Top cast: Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz

In a nutshell

Amanda lives in L.A., Iris lives in Surrey UK. The two decide to swap houses for 2 weeks at Christmas, both trying to forget their troubled love lives, until romance finds them anyways.

Our review

This charming story is perfect for the festive period, with a stellar cast.  It is corny, pretty predictable and a tad too convenient, but a reminder that to truly love others, you need to start to love yourself first.
