entirely forgettable

This piece of fluff was so forgettable that my wife and I were about half an hour into it before we realized we'd actually seen it before.
I'm giving it two stars because there were a couple of moments of witty, well-written dialogue, because the retro-early sixties fashions were mildly amusing and because David Hyde Pierce gives a funny performance. I also liked the faux-Gershwin music.
Apart from that, not much to object to or admire either. The leads don't have much chemistry and McGregor especially seems very out of his element like a callow, immature version of Sean Connery.
This is apparently an "omage" to the Rock Hudson-Doris Day movies of the early sixties. Those weren't much good either so it's not surprising that this attempt to reproduce them also fails to make much of an impression. July 18, 2008

Stupid

Doris Day and Rock Hudson movies were no good the first time, with their split screen phone conversations and crossed wires. They never rose above a bad TV sitcom. So why would Hollywood producers do another one--not a spoof but a straight copy? Are there really no good new stripts available?

Renee Zellweger is a good actress and has done some good light comedy, as in "Nurse Betty." She's also done drama and musicals. Why she'd allow her talents to be wasted in a film like this is beyond me.

I watched as much of it as I could, hoping it would amount to something. It never did. July 6, 2008

hilarious

Totally hilarious and creative. I'm not a Rene Zelwegger fan (I am a big Ewan fan), but this was a great movie. Awesome ensemble cast. Very fun visually, very snappy dialogue. Definitely one you'll enjoy watching over again. June 18, 2008

IT'S ONLY ME, BUT:

rENE zELLWEGGERS CHARACTER WRITES A BEST SELLING BOOK ENCOURAGING WOMEN TO CONCENTRATE ON THEIR CAREER AND HAVE SEX WITH NO STRINGS LIKE MEN DO. A REPORTER (EWAN MCGREGOR) SETS OUT TO INTERVIEW HER AND PROVE HER WORNG AND CATCH ER IN A LIE. DAVID HYDE PEIRCE STEALS THE SHOW AS USUAL. JM June 1, 2008

Down with Love

This movie is so much fun! It reminds me of one of my favorite Doris Day and Rock Hudson movie! It is a corny movie that you have to view with a sense of humor!

Ewan and Renee were a great match for this movie. Ewan has such a strong voice which he also show in Moulon Rouge
