Mildly entertaining romantic comedy with Cameron Diaz, Jude Law, Jack Black and Kate Winslet. Plot outline: Two women with guy problems swap houses to get away from their grief and meet local men. Law couples with Diaz (naturally) and Black with Winstlet (although I'd rather seen beautiful Shannyn Sossamon who has a small role in this picture, swapped with Winstlet's lead role).
The story outline is more or less split in half, one love story set in the UK where Law and Diaz hook up and the other in LA (Black and Winstlet). The UK romance represents by far out the better half of the movie in part due to Law's and Diaz chemistry and due to the slightly better plot
Overall, it is the wide array of stars (including veteran actor Elli Wallach) that carry this movie as it misses the quality/realness of a good romantic comedy. (compare to Nothing Hill Gate and Hitch for example).
