What kind of watch this is
Nancy Meyers directs a 136-minute comedy-romance where two women trade houses after bad breakups. One is American, one is British, and both are stuck in their own lives. The swap works until they meet local men who make leaving feel like a loss. It is a film about the specific pain of finding someone just as your ticket home arrives. The runtime is long enough to let the snow fall and the feelings settle. It trusts that you want to believe in a second chance, even if the calendar says otherwise.
