Amazingly simple and breezy stuff but how completely and unexpectedly refreshing it is.

Consensus: Looks great, but Zellweger and McGregor have no chemistry together, and the self-satisfied, knowing tone grates.

Reviews for Down With Love
Both Ewan McGregor and Renee Zellweger do better than expected - but nothing will ever make us forget Doris Day.

What's refreshing is that Down with Love neatly sidesteps the superior 'modern' tone that creeps into other notable recent films that depict that era -- think Auto-Focus and Catch Me If You Can.

Whaddaya know -- here’s a Doris Day movie starring Renée Zellweger.

Good cast chemistry and a wonderfully colorful 60's styled backdrop makes this retroactive romantic comedy the best madcap sex romp around so far in this hyper-techno movie year.

I love this film.
05/19/03
A finger-snapping, knowingly artificial romantic comedy romp with a wink in its eye and a spring in its step... easily the most unabashedly mirthful film in ages.
05/19/03
...bubbly and cute, but instantly forgettable.

"There won't be a dry panty in the house!"

Effectively satirizes and pays homage to the ditzy romantic comedies of the fifties and early sixties.

One of 2003’s most refreshing surprises.
05/18/03
Down with Love doesn’t even possess the dippy level of misunderstood sexual mischievousness so pronounced in a predictably heavy-handed ‘70s double-entendre Three’s Company rerun.
05/17/03
An irresistible throwback to the glamour, wit and style that used to characterise Hollywood.
05/17/03
Down with Love is a lightweight trifle to be sure; but it's a lightweight trifle that kept me laughing and smiling for 100 minutes.
05/17/03
It is not as funny as a satire of this nature ought to be, but satire is tricky, comedy is hard, and Down with Love occasionally gets them both sort of right.
05/17/03
Down with Love is a fluff film that sparkles despite its main leads having no chemistry.
05/17/03
This pitch-perfect imitation of a Rock Hudson-Doris Day nonsex comedy features Renee Zellweger, Ewan McGregor and a passel of visual delights. But why should we care?
05/17/03
Luscious, inventive, and always dreamy.
05/16/03
It's a cute premise, and several co-stars help keep the fun going for a while.
