Summary: Up With Love
Review: The first time I heard about this movie I wasn't too thrilled with it and the story line. But I mainly saw it because of Renee Zellweger and Ewan McGregor. Which btw was my first film seeing Ewan in a movie and I instantly fell in love with him. The plot line is very simliar -- if not it's a twin to the classic movie Pillow Talk (1959) with Rock Hudson, Doris Day, & Tony Randell who makes an appaerance in Down with Love. It is a very enjoyable film other than the huge simularities and the chemistry between Renee and Ewan is amazing. They do light up the screen. Also co-star's David Hyde Pierce & Sarah Paulson are also very compatible in the movie and have equal amounts of great laughs.The movie is about a new writer Barbara Novack who writes a book teaching women how to say 'Down With Love.' And basically teaching them the same ideals that men follow in relationships. While trying to get the book to become popular they meet up with a magazine and try to get a hold of Catcher Block who is the exact type of men Barbara talks about in her book. When the book 'Down with Love' turns out to be a huge hit among women, and a best seller, now Catch is interested; however, can't even meet with Novack after the many times he's ditched her for meetings. So he becomes someone else named Flip and romances her trying to turn the tables around on Barbara. The great thing about this movie though instead of being another 'Pillow Talk' movie remake it's a tribute to it where it's got it's own different story line and it's poking fun at the classic movies in general. The DVD is awesome I couldn't believe all the goodies it had. I had just bought it because I loved the film, but it has an amazing blooper reel, commentary (which I have yet to listen to and view), deleted scene's, the HBO special, and ton's more.

Summary: Doris and Rock--with a Twist!
Review: "Down with Love" is a little gem of a movie that pays homage to the vintage 60s Doris Day-Rock Hudson films that were considered so witty in their day. Although director Peyton Reed explains in his excellent commentary (more about that later) that the film was based on a montage of many of the 60s movies, the plot most resembles "Pillow Talk"--and Renee and Ewan are absolutely perfect. From the clothes to the sets to the photography to the color to the split-screen "talking on the phone" scenes (much more suggestive than the originals!), this perfectly choreographed, beautifully written romp is just a blast, as we would have said back then. There is just enough of a "wink-wink" to let you know that the actors know that YOU know that it's all tongue in cheek"--but even though the satire is broad, it never spoils the fun. David Hyde-Pierce is superb as the neurotic friend of Ewan (the old Tony Randall role), and Tony Randall himself makes a cameo appearance that is simply the icing on the cake. The acting is a work of art, just right, making everything seem effortless. But when one watches the director's commentary, one realizes just how tightly each scene was choreographed to achieve that "effortless" look--unlike most DVDs, I found the director's comments actually added to my enjoyment of the movie, and I watched it again after finishing his explanation of how things were done. All in all, I recommend this movie highly. I truly hope they are successful enough to parody ALL the Doris-Rock movies. I'll be there to watch them if they do!

Summary: Beware-Not a Tribute to Doris and Hudson-Just a Spoof
Review: I know what the advertisements for Down With Love have been reading like, and the actual movie couldn't be farther from their misleading message. This movie is nothing like those sweet sentimental and tasteful movies of the fifties. The ads claim that they play some type of tribute or homage to the Rock and Day films. On the disappointing contrary, this film makes fun of the Rock and Hudson movies, and makes a disrespectful parody of the great classics. First of all, Rene Z. walks around in a prissy manner, as if that is in any way how Doris Day used to walk. Second of all, Rock Hudson was closer to James Bond. While Ewen MacGregor is closer to Austen Powers. MacGregor is just too goofy and un-studly for this role. And the chemistry with Rene is zilch. I found this film offensive because its advertisements lead me to believe I would be seeing a recreation of those old lovely movies. In the Director's monologue, he says that the sexual innuendo is present as it is in those old movies. However, the old movies had tasetful innuendos. They weren't overt and raunchy. And the scene with the split line phone conversation...please, it could hardly be called "suggestive" as the director put it, but flat out, blatantly crass. Skip this cheap parody and view the authentic movies with the authentic stars.

Summary: good only if interested in remakes...nothing new
Review: this movie offers noting new to the old film other than that todays technology allows them to show colors and quality of film is better, as far as story goes, this movie is funny, and an ok story, but if you have ever watched any old movies of Doris Day and Rock Hudson, or Singing in The Rain, or old Danny Kaye style movies, this is an EXACT REPLICA, and does nothing to further the style of movie it copies, I didnt finish it, because i got bored with it i think many will like it, and i thought it was good, i just dont feel like watching it, to me, that style of movie is done and outdated, and can only be resurrected if a different spin is put on it, and this movie puts no new spin on it

Summary: Unwatchable
Review: Maybe this movie is supposed to be campy, and fluffy, and cheesy. And it is, but it is also terrible. It was completely
and totally unwatchable. I turned it off after a half an hour.
Don't waste your time and money.
