'Down with Love' should have been a musical."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker "Even if you didn't know what happens in Pillow Talk, you'd be hard-pressed not to know what happens next. Even so, Down With Love lurches from couple-making moment to moment, the innuendo now splashed all over the surface."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 61/100 "All artifice, so little art. Does this film have anything new to offer? If not, why bother?"   Cinemania   Dan Jardine 2.5/4 "...bubbly and cute, but instantly forgettable."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair "... cotton candy-colored homage to those deliciously dishy ’60s romantic fantasies ..."   Portland Tribune   Dawn Taylor 3/4 "Luscious, inventive, and always dreamy."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 2/4 "Down With Love doesn’t have a serious bone in its artificial body--it doesn’t penetrate [wink, wink] any myths as much as it wallows in them."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez A "Those of us who have made motion pictures a passion will find extra joy in all the little cinematic in-jokes."   FilmJerk.com   Edward Havens "En algún momento, los guionistas Eve Ahlert y Dennis Drake se olvidan que más que un ejercicio de estilo Abajo el amor es una comedia que debería divertir. Y más aún, es una historia que debería entretener."   Uruguay Total   Enrique Buchichio B- "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."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 4/4 "One of the most vivid, funny and slyly penetrative romantic comedies in years so get down with it before it goes down, sucks out the balls of creative Hollywood executives everywhere and leaves nothing more than a spurt on the cinematic radar."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress A- "The only modern romantic comedy to merit the term 'exciting.'"   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 2/4 "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."   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng B "Enjoyable enough as a lark and lovely to look at, but totally synthetic and artificial."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/4 "Those familiar with the era to which Reed aspires will sit through Down with Love enveloped by a feeling of fondness and affection."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 4/5 "Faux-'60s sex comedy is bright, charming and smart in a million different ways -- especially casting Ewan and Renee as Rock and Doris."   Netflix   James Rocchi 3/4 "Airbrushed to innocent perfection, this kitschy tale speaks volumes of a bygone era when role-reversal was a fresh and illuminating concept."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 10/10 "[Revels] in its own convoluted plot, manically wielding sexual politics like a foam bat, up-playing its retro art direction, and shamelessly getting high off of its own silly, witty dialogue. It's great."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 6.5/10 "Not quite as fluffily enjoyable as some of its predecessors, but a fairly entertaining and terrific effort of paying homage nonetheless."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 6/10 "A fluffy 'make believe' romantic comedy."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 2/5 "To its credit, the script doesn't call for them (Zellweger and McGregor) to sing and dance this time"   ToxicUniverse.com   John A. Nesbit 7/10 "Like the old films it mimics, Down With Love plays with sexual double entendres but never, ever shows any hints of actual sex."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio "...will surely tickle the fancy of anyone who appreciated a time when movies opened with a Cinemascope card and concluded with a happy ending."   Light Views   John Larsen 3/10 "David Hyde Pierce playing a guy who isn't sure if he's straight? Groundbreaking cinema, that."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick "It is a measure of Hudson's achievement that an actor of Ewan McGregor's ability flounders so palely in his shadow."   In the Dark   Jonathan F. Richards 3.5/4 "'Divertida, encantadora, nostálgica y deslumbrante. Una verdadera delicia que no se pueden perder.'"   Moviola   Jorge Avila Andrade 5/5 ""There won't be a dry panty in the house!""   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 3.5/4 "An irresistible throwback to the glamour, wit and style that used to characterise Hollywood."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest A- "A buoyant, witty, and thoroughly charming film that brings you back to a 1963 that we can only wish existed"   Countingdown.com   Larry Carroll C+ "like a strawberry shortcake made with frozen fruit and artificial sweetener - it doesn't look quite right and has a plastic aftertaste, but it's better than no dessert at all."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 2.5/5 "The film is juvenile when it should be adult, coarse when it ought to be bubbly, and upfront when witty circumspection is indicated."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 3/4 "Amazingly simple and breezy stuff but how completely and unexpectedly refreshing it is."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik "Oh, for the days when the cads wore tuxes, had delicious accents, and were as all-around scrumptious as Ewan McGregor."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3/4 "Down With Love’s recreation of an older movie genre is little more than a stunt. However, it’s a stunt filled with fun and a seemingly endless supply of wit."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B "The supporting players, sets, and costumes are so vivid that they make the main characters seem a little bland."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 3/5 "McGregor and Zellweger obviously relish playing these roles, and their gusto is infectious."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline B "Screwball romantic comedy lovingly made in the style of Doris Day and Rock Hudson comedies of the 1950s and 1960s."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten C+ "Stay through the credits for the song and dance number by McGregor and Zellweger. It is the best thing in ["Down with Love"]..."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 4/5 "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."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg D- "Sinks to unspeakably vulgar depths with nary a clue to how far it's falling."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Sean O'Connell "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?"   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 1/4 "An orphan of both mod and the post-mod with nothing at all to say for itself."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw "Down with Love is a fluff film that sparkles despite its main leads having no chemistry."   BlackFilm.com   Wilson Morales "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf 2/4 Read review   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 7/10 Read review   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger  (1 - 46) of 46 OFCS Rating: 67% Fresh Page   1
