Summary: It's Just another Freddie Flick
Review: This movie is not worth renting, buying, or seeing. It's just another teen Freddie Flick where guy meets girl and they fall in love. The only reason I gave it 2 stars is because Freddie Prinze Jr. is in it. It's so similar to "She's All That" and all his other teen "romance" flicks it's not even funny.

Summary: An old time love story with a new edge
Review: I am well aware that many critics have refered to 'Down To You' as a clichèd romantic comedy, that "wasn't even saved by it's star studded cast", and was a let down from miramax.WELL I BEG TO DIFFER! This is the perfect example of an indie film. 'Down to You' is the best most originally presented romantic comedy I have seen in a long long time. The dialogue was witty and having the actors talking to the audience made you feel as though you knew them.You love them too, it's like a realtionship sometimes you think "how could you have done that!" but mostly you just want to see what happens. I really think it perfectly captures a real relationship with some surreal elements that makes it interesting to watch. The filming techniques were also extremely effective you feel immersed in the story but yet are aware that you're not part of it. I thought it was really great ... it's not like other teen movies; granted some parts are slightly clichèd but the whole of the movie surprised me and I wasn't even sure whether they would actaully end up together... do they? You'll have to watch this stunningly artistic movie to find out! :)

Summary: cruelty+deception+infidelity=world's worst girlfriend
Review: It's hard to believe that people actually liked this movie. I know that everyone has their own preferences, but I find it difficult to see how "Down to You" can be described as a funny and romantic comedy, especially when the last half of the movie is filled with sadness and betrayal. THIS MOVIE IS TERRIBLE. Freddie Prinze Jr. plays a guy (the movie was so bad I didn't even care to remember their names) who meets and falls in love with Julia Stiles, for what reasons I'll never know. In the beginning it's puppy love, sex, sex, and more sex, all without any real love or any noticable passion between them. (However I must admit that the acting was decent; the fault lies with whomever created these empty, shallow characters.) The middle-end of the story is where the movie becomes excruciatingly horrible. Julia Stiles has major mood swings for no reason and takes all of this terrible, raging anger out on her innocent, unsuspecting boyfriend. She pretty much treats her wonderful boyfriend like crap. And let me tell you, I searched and searched for a LOGICAL reason why Julia Stiles would do this to Freddie by mentally running back through the previous events of the movie, but I found nothing. Freddie was a saint to her the entire time. To top it all off, she SLEEPS with another guy. The ultimate betrayal. This is not my idea of a light-hearted, whimsical, romantic comedy that emphasizes the deep and heart-felt facets of true love. This movie was a depressing, pointless, and disturbing portrayal of how some people can acually fool themselves into believing that they can still trust their girlfriend or boyfriend after they've treated them like crap and then boinked someone else. I guess the title of the movie means, "When it all comes Down To You, I guess you're not worth it so I'm going to treat you like garbage and then cheat on you." If you hated this movie but appreciate real romantic comedies, I suggest "When Harry Met Sally" and "Only You."

Summary: Not just another chick flick.
Review: I was up late one night and wanted to get a movie off PPV. I had already seen most of them. Then I saw one that was new to me. Down to You. I remembered my sister talking about, so I assumed it was another chick flick. I got it anyways since I had seen the other movies. Boy was I wrong in my assumption. The movie starts off as your typical boy meets girl movie, but moves on into something that anyone who even knows what love is can relate to. The movie gets into what most relationships are really all about. With the two main charcters talking about the small things each other does that they like, to them discussing their vices, to the pregnancy scare, and the small lovers quarrels, this movie depicts a more realistic relationship very well. I was very surprised with my own reaction to this movie. I thought it was going to be just like all the other chick flicks my girlfriend has drug me off to see about a girl having a baby in Wal-Mart or something. Never would I have guessed this movie would leave me with a tear in my eye and a feeling of satisfaction.

Summary: I was forced to see this film when it was in the theaters...
Review: ... and I ended up being pleasantly surprised. Back when this film was first released, I was forced into seeing it with a female family member. I expected the worst. It had Freddie Prinze, Jr. in it. The commercials for it seemed to imply that it was geared towards the teen set. I really wasn't expecting to like this film. Boy, was I surprised! This film ended up becoming one of my favorite romantic comedies. The story itself, about the evolving of Alfred and Imogen's relationship, was so well written and unpredictable. It wasn't one of those films where you could predict each plot twist twenty minutes before it happened. The cast is above par for movies of this genre. Stiles and Prinze do a good job in their lead roles. Selma Blair and the actor who played Alfred's "artsy-fartsy" porn actor friend were also entertaining. Film and TV legend Henry Winkler added a lot of gusto to the film in the supporting role of Alfred's Emeril-esque dad as well. Guys, if you want a good date movie to watch with your girlfriend that won't leave you squirming, this is the one to get. I highly recommend it!

Summary: More than typical
Review: In reading some of the other reviews, it seems very much that this is a film that people either love or hate. At first glance, it is very much the boy meets girl, boy likes girl, boy and girl date, boy and girl break up, boy and girl get back together and the world is wonderful place kind of story. It's a teen flick so yes, it's going to be predictable. Predictable, however, does not have to mean bad or boring. There was a great deal of emotional undertone to the story. It's about college love, which anyone who's been there knows isn't easy. The timing always seems to be wrong in one way or another. Like many other films, this one does not gloss over that part. It very honestly, I think, shows the kinds of problems that can evolve. Granted, I don't have any porn star turned rich lecturer friends, and I know no one who drank shampoo after a breakup, but there is definitely some measure of reality and honesty to this picture. Yes they end up together in the end (and no, that's not giving away the ending) but it wasn't an easy road nor is there an implication that it is going to be. Love isn't easy. It never has been. If it were easy, the feelings wouldn't have any meaning and this world would be a very dark place. This film captures that essence. If you're asking for a plot that has twists and turns, something that is action packed, then don't see this film. It moves a little slowly and it is difficult to ascertain where some of the characters are coming from. But if you've been in love, if you are in love, if you've had your heart broken or broken someone else's, even if you want to fall in love, see this film. It reminds all of us that there is hope and that you can never completely give up on anybody. One day, you might just be surprised.

Summary: DOWN TO YOU
Review: ITS A TYPICAL ROMANCE STORY WITH A FEW SEMI-DIFFERENT TWISTS BUT WITH THE SAME PREDICTABLE HAPPY ENDING. THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT THIS MOVIE WAS THAT IT HAD FREDDIE PRINCE JR IN IT BECAUSE WITHOUT HIM I DOUBT ANYONE WOULD EVEN THINK ABOUT BUYING THE FILM ON DVD. WILL SCREEN WRITTERS EVER COME UP WITH ANYTHING NEW ?

Summary: Ug, just read the review
Review: Now first of all I like Freddie but the only problem is all the movies that he's in are romantic comedies. I find him to be a very talented actor and I would really like to see him branch out into other movies that don't scream "teen flick!" Now about the movie. The acting was good, and some of the jokes where funny but there's just ONE problem. There was no plot. It just tells about a guy and girl that like eachother and is trying to stay together. Nothing intresting actually happens during it. I almost feel asleep in my chair at the theater! If you feel some strange need to see this movie rent it, but don't say I didn't warn you about it.
