Genre: Feature Film-Comedy Rating: PG Release Date: 9-JAN-2007 Media Type: DVD Amazon.com: The bright, glossy world of Doris Day and Rock Hudson sex comedies gets a self-aware brush-up in Down with Love. 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 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 ... Read More Rating:  - StupidDoris Day and Rock Hudson movies were no good the first time, with their split screen phone conversations and crossed wires. They never rose above a bad TV sitcom. 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 |
