| "Down with Love" is an odd movie, one that delights the viewer but then
outstays its welcome by the third act. At first it is a cheery, corny
romantic comedy set in the 1960s, but then it seems to take itself too
seriously towards the end, as if it...more |

| Barbara Novak (Renee Zellweger) is a Down East girl from Maine who has
come to the big city (circa 1962 NYC) to try to sell her new book, a

| "Down with Love" wonderfully evokes the spirit
and giddy look of a hipper, if not simpler, time.
The party-goers are Beatnik beautiful, the
outfits scream of glamorous pinks and plaids, the
atmosphere is festive, and the playful and jazzy
orchestrations...more |

| If "Down with Love" does nothing else, it should buff up the luster of Rock
Hudson's reputation. And Doris Day's, for that matter. It turns out there was
more to all that pillow talk than met the eye. If being an icon was easy, we'd
all be...more |

| "What should we do?"
"It should be a real Camelot 60's movie, with yummy clothes and sets
and backdrops and rear projections and nothing modern about it at
all. And not a remake."
"Except the dialogue."
"Yes, definitely the dialogue. We should up the...more |

| DOWN WITH LOVE, directed by BRING IT ON's Peyton Reed, is such a scrumptious
piece of cinematic fluff that you might be tempted to say that it's sinfully
