Similar for me, but with a different movie - The Holiday. Two women who have bad relationships end up swapping houses for Christmas and each others' social circles help them out of their ruts.

I much prefer Iris' story compared to Amanda's, even if I do like her storyline as well. Iris makes friends with an old Hollywood screenwriter who knows all about how stories and outright uses his knowledge of movies to help her recognise her own flaws and strengths.
