Amanda Woods (Cameron Diaz) runs a thriving L.A. marketing business and lives in Southern California. Iris Simpkins (Kate Winslet) writes the popular wedding column for London's Daily Telegraph newspaper and resides in a charming sottage in the English countryside.
Though Iris and Amanda live 6,000 miles apart, they are in exactly the same place: just before Christmas, Iris and Amanda decide to take a needed break from the men in their lives (played by Edward Burns and Rufus Sewell) -- and neither is much in the mood for a nostalgic chorus of Auld Lang Syne.
Amanda, wanting to get out of town for the holidays, stumbles onto an internet site that specialises in home exchanges, and find Iris's English cottage to be the perfect antidote to her troubles. On impulse, Amanda and Iris agree to crisscross the Atlantic and move into each other's home for two weeks.
Iris lands in Los Angeles on a spectacularly warm and clear day. Not long after she arrives at Amanda's Brentwood home, she is befriended by Miles (Jack Black), a film composer who works with Amanda's ex-boyfriend.
In England, where it is anything but balmy, Amanda is just setting into the cosy solitude of the snow-covered Rose Hill Cottage, when Iris's handsome brother Graham (Jude Law) comes knocking at the cottage door.
From Nancy Meyers, the director of WHAT WOMEN WANT and SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE comes this ensemble romantic comedy about the strange ways of love, the high price of neglecting your own heart, and discovering that the best trips are the ones where you leave your baggage behind.
