Average Rating: 5.8/10

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

Runtime: 1 hr 42 mins

Genre: Comedies

Synopsis: DOWN WITH LOVE is an old-fashioned romantic comedy with a twist, starring "Chicago's" Oscar-nominated Renee Zellweger and "Moulin Rouge's" Ewan McGregor. Putting a hip spin on the golden age of the classic Rock Hudson-Doris Day... DOWN WITH LOVE is an old-fashioned romantic comedy with a twist, starring "Chicago's" Oscar-nominated Renee Zellweger and "Moulin Rouge's" Ewan McGregor. Putting a hip spin on the golden age of the classic Rock Hudson-Doris Day comedies, the film is the story of a spark-filled collision between a woman who has sworn off love and a ladies' man who thinks he doesn't need love. Set in the early 1960s, by way of the early 2000s, every frame pops with the super-saturated palette of sixties Technicolor. Process shots, stock shots, backlot New York City street scenes, snazzy apartments, and elegant supper clubs are the backdrop for DOWN WITH LOVE's characters, including Zellweger's best-selling advice author and McGregor's hotshot journalist/playboy. Barbara Novak (Renee Zellweger) hits New York City with her new book DOWN WITH LOVE, a pre-feminist manifesto on saying "no" to love and "yes" to career, empowerment - and sex. As Barbara's revolutionary tome rockets to the top of best-seller charts, she becomes the target of ace journalist Catcher "Catch" Block (Ewan McGregor), ladies' man / man's man/ man about town, who is determined to take her down. Catch's best friend and boss, the neurotic and lovesick Peter McMannus (David Hyde Pierce), tries to rein in his star writer, while haplessly pursuing the object of his affections, Vikki Hiller (Sarah Paulson), Barbara's brilliant and feisty editor. Vikki plays tough in a man's world, which includes her old-style chauvinist boss, Theodore Banner (Tony Randall). [More]
