Two women who have suffered loss - one lost her son and another's husband left her for his pregnant mistress. The two women escape their lives by doing a house exchange for 2 months. Good cast.

I think this would maybe appeal to an older woman, or one who has dealt with infidelity or loss of a child.
Of the two I warmed more to Ria, played nicely by Olivia Williams. Andie Macdowell I found very dry here. Though I felt sorry for her, I did not especially feel moved or overly convinced.
The movie itself is filmed very nicely and the soundtrack works well. I would say it is okay to catch on tv, but not a must-see.
Okay. I have not read the book this is based on, and I can't say the movie really makes me want to run out and get it.

Caught this one part way through, but picked it up pretty quick. More of a made for TV type of film, but pretty enjoyable anyhow.

Not a terrible movie, but while watching it I felt like I was watching a lifetime movie. This movie was similar to the last holiday.

I expected this to be a different version of "The Holiday" (which I like). Two women switching houses for a time. But it definitely is not the same movie. It's only getting three stars from Flixter; I wonder if that's because we need special effects to rank it higher. I give it four because I think it deserves it.

A big disappointment. I was excited to see this movie after reading about it, but really it let me down. Slow paced and a poorly written script combined with semi-decent acting. If you're that desperate to see a movie about two people switching lives, go rent The Holiday, because at least that will give you your money's worth.

6.5/10. A fine film, with an interesting plot and a wonderful cast. The characters evolve well and you begin to care about them all. It has flaws, it's a bit illogical, but the fine performances make up for some of the inadequacies.
