It's not quite time to press play on our annual The Holidayrewatch (unless, like me, you consider all year to be The Holiday season), but Cameron Diaz' new Netflix movie has the best connection to the iconic romance. In Back in Action, Diaz plays a CIA operative called, well, back into action with her husband (played by Jamie Foxx) after their cover gets blown. While this seems like a far cry from the early 2000s rom-coms she's known for, it actually reminded me of the 2005 flick for one simple reason: her The Holiday character Amanda is a movie trailer editor, putting together action-packed previews (like for a fictional Lindsay Lohan x James Franco movie), and this time, it's her turn to be the hero! We haven't seen Cameron Diaz star in a movie since 2014's Annie, a movie that also starred Jamie Foxx, meaning Back in Action will be her first role in 10 years! Here's everything you need to know about Back in Action.
