Summary: Dissapointing
Review: I first heard of the movie from a preview on the she's gotta have it video. What i saw made me instantly want to see this film. And when it came out in the UK me and a friend rushed to see it. Except what we saw wasn't like the preview there were scenes and plots cut out, like when Al is on his dad's cookery show, on the preview it shows Al apologising to Julia Stiles and her seeing this on tv. In the film she is there with him and he hasn't kissed the girl from Zoe yet. They also cut the airport scene. Me and my friend left the movie theater feeling cheated. This movie could have been another she's all that but with all the changes made to it turned into an ok sunday afternoon movie. The only good thing about it is Freddie.

Summary: A nice way to spend an evening
Review: I'll have to agree with the other reviewers who say this film has an unrealistic beginning (porn movie director roommate, celebrity chef dad), but it does take a realistic look at relationships. They aren't perfect, and everything doesn't always turn out perfectly in the end. I really enjoyed this movie, and it really held my interest throughout.

Summary: A Teen Romantic Comedy with a Twist
Review: In my opinion, I have to say that this teen comedy was, well,DIFFERENT than the rest. But I mean that in a very very good way. Why? The story is not the type of teen movie that you can just predict every moment in the story. It was edgier and bubblier than any other High School-type teen comedy. The story takes place in college, which I find more entertaining than an average High School movie. The first half hour of the movie was kind of strange to me.I mean, a roommate that is a porno movie director and a dad who is a famous cook( played by Henry Winkler) is not your usual dialogue in this kind of movie. Which made me love this even more! I am crazy about romantic comedies and this is BY FAR(so far) the best one I have seen. After you get introduced to the Very Different characters, you find that this movie is incredibly well-written and really sweet and entertaining. i also happened to laugh a lot more than a typical teen comedy. Julia Stiles is my fave actress and Freddie is probably one of the most talented, HOTTEST men on this planet(this was the reason, in the first place, why i watched this movie).Even my boyfriend loved it(and believe me, thats pretty amazing). It has a great soundtrack, too. To summarize my opinion: A funny, sexy, romantic,and edgy must-see movie for almost anyone.(i cant stop watching it) If you like Freddie, I also recommend Boys and Girls.

Summary: Refreshing
Review: This movie was really good. It does get boring with all the narration, but it's a good inspiring love story. Makes you want to kiss the one you love and if you don't have someone to go find that perfect someone. This movie was funny and very romantic. This is a good choice in movies if you like "chick flicks" because this is definately one of those. Freddie Prinze Jr. and Julia Stiles are great together and it adds some charisma and spark to the characters, which totally makes up for the others in the movies who performaces weren't as stunning. This is a great pick!

Summary: Down To You
Review: Very similar to She's All That, and I have a feeling that this is the formula we're going to be seeing for a great deal of time. Freddie Prinze has had the same sweetheart role in every one of his movies - so I'm starting to look for something different from him... Julia Stiles impressed me - as she has now played the ugly girl (10 Things I Hate About You) and the beautiful girl, and each she seems to let her character show. Henry Winkler as Chef Ray was a bit over-the-top, but it worked. The script itself was interesting - although quite predictable (aside from the shampoo-drinking incident). Being so, it had periods where it dragged. It was obviously written to appeal to the teenage audience, and I'm going to venture that it was drawn up the night after the box-office reviews from "She's All That" reached Isaacson's (writer/director) ears.Overall, it was a pretty good movie. The actors worked well with the script, although the format was a bit off - the way that it was told from the point of view of Prinze "looking back" on his first love, didn't really work with the ending, as it would have seemed that Prinze had never seen this girl again in the way he was telling the story. But details are unimportant in the world of teen movies, and the feeling here is good.

Summary: A mediocre movie at best
Review: This movie was horrible! I admit that I am a typical Hollywood fan and am not above watching light, teen, romantic comedies (eg-Drive me Crazy, 10 Things I Hate About You). I loved Julia Stiles in 10 Things I Hate About You, but her character in "Down to You" was absolutely pathetic. This had to be one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The only funny part was when Freddie Prinze Jr's character drank the shampoo, and that was supposed to be a 'tragic' part of the movie. I would not recommend this movie to anyone- save someone with absolutely no theatrical standards. If I had been watching this in the theatre, I would have walked out!

Summary: NOT GOOD
Review: Ok, I didn't like this movie at all. I watched it with high expectations, expecting a light, funny, happy romantic comedy. However, with all the narration I kind of lost interest. When it was over, quite honestly, I was like, "Was there a point?" Despite all the main characters' struggles, it seems like nothing dramatic or exciting happens. Its just kind of a story of the ups and downs of a troubled relationship, which is definately nothing worth making a movie about! There was simply nothing that made "Down to You" stand out from any other romantic comedy in my eyes.

Summary: Not even worth renting...
Review: I wasn't forced into seeing this movie while it was in the theater, I actually went willingly. I can't decide if that or the actual watching of the movie was more painful... I hated this movie. It was boring, unfunny, and immature. I thought the acting was second-rate(at best) and the plot could have used a LOT of help. But overall the most annoying thing about the whole affair was how utterly unrealistic the whole thing was. For one, they have unprotected sex about 300 times! Did she really think that she could do that WITHOUT getting pregnant? Give me a break. And who drinks a bottle of shampoo to get over a lost love? That's not romantic, that's just plain sick. In short, if you want to watch a good romantic comedy with Freddie Prinze Jr in it, rent She's All That. If you want to see Julia Stiles, rent 10 things I Hate About You. But don't waste your time or money on this movie.

Summary: Worst Movie I've Ever Seen
Review: I wanted to see another movie with my friend but couldn't so i suggested this one. I had seen maybe one commercial and thought it might be good, but i didn't know anything about it. About halfway through i wanted to cry. Selma Blair, Henry Winkler and the 'Jim Morrison' guy were refreshing, but other than that, it was painful to watch. The plot would suddenly jump periods of time for no reason. Freddie Prinze was awful. There was absolutely no reason to care what happened. The story was extremely detached and I would have left in a second if i had a ride home. Please, never see this movie unless you have an escape route already mapped out.

Summary: My New Favorite Movie
Review: I didn't see this movie in the theater and decided to rent it. And boy was I suprised!! I can't believe it didn't get good reviews. Freddie Prinze Jr. was a sweetie in this movie and Julia Stilles did a great preformance like the one in 10 Things I hate about You. This is the kind of movie to watch with you honey. I thought it was perfect.
