This is my all time favourite Xmas movie, I must have seen it around 6 times now, and it gets better every time. I am like Cameron Diaz character, movies rarely make me cry, but this does...I am aware that many reviews claim that her character is 'unlikable', story to unrealistic, etc...but this all only feels that way if you are not ready to be charmed at this time of the year. The locations are spectacular, whether you like this Hollywood stylish modern villa with a pool and always sunshine, or the English countryside cottage surrounded by snow and a cute village, sitting in front of a fire place. Your heart will warm to either location or both. Deep down, we have to admit that we are all jealous and moved at the same time. Great acting with great locations, triggering a huge longing for the romantic side of Xmas, something that offsets this dark, cold and wet (and for many lonely) time of the year (if you live North....). For me it is 6* out of 5.
