fo you. Add the festive atmosphere and you're set! After all, isn't that what Christmas is all about?
