	Down with Love - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Down with Love is an American romantic comedy motion picture released in the United States on May 9, 2003.
		While the plot reflects the attitudes and behaviour of the pre-sexual revolution early sixties, the film has an anachronistic subtext informed by more modern, post-feminist ideas and attitudes; the script mixing early 21st Century ideas with the type of light-hearted banter that dominated films of the early 1960s.
		Down with Love is the story of Barbara Novak (Zellweger), a farm girl from Maine, who finds fame and fortune as the author of 'Down With Love', a book that tells women to become liberated and free from male domination by giving up on love and substituting chocolate for physical pleasure.

	Down with Love (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		He's secretly in love with Barbara's literary agent and best friend Vicki (Sarah Paulson), and is anxious to do anything to make her fall in love with him.
		Down with Love evokes the style of the sixties in a way that makes the movie appear dreamy and unreal, in no small way aided by the lavish sets.
		Down with Love doesn't pretend to analyze serious issues, to examine the changing notions of romantic love, to bridge the gender gap, or to explain why men and women sometimes behave like they're from different planets.

		Barbara Novak (Renee Zellweger) has written a book entitled Down With Love announcing that women should not be subservient to men in the workplace and that she should be the one calling the shots in the bedroom.
		Unfortunately Down With Love collapses in its final few moments with probably the worst plot twist in the history of film: incredibly stupid and frustrating, the twist is a downright insult to its audience.
		Down With Love is a film that is mostly worth four stars but has an ending worth only one.

	dOc DVD Review: Down With Love (2003)
		Barbara Novak (Renée Zellweger) is a fiery feminist and the author "Down With Love," a treatise that tells women to have relationships like men, free of emotional baggage and angst, and to stay on top in the workplace, too.
		Down With Love's failure at the box-office (it made just $20 million despite a strong advertising push) may indicate that today's audiences have moved beyond the kind of movie it honors.
		The Swingin' Sounds of Down With Love is a chat with composer Marc Shaiman, who had to compose a score that sounded reminiscent of the films of the '60s without being redundant.

	Down with Love
		"Down" begins in a bubbly mode, with Barbara Novak (Zellweger) arriving in New York after penning her scorching manifesto for the New Woman (or sexually active single career girl) and joining ranks with spunky editor Vicki Hiller (Sarah Paulson) to outwit the old boys' network at Banner Publishing and get the book into bookstores.
		"Down With Love" is the sort of movie that's often described as a "loving parody," but in this case it's pretty light on both love and parody.
		In "Down With Love," this risqué, perfectly timed little gag is inflated into a much more elaborate split-screen phone call with Barbara and Catch quickly ending up in positions out of the Kama Sutra.

		The early '60s romantic comedies of Doris Day and Rock Hudson are fondly teased in "Down With Love," Peyton Reed's pastel-colored skirmish in the battle of the sexes.
		In it, she proposes a "no" to romance and a "yes" to careers for women, as well as the then-outlandish concept that women should adapt the same sex-for-sex's sake attitudes of men.
		Indeed, "Down With Love" gets the style and flavor absolutely right, and the script by Eve Ahlert and Dennis Drake features all the wit, innuendo, contrivances and conveniences to match its famous precursors.

	Down with Love & The Good Thief
		Down with Love is a lot more fun than The Good Thief, partly because the whole enterprise is premised on being more fun than movies like The Good Thief.
		The tone and spirit of Down with Love seem well-suited to director Peyton Reed, who debuted to moviegoers three years ago with the insouciant cheerleading comedy Bring It On.
		But even if Down with Love is animated and diverting—Ewan McGregor seems to love sauntering around in a role he's almost too reedy for, and some of the visual and audio grace-notes made me chuckle aloud—nonetheless, there's the sense that no one quite believes in what they're doing.

	Review: Down with Love (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		With Down with Love, director Peyton Reed has addressed the common complaint of old-time film-goers that "they don't make movies the way they used to." This feature is intended to emulate early-1960s sex farces in every way imaginable.
		Down with Love opens with the '60s 20th Century Fox logo before proudly announcing that it has been filmed in Cinemascope.
		Down with Love is light, funny, and clever.

		The story is set in the '60s and concerns the clash of wills (and hormones) between Barbara Novak, the author of the brand-new international best-seller Down with Love, and Catcher Block, the top journalist for KNOW magazine (and all around ladies' man).
		In short, be the equal of a man by adopting the man's attitudes about love and sex.
		Down with Love is a wonderful celebration of some of the best and zaniest tropes of Hollywood cinema.

		Down With Love is a funny and different comedy that is an homage to the "sex comedies" of Rock Hudson and Doris Day of the fifties and sixties.

	Down With Love - Music from the Movies
		The comedy/romance score for Down With Love is very reminiscent of Marc Shaiman’s scores for First Wives Club and In And Out.
		The best Shaiman track is ‘Love In Three Acts’ in which the composer fuses numerous popular music styles of the 1950s, based around one main theme into the one track.
		In addition to the score, Marc Shaiman also produced and arranged the main title song ‘Down With Love’, as well as producing and writing the song finale ‘Here's To Love’, which is performed superbly by Renee Zellweger and Ewan McGregor.

	Down With Love
		Down With Love is a hell of a lot of fun, just as it should be.
		Catcher is the one hopelessly in love with someone who doesn't need him, whereas Barbara is now content to fill what would've previously been regarded as a man's role.
		Down With Love has provoked similarly superficial and short-sighted reactions in some critical circles, which is a shame, considering how much it has to offer as an enjoyable, multi-layered piece of popular art.

	Blogcritics.org: Renée Zellweger and Ewan McGregor in Down with Love: "Amiam per comodo, per vanità!"
		Down with Love is a self-consciously stylized, updated version of the romantic comedies from Hollywood's late-"classic" era in which men try to trick independent-but-starry-eyed women into bed and end up falling in love with them just as the gals figure out what sneaks the men are.
		The doctrinaire in the audience may complain when she inevitably falls in love, but the plot is trickier than that, and in any case I've never met an honest career woman who didn't express contrary feelings about romance and work.
		In Down with Love, David Hyde-Pierce in the Randall role is accused by the girl he wants to marry of being gay, but the director hasn't shown us her suspicions mounting so the scene doesn't have much impact.

	Down With Love film review
		Down With Love is a romantic comedy in the vein of the wholesome Doris Day Rock Hudson films.
		As an exercise in nostalgia, the tone and look of Down With Love possesses a novelty aspect, but audiences now are more sophisticated and the titillating innuendo that was once considered risqué back in Day and Hudson's time, now appears twee and childish, even when more explicit as it is here.
		Set in Manhattan during the swinging 60s, Down With Love captures the breezy style of films of the period, from its animated Saul Bass-esque titles, to its bright Technicolor look, to its use of back projection.

	Movie Habit: Review of Down with Love (2003), *** 1/2
		An affectionate throwback to the romantic comedies of the 1960s, Down with Love is a very happy affair that succeeds both as a sappy love story and as a spoof of sappy love stories.
		Down with Love serves up a buffet of cleverness and history; its giddy enthusiasm for the time period is similar to that of Steven Spielberg’s Catch Me If You Can.
		On the surface, it’s formula-driven fluff, but what makes Down with Love work so well is the affection the cast and their director, Peyton Reed (Bring It On), have for the material and its bounty of ideas.

	Down with Love
		Proclaiming that love is little more than an unwelcome distraction, Barbara calls for women to ditch their relationships and pursue sex like men do - a la carte - exactly what they want, exactly when they want it.
		Catcher lays his trap, Barbara realises that love and sex are not so easily separated and comes to the conclusion that she doesn’t practise what she preaches.
		All in all Down with Love is pure candyfloss - a sugary sweet romp through a pair of rose tinted glasses that provides a refreshingly welcome change of pace after a summer of big action blockbusters.

		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.
		Down With Love is a homage to the Doris Day and Rock Hudson comedies of the late 50's and early 60's.

		Though the men in the publishing company boardroom (all of whom have initials as names) are appalled by the idea, her chain-smoking editor Vikki (Sarah Paulson) is thrilled and cagey.
		Donning a pair of glasses and a thick accent, not to mention an aversion to sex, he endeavors to make her fall in love with him and disprove her premise.
		Even so, Down With Love lurches from couple-making moment to moment, the innuendo now splashed all over the surface.

		“Down With Love” is definitely an interesting take on the classic 1960’s sex comedies starring screen legends Doris Day and Rock Hudson.
		Barbara Novak is the author of the best-selling “how to” book Down With Love that instructs women on how to get ahead in the work place by dismissing love and men.
		I guess for the times she would be considered a feminist, she would be considered ahead of her time, an inspiration for women.

		Whether or not Reed has a unique enough vision to make a mark in the wake of the truly remarkable batch that sprung up in the late 90s (P.T. and Wes anderson, David O' Russell, and Spike Jonze) remains to be seen.
