Loved these two together in this movie. Renne Zellweger was perfect as the "down with love" woman. Great Rom-Com.

This 2003 movie is a clever 'new' take on the 1960's comedy, Pillow Talk. It appears that 20th Century Fox spared no expense on all the right props, bells and whistles to make the 1960's New York City setting both realistic and fabulous. The care taken with the 1960's fashion and fixtures are truly a real delight!
Renee Zellweger, Ewan McGregor and David Hyde Pierce are perfect in their roles reminiscent of Doris Day, Rock Hudson and Tony Randall, respectively. In fact, Tony Randall makes a couple of appearances in the movie, as well, and Sarah Paulson is great as the female executive who is tired of getting the 'old boys' coffee instead of being treated as their equal. A silly but quite funny romp through the '60s and the battle of the sexes, with some unexpected twists and turns in the plot.

Very cute movie that is sort of a remake of Doris Day movies of the past.

If you're a fan of Rock Hudson Doris Day films you may enjoy this, but if not there's no real reason to watch this movie.

Really fun movie with fun oldish songs. While the story is about a woman who writes a bestselling book saying women should be able to enjoy casual/non-committal sex just like men, it is a pretty clean movie. --A bit hokey, but great to enjoy at least once--with someone you like.

"Here's to love!"

"Down With Love is one of my favorite films. It's witty, hilarious, shameless and delightful! The dialogue is almost painfully clever in some parts, but Ewan and Renee manage to carry it off with aplomb. As just about every single other review has said, the lavish costuming and sets deserve full praise, and as some of the reviews have said, the movie really is phenomenal. If you dislike puns, wordplay, saturated colors, situational humor or kitchik endings, by all means--pass on the film. If any or all of the above appeal to you? Do yourself a favor and grab a copy of Down With Love."
