Pillow-lipped Renée Zellweger (Chicago) plays Barbara Novak, the author of a bestselling book called Down with Love that advises women to focus on their careers and have sex à la carte--just like a man would. Determined to prove that Novak is just as vulnerable to love as any woman, dashingly chauvinist magazine writer Catcher Block (ever-charming Ewan McGregor, Moulin Rouge) pretends to be a courtly astronaut who wouldn't dream of putting his hand on a woman's knee. This piffle of a story seems like nothing more than an excuse for ironic double-entendres and dazzling production design, until a sneaky plot twist suddenly raises the stakes for the movie's end. As he always does, the brilliant David Hyde Pierce (Frasier) scores the most comic points as Block's fussy editor. --Bret Fetzer Description: Renee Zellweger (Chicago) and Ewan McGregor (Moulin Rouge) are the toast of the town in the most stylish romantic comedy of the year! From the producers of American Beauty and the director of Bring It On comes a teasing, tantalizing battle of the sexes that is "pure enchantment" (Daily News). When best-selling feminist author Barbara Novak (Zellweger) becomes the target of dashing playboy Catcher Block (McGregor), these sparring, would-be lovers generate enough sparks to fly you to the moon and back. In other words, the ultimate catch has just met his match! Average Rating:
 Rating:  - entirely forgettableThis piece of fluff was so forgettable that my wife and I were about half an hour into it before we realized we'd actually seen it before. I'm giving it two stars because there were a couple of moments of witty, well-written dialogue, because the retro-early sixties fashions were mildly amusing and because David Hyde Pierce gives a funny performance. I also liked the faux-Gershwin music. Apart from that, not much to object to or admire either. The leads don't have much chemistry ...

So why would Hollywood producers do another one--not a spoof but a straight copy? Are there really no good new stripts available? Renee Zellweger is a good actress and has done some good light comedy, as in "Nurse Betty." She's also done drama and musicals. Why she'd allow her talents to be wasted in a film like this is beyond ... Read More Rating:  - hilariousTotally hilarious and creative. I'm not a Rene Zelwegger fan (I am a big Ewan fan), but this was a great movie. Awesome ensemble cast. Very fun visually, very snappy dialogue. Definitely one you'll enjoy watching over again. Rating:  - IT'S ONLY ME, BUT:rENE zELLWEGGERS CHARACTER WRITES A BEST SELLING BOOK ENCOURAGING WOMEN TO CONCENTRATE ON THEIR CAREER AND HAVE SEX WITH NO STRINGS LIKE MEN DO. A REPORTER (EWAN MCGREGOR) SETS OUT TO INTERVIEW HER AND PROVE HER WORNG AND CATCH ER IN A LIE. DAVID HYDE PEIRCE STEALS THE SHOW AS USUAL. JM Rating: - Down with LoveThis movie is so much fun! It reminds me of one of my favorite Doris Day and Rock Hudson movie! It is a corny movie that you have to view with a sense of humor! Ewan and Renee were a great match for this movie. Ewan has such a strong voice which he also show in Moulon Rouge |
