The Holiday (2006)

Successful but uptight L.A. girl finds her live-in boyfriend with another woman and chucks him out. Successful but mousey London girl's "when he's bored he hooks up with her" guy gets engaged and she's depressed. They find each other through a house-swap site (though why L.A. girl would swap when she could afford to rent a decked out cottage anywhere is beyond me) and, within days, they're in the air on the way to each other's homes for get-aways.

I like some predictability in romantic comedies. I want that guy to end up with that girl. But I always need to like both halves of the couple to care. In this story, there are two couples and I like precisely one half of each. That isn't enough, so I didn't care.
