Dumped and depressed, English rose Iris agrees to swap homes with similarly unlucky in love Californian Amanda for a much-needed break. Iris finds herself in a palatial Hollywood mansion while Amanda navigates the lanes of a picture-perfect English village. Soon enough, both lovelorn ladies bump into local lads perfect for a romantic pick-me-up.
I'm not really a big fan of rom-coms but this is one of the ones that I actually enjoyed. Now to make things clear, this isn't one of the greatest movies ever made but it serves its purpose .The dynamic between the characters was what really made me like this one. They're all just so likable! Also, the cast is definitely the main reason in why the movie succeeds as they all fit their characters perfectly. Out of the four characters, I think Kate Winslet's Iris was probably my favourite as she's the one who you would mostly empathize with. However, all 4 actors did an amazing job and had amazing chemistry together. The movie is additionally very funny and entertaining to watch and although I think anything above 2 hours for a rom-com is a bit too much, it works out in this film for some reason.
Score:7/10.
