Synopsis
Two beautiful women, Amanda Woods (Cameron Diaz) and Iris Simpkins (Kate Winslet) both find themselves at the end of failed relationships just before Christmas. Amanda decides to take a two week vacation and surfs the internet. She meets Iris online, and they agree to swap their homes for the holidays. Amanda lives in Los Angeles and Iris lives in the countryside of Surrey, England. Even though they now have a change of scenery and want no contact with men, they are both still depressed and lonely. But things are about to change when Iris' brother Graham (Jude Law) drops by Iris' house and meets Amanda. On the other side of the world, Iris meets Miles (Jack Black) a film composer. Romance is in the air and sparks are about to fly. Douglas Young (the-movie-guy)

1. Because you can't help but feel good when watching this movie.
2. Because any guy would be lucky to have a girl like Irish
3. Because her and Jack Black had amazing chemistry.
4. Because we all loved the "accidental boob graze."
5. Because her and Eli Wallach were magical on screen together.
6. Because Jasper didn't know what he was missing.
7. Because how can you not ship Iris & Miles.

Quotes

Iris: I have found almost everything ever written about love to be true. Shakespeare said, "Journeys end in lovers meeting." What an extraordinary thought.

Miles: [Miles reaches over to grab something on the counter, his arm grazing Iris's chest] Okay, sorry about that. Boob graze.
[both Miles & Iris laughing]
Miles: That was accidental. Accidental boob graze. I'm sorry.
Iris: Changing subject.
Miles: Okay.

Iris: Arthur, I've been going to a therapist for three years and she's never explained anything to me that well. That was brilliant. Brutal, but brilliant.

Iris: I'm having a Hannukah party.
Miles: Did you join a Temple since I last saw you?

Anyone else wanting to be added to the list?

Street Spirit · 11-24-2011, 06:06 AM

That's okay, Laurelle.

BTW, thanks for the new thread!

I had no clue we needed a new one. I didn't look at the post numbers, dumb me.

HeartOfTheOcean1912 · 11-24-2011, 09:56 AM

No need to do so. You were the one that reminded me we needed a new thread

And you're welcome. I see that you're name is not on the list. Would you like to be added?

Street Spirit · 11-25-2011, 12:38 AM

Sure, go ahead and add me.

I like the title a lot! Defo gotta watch this once it's December.

I seem to know you quite well

And I'm definitely go and watch that movie on December too. Oh! Maybe we should have the movie party on December, and watch the Holiday! How's that?

Street Spirit · 11-26-2011, 12:31 AM

That sounds good! We'll have to talk about it more with Lizie.

HeartOfTheOcean1912 · 11-26-2011, 04:42 AM

I went to the Movie Party thread, and we seemed to have said that earlier (

) All I asked for, though, was a guarantee that we are actually going to see that film.

Street Spirit · 11-26-2011, 11:41 PM

We'll see. It can be hard with the holidays to find time.

Elizabeth_88 · 11-27-2011, 04:39 AM

yeh we'll see what happens-I usually end up being busy as well its just finding the time

love the title though-will watch this one way or another

Jojo · 11-27-2011, 04:43 AM

I think I'll cheat and get a head start on this tonight. Jut gotta finish laundry & cleaning the house, accompanied by Christmas music; getting stuff ready for December. Parts of it, anyway. Since it's the 1st Advent today, it seems like a fitting way to end the week. Happy Sunday, all!

Elizabeth_88 · 11-27-2011, 04:45 AM

hope you get to see it Jor-haven't seen it in ages but such a lovely film

HeartOfTheOcean1912 · 11-27-2011, 09:58 AM

I've been watching parts for the last few days, too

Can't wait to see the whole movie though. Not this week, that's for sure. I've got one exam a day to sit, until Friday. Maybe I'll catch a bit during the weekend.

Jojo · 11-27-2011, 04:26 PM

Best of luck on your exams, hon

HeartOfTheOcean1912 · 11-28-2011, 05:09 AM

Thanks

I appreciate it.
